    Katie Porter is a freshman lawmaker from Calif, part of Blue Wave that turned Orange County blue
    • she was a former law student of Elizabeth Warren before becoming a Consumer Protection Attorney as well as a law professor at UC Irvine
    • Kamala Harris, then-AG of Calif, appointed her the State’s watchdog against the banks



    Porter " would you provide your SS# and birth date to this committee "
    Bego " i'd rather not"

    porter " why not, what harm are you afraid of ?
    Bego "identity theft"

    porter "point well taken. But why are Equifax' attorneys argued in court that there was no harm from the data breach of SS#s and birth date ?
    Bego " i am not aware of their testimony"

    porter "Equifax attorneys work for you at your directions, perhaps you should pay attention to to what they do

    In Feb, Trump's newly appointed Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Kathy Kraninger, announced the gutting of the Obama Administration's rule requiring payday lenders to take time to make sure borrowers understood the terms of the loan, and made enough money to pay them back

    In a House Fin Svc Committe hearing last Fri, Katie Porter used her time masterfully to expose Karninger's ignorance as it relates to payday lending
    Kraninger first tried to butter-up Katie Porter, " we recognize you as an expert on predatory lending"

    porter "it doesn't matter what i know; what matters is what your know, as the Director of of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau"

    Embarrassing a CEO accomplishes what. Equifax doesn't wanna be breached.

    Wells Fargo does deserve repercussions for the other things but its not their fault a customer had an accident

    Im sure some car loan customers killed people drunk driving. But im not down with grandstanding politicians.

    Geez. If you make lenders liable for everything that happens on every project they finance, expect financing to shut down. This is second grade logic. We have an entire federal system of laws based on environmental contamination that captures a LOT of potential defendants including those who may have simply owned title at one point and didn't pollute.

    But if your goal is to shut down financing and therefore shut down projects, cheer on.

    should Kamala Harris become VPOTUS , Calif Gov will have to appoint someone to to take Harrris' Senate seat.

    the most likely person will be Katy Porter of Orange County
    back when Harris was AG of Calif, she nappointed UC Irvine Consumer Law Professor Katie Porter to be
    the state's independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement.
    As monitor, she oversaw the banks' implementation of $9.5 billion in settlement reforms for Californians.
