You’re (Not) Fired: Why Trump is Unlikely to Seek Cordray’s Ouster
If Trump tries to fire CFPB Director Cordray, it could give a boost to Cordray's candidacy and juice his financing (Cordray is considering a run to be governor of Ohio). Moreover, unless a court ruling clears the path for removal without cause, trying to remove Cordray for cause would likely cause a legal challenge that would outlast the expiration of his term. But there are other factors at play here, too, keeping the Trump-Cordray story far from over. [4/19/17]
