What we've seen in government for so often is that people have been shady - about their roles, hiding things, not releasing things.

Conflicts of interest' arise when you're not - when you're sneaky about it, when you're shady about it, when you're not transparent about it. If you tell everyone, 'Here's what's going on. Here's the process; here are the people that are playing a role' - that's being transparent.

There are doctors who help people who have done bad things; there are lawyers who defend bad people. I don't think it's unique to my profession.

From the beginning of the Republic, lawmakers have interacted with people who lobby. Either you abide by the law [regulating such relationships] or you don't.

What are we doing to make sure that people don't get the debate questions ahead of time - because I can tell you this: if my boss at the time, Reince Priebus, had gotten the debate questions, and handed them off, he would have been driven out of this town on a stake, and Donald Trump would have been vilified.

Not everybody who supports Donald Trump, not everyone who supports Hilary Clinton, are exactly the kind of people that you want as supporters.
