Another “acting” role in Trump’s administration. Now that Mulvaney has accidentally told the truth and then walked it back, will he still be around next week?
C’mon, I’d bet this was planned. Once in a while they pretend to let us rubes find the pea under the cup. Mulvaney pulled the short straw to play the huckster.
I have to believe that somewhere deep inside, Mulvaney wanted to tell the truth. Finally. It speaks well of him, imo; though the fact that he took the post at all opposes that idea.
What Mick the Knife’s gaffe proves is that corruption comes SO naturally to Trump and all of his cronies that they can’t comprehend that some people in this country do have morals and ethics and object to corruption. (Trump famously thought—to use the term loosely in his case—that he would be praised by all and sundry when he obstructed justice by firing Comey.)
In fishing, a gaff is a big hook on a pole, you run it into the fish’s gills to haul it aboard. I’d like to gaff a few of trump’s buddys, we could start with that miller creep.

Trump & Co. deny and then confess to their crimes. “Suck it up, buttercup” is their final reply.

You got the huckster part right. SC is noted for it’s "Huckster"s" Wilson, Mulvaney, Graham, Sanford, Gowdy, Haley. Shall I go on . . .

They are all too crazy and incompetent to do their jobs. The whole lying Trump admin should be in jail.

Do you have ANY IDEA how disgusting it is that THIS IS NOW HOW IT REALLY WORKS IN WASHINGTON? That TELLING THE TRUTH IS NOW CONSIDERED A MISTAKE????
