Witness these comments by Mick Mulvaney, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in a speech to banking executives on Tuesday (bolding is mine):"What you do here matters. And, on the lobbyist comment, what Mulvaney is saying is the literal definition of pay-to-play politics. If you are a lobbyist willing to make a campaign contribution to Mulvaney, you had better chance of getting an audience with him. It doesn't matter what Mulvaney said after that -- unless it was something like "I totally and completely misspoke just then"). The idea Mulvaney voiced on Tuesday, however, runs directly counter to everything Trump ran on and says he stands for.
