"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is demanding answers from the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Mick Mulvaney. Mulvaney, who also serves as the Director of the Office of Budget and Management, has been under fire in recent days after it was reported he gave the swampiest speech imaginable before a group of banking executives Tuesday. “What you do here matters,” he said, speaking at the American Bankers Association conference in Washington, D.C. “We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress. If you were a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you were a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you. If you came from back home and sat in my lobby, I talked to you without exception regardless of the financial contributions.” Yes, that is a former congressman and current member of the president’s Cabinet admitting that lobbyists who failed to donate to his campaign would have no chance of meeting with him."
