        No need to protect consumers or ensure their financial information, collected without consent or acknowledgement should be protected - is that his contention? @SenWarren

        Remember who he was before he joined this administration. What do you expect a snake like him to say... he is someone who preyed on helpless bank customers.

        I didn't expect this opinion to change about the agency now that he's its head. He railed against it constantly as a Congressman.
