Clintons administration serving for nearly eight years. She was 78. And in a 5. 0 nag any attitude earthquake in central oklahoma damaged several buildings. The Downtown Energy hub of cushing was blocked off and part of the area was without power for two hours. There were several gas leaks but Officials Say they have been contained. No lifethreatening injuries were reported. A spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Says that they have been in contact with pipeline operators in cushing and no immediate reports of problems. Weird, though. Never was an earthquake center. Odd. Back to the political story this morning, the fbi director james comey is maintaining his recommendation that Hillary Clinton not face charges following the newlydiscovered emails.

But late yesterday the fbi director james comey sent a letter to capitol hill saying the fbi completed i
The committee will come to order without objection. The chair is authorized to declare a recession of the committee at any time. The hearing is the annual report of the bureau of consumer for natural protection. I now recognize myself for three minutes to give an Opening Statement. Not that we need a reminder, but if theres one thing that the president ial campaigns of both parties have shown us, that the American People are indeed angry. They have a right to be angry. After seven years of obamanomics, they are suffering through a failed economic recovery. Americans are even angrier though at having their lives increasingly ruled by out of touch washington elites. Every day they see their liberties slipping away as washington grows more larger, more distant and more arrogant. As Thomas Jefferson warned, they are sending swarms of officers to harass our people. The poster child of jefferson is the cfpb. Its director, our witness is, neither elected nor accountable to the American People
To resolve the matter if we can by consent. If we cant, by litigation. And we work with the Justice Department on these matters. Theyre our active partner. And we Work Together on them. And we see eye to eye. The time of the gentle lady has expired. The chair now recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Thank you, mr. Chairman. On the question of exemptive authority as it applies, mr. Cordray, as it applies to your ability to exempt Community Banks and Credit Unions from rule makings, you argued in a recent speech that it was not plausible for you to use such authority to override congresss own judgment on such a broadbased policy matter. And director, as you know, section 1022 of the doddfrank act gave the cfpb the authority to adopt regulations by allowing it to exempt any class of entity from its rule makings. Just this week 329 members of this house wrote to you. It was mr. Stivers letter, actually. Wrote to you to tailor

It has been a volatile situation in ferguson on and off over the last ten days. More on than off. Since the shooting of 18yearold Michael Brown by a Ferguson Police officer last saturday. Tonight, heading into this tonight, it had felt like a particularly uncertain, perhaps a particularly tense evening in part because today, just after noon time, only about four miles from the spot where Michael Brown was killed, police today killed another young africanamerican man in the st. Louis area. This time it happened in north st. Louis inside the st. Louis city limits, again, four miles from where mike brown was the shot a week and a half ago.
