KGIII Sweet 16 Matchup
Erica Williams (PCAOB)
vs.
Richard Trumka (CPSC)
Peekaboo, the Star Chamber is Watching! Williams led the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) nicknamed “Peekaboo” because of its secret, unaccountable, and inherently biased prosecutorial processes. With no meaningful supervision by any government official appointed or directly removable by the President, and using funds raised by private taxes with no Congressional appropriation or oversight, PCAOB has investigated and brought countless secret prosecutions seeking to strip honest citizens of their livelihoods and impose quasi-criminal monetary penalties—without a jury trial, due process of law, an impartial adjudicator, or any constitutional accountability.
No one likes a sore loser. Commissioner Trumka showed that he is the ultimate sore loser when he doesn’t get his regulatory way. In November 2023 the CPSC, by a vote of 3-1, rejected Trumka’s proposal to impose stricter regulations on certain weighted baby sleep products. Rather than take no for an answer, Trumka undertook a letter-writing campaign making false and disparaging statements about Dreamland Baby Co.’s weighted infant sleep products and pressuring retailers to stop selling them. Trumka violated this woman-owned business’s constitutional and statutory rights, significantly harming the company and hurting families seeking safe sleep solutions for their children.
