In a victory for the Trump White House, a temporary restraining order to halt the president's pick for acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFBP), Mick Mulvaney, was denied by a judge late Tuesday though the decision is likely to be appealed.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled in favor of Trump in his effort to appoint White House budget director Mulvaney to lead the bureau, the nation's top financial watchdog agency.
“Denying the president’s authority to appoint Mr. Mulvaney raises significant constitutional questions,” Kelly, a Trump nominee for the bench, said.

The ruling comes after a nasty partisan spat that pitted the Trump administration against an Obama-era holdout to lead the bureau.
Leandra English was elevated to acting deputy director Friday when Richard Cordray resigned. The fight over who would lead the bureau bled into the weekend and on Sunday, English filed an emergency restraining order to keep Mulvaney from taking control.

Trump = 10 Deep State = 0
Deep State is starting to go down in flames. Can't say I feel one bit sorry for them. Let 'em fry!
Lets hope the demons are destroyed. Allot more work to be done. Go Trump
Wait until you hear about the corruption this agency under Elizabeth Warren and the Democrats have done they should go to jail.
Another one for The Donald.
Hope Leandra is getting her resume updated.
The new director's first job should be firing Leandra and appointing a NEW deputy director. That should clear things up for her.
