So Much For Draining the Swamp Exhibit 1,000,000


?s=19

Mick Mulvaney had a policy when he was in Congress: if you were a lobbyist who wanted a meeting — you had to contribute to his campaign.

He told this to 1,300 bankers and lobbyists today before urging them to donate to bank-friendly reps.

Seriously, Donald Trump did not drain the swamp; he made it worse. He might have made it worse than anyone thought it could be. Did you ever think you would learn that a person in a Presidential cabinet, while in Congress, demanded lobbyists donate to his campaign before he would meet with the lobbyists?
