And that he wasn't saying it as a good thing? And that this is far from unique for any Congressman? And that no evidence was presented, and I'm pretty sure it's prevented, to support this article's rather ridiculous claim that "Mulvaney asked the executives and lobbyists to donate more money, and told them the more they donated, the more influence they would have." at least to him as part of the administration?

Of course, I do recall some articles about a certain past Sec of State hoos only non-official capacity visitors had all conveniently made large donations to a certain Foundation, but I wouldn't want to be accused of whataboutism while questioning the hypocrisy of this current "outrage".
