A Trump appointee ended the investigation into Equifax

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-equifax-cfpb/exclusiv...

Wikipedia has more of this guy's greatest hits. I especially love this one: "In January 2018, Mulvaney canceled an investigation into a South Carolina payday lender that had previously donated to his congressional campaigns."

Great find! I like the "Mulvaney submitted a quarterly budget request for the [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau] to the Federal Reserve for $0."

And after trying to shut down the database of consumer complaints, turns out "8 of the 10 firms with the most complaints about them had contributed to Mulvaney's campaigns."
