How federal lobbyists elude control
Washington faces a revolving door as former White House aides like Michael Deaver move to high paid lobbying roles. Representatives Wolper and Kaptur push a 10 year post government ban with heavy penalties, arguing current laws fail to deter ex officials who leverage taxpayer knowledge for foreign clients. The GAO probes Deaver for potential conflicts, while others shift from public service to private lobbying, including officials tied to Rockwell, Brazil shoe makers, and trade offices.
