The banking industry is trolling the halls of Congress, trying to promote a change in the leadership structure of the ConsumerFinancial Protection Bureau.  The Bureau is a government agency the industry fought hard to keep from coming into being at all.

So why the sudden  attention on the Bureau and ‘helping it out?’

Turns out the banking industry wants to have the Bureau governed by a board of political appointees.  Their secret wish is to partially cripple the agency by fanning the fires of political controversy and internecine warfare.

Can members of Congress withstand the pressure?
