It is very decent of him/her to be willing to answer further questions at all. The US Senate is irresponsible and the USA has it's national security in question.
The US Senate is not dealing with a wayward president who today is saying if Quid Pro Quo exists, so what? (click here) Trump's presidency has gone from bad to worse. The USA national security hangs in the balance and he says if he broke the law it should not matter. It would seem Mulvaney floated this attitude of Trump's and now he is using it as if it is a legitimate defense.
It is like being cheated on by your spouse, "But, honey, it doesn't mean anything."
