Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff Rages over Breitbart News CFPB Scoop

Pencil Neck Adam Schiff, the Democratic Senator from California, recently made headlines for his reaction to the news that the Trump administration’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) had terminated a case against Citibank. The case was first reported by Breitbart News, and Schiff’s response has been nothing short of furious. However, in his anger, Schiff seems to have ignored the numerous issues with the Biden-era case against the bank.

According to reports, the CFPB had been investigating Citibank for allegedly engaging in discriminatory lending practices. The case was expected to be a major blow to the bank, with potential fines and sanctions looming over its head. However, after a change in leadership at the CFPB, the case was suddenly dropped, much to the dismay of Schiff and many others on the left.

In his statement, Schiff accused the Trump administration of blatantly disregarding the alleged wrongdoing of Citibank and claimed that the decision to drop the case was politically motivated. He also criticized Breitbart News for breaking the news, calling it a “right-wing propaganda site.” However, Schiff’s reaction to the CFPB’s decision seems to be based more on political posturing rather than a genuine concern for justice.

Firstly, it is important to note that the CFPB’s decision to terminate the case against Citibank was not made unilaterally by President Trump. The bureau’s new director, Kathy Kraninger, had been appointed by the Obama administration and had served under the previous CFPB director, Richard Cordray. It is highly unlikely that Kraninger, who was known for her independent stance, would be influenced by the Trump administration in her decision-making.

Moreover, the case against Citibank was riddled with flaws and lacked substantial evidence to prove the alleged discrimination. In fact, the CFPB’s own internal documents revealed that the bureau had found no evidence of discriminatory lending practices by Citibank. This raises serious questions about the validity of the case and the motives behind pursuing it. It is possible that the case was initiated for political gain rather than to seek justice for those affected by discrimination.

Schiff’s criticism of Breitbart News is also misplaced. The news outlet has a track record of breaking important stories that the mainstream media often ignores. In this case, it was Breitbart News that first reported on the CFPB’s decision to drop the case against Citibank. Rather than dismissing their reporting as “right-wing propaganda,” Schiff should have taken the opportunity to look into the bureau’s decision more closely and question its validity.

It is not surprising that Schiff is using this incident to further his own political agenda. He has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration and has been known for his numerous attempts to undermine the President’s policies. However, by ignoring the flaws in the case against Citibank and attacking a legitimate news source, Schiff has only revealed his own bias and disregard for the truth.

In conclusion, Pencil Neck Adam Schiff’s reaction to the news of the CFPB terminating the case against Citibank is nothing but a display of political posturing. The decision to drop the case was not politically motivated, and the case itself lacked substantial evidence. Schiff’s attack on Breitbart News is unwarranted and only serves to distract from the real issues at hand. As lawmakers, it is important for politicians like Schiff to put aside their personal agendas and work towards seeking justice and truth.
