Republicans have hated it since it was created by Obama

It's how Elizabeth Warren ended up as a Senator because she championed it as and was supposed to be it's first director but they refused to confirm her to the role

@GossiTheDog The only ones who can prosecute him over this are the DOJ which are totally run by T and his cronies.

@GossiTheDog This is not quite correct. It takes an act of Congress to shut it down. But it hasn't been shut down. Instead, its director has instructed its employees to stop operations. The agency still exists (so no law is broken) - it just isn't doing anything any more.
