President Joe Biden has “legalized corruption” by placing more than 15 former WestExec members in key places within his administration, the Intercept revealed Wednesday.
“It’s a remarkable march through the revolving door” for the more than 15 former WestExec members to be selected for such powerful positions, “especially for a firm that only launched in 2017” according to the report.
“WestExec’s consultants are so connected and pedigreed that they often hold down multiple jobs, appointments, and titles,” the Intercept wrote.

The notable individuals who previously worked at WestExec are as follows:
Jen Psaki, White House press secretary
Tony Blinken, Secretary of State
Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence
David S. Cohen, Deputy Director of the CIA
Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General
Chris Inglis, National Cyber Director
WestExec is a consulting firm that markets itself as a “unique geopolitical and policy expertise to help business leaders… defense, foreign policy, intelligence, economics, cybersecurity, data privacy, and strategic communications.”

Law professor at Washington University in St. Louis Kathleen Clark told the Intercept a conflict of interest seems to be apparent. “Yes, they’re employed by the government, I’ll grant you that,” Clark said. “But are they actually working for the American people or not? Where does their loyalty lie? The private sector can in essence co-opt the public sector.”

The GOPe has always been afraid. They are afraid of the media.
The media, more than any other institution, is allowing this double standard. Sure, our government institutions are on board, but they are taking their lead from the media.
Just close your eyes and imagine the insanity that would have ensued if Eric Trump suddenly took up painting and was selling his artwork to anonymous purchasers (aka donors) for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the Trump White House had told them “don’t worry, we won’t tell who the donors are” as if that somehow erases the pay to play potential.
Don’t forget, they shut down Eric Trump’s non-profit charity for which he took no salary in 2015/2016 claiming it represented a conflict of interest yet nobody on their side bats an eye at the “Clinton Foundation” scam that paid for Chelsea’s wedding and even paid for the dress. I bet they raked in millions that day too from attendees.
The media is in charge because they have placed their politics above their profession.
It’s crazy. They call you a conspiracy theorist yet they refuse to address things that are so obvious.
There is always a back burner to business. Westexec’s is their partnering with Pine Island Capital. The large companies will use the “smaller” companies oput front to take the hits for them. Members of Biden’s transition team already face scrutiny over their close ties to special-interest groups. WESTEXEC/Pine Island are right in the middle of it.
Pine Island’s ties to the Biden team run particularly deep. Co-founder Clyde Tuggle ran government affairs for Coca-Cola, which hired Biden’s niece, Missy Owens, as an in-house lobbyist in 2012. Its Web site previously listed longtime Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker as an adviser but appears to have removed him after his name appeared in two sets of leaked e-mails purportedly showing controversial deals in which the Biden family was involved. Walker is still a major part of the Chinese company owned by the Chinese government Bohai Harvest.
The sincerity of Democrats who sounded alarms will be tested soon enough. Companies like Pine Island are betting that Washington’s revolving door will be fully operational in a Biden administration.

Lol, the t4umps should announce that ‘anonymous buyers are 5hinking about purchasing Eric Trumps doodle drawings for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and dare the msm to make a stink about it
No statute has changed.
From Wikipedia:
Under a financial disclosure filed by the Biden transition team in December 2020, Secretary of State nominee Antony Blinken declared that clients of WestExec included “investment giant Blackstone, Bank of America, Facebook, Uber, McKinsey & Company, the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, the pharmaceutical company Gilead, the investment bank Lazard, Boeing, AT&T, the Royal Bank of Canada, LinkedIn and the venerable Sotheby’s”. In a similar form, National Security Advisor-designate Avril Haines disclosed that WestExec had worked with data-mining company Palantir Technologies.

Which was organized to conduct the coup against President Trump and form a communist government.
Absolutely correct.
The high point of the media's power was Watergate.
It's a slow process, but I think the media is gradually losing its power -- and the presstitutes don't like it.
“especially for a firm that only launched in 2017”
Makes me wonder if the Democrats set up this firm and funded it with phony government contracts in order to provide secure employment ex-Obama employees.>>> In philly it is known as the “Gas Company” PGW. they might now use the water company the same way.
Obama bragged that he had a shadow government of 50,000. Is this 2017 organization the executive committee of Obama’s shadow government???
“What do you think of graft, your excellency?”
Groucho as Chancellor of Fredonia: “It’s a living.”
Bingo! How many in the organization were in the Obummer *dministration? hmmmmmmm?
The GOP will do nothing about this
Gotta get the 10% from somewhere.
“This is a shadow government.”
That was my thought, too.
It’s Deep State.
WestEXec has a perfect representative of their corrupt scam in the presence of Jen “Bozo the Clown” Psaki.
By the way, in our house the “P” is not silent.
Huh
Last sentence: ***The private sector can in essence co-opt the public sector***
Not to mention the government, Biden admin
So, we already know they have hired many from Facebook, maybe twitter too.
How many and what are their names? These are experienced in faux fact checking
Psaki’a Staci already in place
Biden’s Legalized Corruption is illegal
