Mulvaney: I Only Talked To Lobbyists Who Donated To My Congressional Campaign

Mick Mulvaney, the director of the White House’s Office of Budget and Management, told banking officials on Tuesday that while he was a congressman, he had a policy of only talking to lobbyists who donated to his campaign, the New York Times reported.

“We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress,” Mulvaney said at an American Bankers Association conference in Washington, D.C., according to the New York Times. “If you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.”

Mulvaney, who also serves as the interim director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, added that his main priority as a congressman was his constituents.

“If you came from back home and sat in my lobby, I talked to you without exception, regardless of the financial contributions,” he said, per the New York Times.

all the corrupt pieces of venal crap that this disgusting administration has appointed. Both his actions and spoken words would disqualify him from serving any morally competetent president. Unfortunately we have a group in power including a majority in congress that revels in imposing the most harm possible to the citizens of this country that are not of the monied class.

More scum being stirred up from the bottom of the swamp...what is this crap? Do these guys have any memory at all of what they have accused others so much of doing before?

There's something to be said for being open about it and not even bother trying to hide it.

... if a lobbyist or corporate representative wanted to visit him, they had to provide a day of catering to his congressional office or they did not get past his receptionist/secretary. Delay changed the rules back to allow that when he became speaker.
