Of course we all hope that the politicians we vote for act in our best interest. But when these politicians get hundreds of thousands of dollars for work like "consultancy" or "speaking fees", it's obvious whose interest prevail.
In 2017, after having served on the Obama administration, Tony Blinken co-founded WestExec Advisors. While "lobbying" firms have to disclose what they do, because WestExec doesn't list itself as a lobbying firm it doesn't have to disclose its clients. WestExec supposedly is a consulting firm that provides "geopolitical risk analysis”, I guess through inside information from their Washington DC network.
Work that ethics experts describe as "shadow lobbying".
The Biden administration is literally swamped with WestExec "consultants".
Besides Blinken as Secretary of State, his WestExec co-founder Michèle Flournoy was nominated for secretary of defense, which for some reason (a scandal?) wasn't approved.
More than 15 WestExec alumni have joined the Biden administration.
Five have been nominated for high-ranking posts, and 4 others served on the Biden-Harris transition team. Blinken also brought several staff members at the State Department from WestExec.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines worked for WestExec from October 2017 to July 2020, but had her name scrubbed from WestExec’s website.
Deputy Director of the CIA David S. Cohen was an early member of WestExec’s “core team”.
Chris Inglis, who is national cyber director, earned $15,000 from WestExec.
Jen Psaki, now White House press secretary, was a senior adviser to WestExec, where she worked for the controversial Israeli facial recognition software company AnyVision.
Deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco as WestExec adviser worked for Boeing and SoftBank.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) administrator’s office is full of WestExec consultants.
Colin Thomas-Jensen is USAID's national security director, whose WestExec clients included Boeing, SoftBank, and Delta Capital Management.
WestExec's Michael Camilleri is senior adviser to Administrator Samantha Power and executive director of the USAID’s Northern Triangle Task Force.
Maybe the most interesting of Blinken's and WestExec's clients is the infamous Blackstone Group.
Michael Camilleri for WestExec also advised Blackstone and the mining company (Rothschild-affiliated) Rio Tinto:

The Blackstone Group was founded under the guidance of Baron Jacob Rothschild, whose family for centuries has been doing the dirty work for the Anglo-Dutch royal degenerates.
The biggest investment fund in the world, BlackRock, was in turn founded in 1988 as part of the Blackstone Group.
The Strategic and Policy Forum of President Trump was led by billionaire Blackstone founder Stephen Schwarzman (of Skull & Bones) and also included BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
