A firm representing Saudi & Emirati interests (@TENEO) just bought a stake in a firm (WESTEXEC ADVISORS) co-founded by TONY BLINKEN. The Teneo $ could help defray @WEAdvisors's cost of buying out @ABlinken, who pledged to sell back his stake over 2 yrs. https://t.co/HFRyAIZPm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like @WaltShaub deleted his latest series of attacks on my integrity. Here it is, so you can judge whether it was valid criticism. https://t.co/dibtWOj3jR — PolitiTweet.org

Progressive & Dem groups are suffering a precipitous fundraising decline, & could be headed to a repeat of the 2010 tea party wave, @MoveOn warns. *While stoking fear is good for fundraising, there is also a political truism here: it's easier to raise $ when you're out of power. https://t.co/R7t83bpNXN — PolitiTweet.org

.@WaltShaub's criticism is especially puzzling given how many facets of the TRUMP SWAMP my reporting revealed. https://t.co/Mwb6QLqhyD https://t.co/xOc2BNQEW0 https://t.co/nDH2rEU2As https://t.co/E5XWe8dFe0 https://t.co/K700TEXBDn https://t.co/Ml8WH6BXSu https://t.co/6U3hWIOEQY — PolitiTweet.org

So it’s puzzling to see @POGOwatchdog’s Senior Ethics Fellow @WaltShaub accusing me of being a partisan for using the words “Dem Swamp” to describe WestExec’s merger with another opaque corporate consultancy (@Teneo) that grew out of its ties to Clinton. https://t.co/Li88uSfd5g — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

.@POGOwatchdog has asserted WestExec "circumvents" lobbying disclosure laws, "sells influence & connections” & called it “disappointing” that Biden tapped so many WestExec alumni “because I thought the message was clear … that the swamp is unacceptable & it’s time for a change.” https://t.co/ZurIbZtN8w — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

Government watchdogs should call out transparency & influence concerns regardless of partisan affiliation. @POGOwatchdog has exemplified this, flagging links between BIDEN's inner circle & shadowy consultancies like WESTEXEC as emblematic of the DC swamp. https://t.co/J8RwljMjg3 — PolitiTweet.org

While @TCEnergy was dealt a setback from BIDEN on the KEYSTONE XL Pipeline, the Canadian energy company's signing of JEFF RICCHETTI reveals one way that major corporations are trying to overcome pressure from the left: Hiring lobbyists with close ties to BIDEN's inner circle. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: JEFF RICCHETTI, brother of BIDEN's WH advisor STEVE RICCHETTI, registered to lobby for @TCEnergy, the company behind the KEYSTONE XL pipeline, on 1/15/21 If they were seeking to protect Keystone, it didn't work. Days later, Biden revoked the permit. https://t.co/uxfvD4l1jW https://t.co/c2cLc2tlhF — PolitiTweet.org

For instance, @TheJusticeDept is pursuing antitrust actions vs. @APPLE & @GOOGLE. Apple was a client of @LisaMonaco's at @omelvenymyers, which paid her $694k in total. Google was a client of WEST EXEC ADVISORS, which paid Monaco $36k for advice. https://t.co/c2k07LsLRH — PolitiTweet.org

THE DEM SWAMP: @Teneo, which grew a lucrative consulting practice based initially on its founder's CLINTON ties, purchases a stake in @WEAdvisors, which has thrived because of its co-founders' (@ABlinken & @micheleflournoy) ties to the OBAMA & BIDEN admins https://t.co/33WYOUmJqU — PolitiTweet.org

To be sure, @UnionKitchenDC has also been accused of taking advantage of tenants in its accelerator program. Some tenants say it exerts excessive control, including a requirement that they provide a 10% stake plus a board seat just to get in the door. https://t.co/sPi5y61hMP — PolitiTweet.org
