Biden Transition Fails To Disclose Tony Blinken’s Involvement In Lucrative Consulting And Private Equity Firms
President-elect Joe Biden announced Monday that he would nominate his longtime aide Tony Blinken to serve as his secretary of state.
Blinken’s bio on the Biden transition website does not disclose that he co-founded a corporate consulting firm in 2018 that he allegedly used to cash in on his experience working in the Obama administration.
Over 275 delegates to the Democratic National Convention urged Biden in a letter in August to cut his ties with Blinken.
President-elect Joe Biden’s transition website does not disclose that his secretary of state pick, Tony Blinken, co-founded a corporate consulting firm in 2018 that he allegedly used to cash in on his experience working in the Obama administration.
Blinken co-founded WestExec Advisors in 2018 following his service as Biden’s national security advisor from 2009 through 2013 and former President Barack Obama’s deputy national security advisor and deputy secretary of state from 2013 through 2017. WestExec’s co-founder Michèle Flournoy told The Intercept in 2018 the firm was staffed with “people recently coming out of government” who can help corporations “figure out how to sell in the public sector space, to navigate [the Department of Defense], the intel community, law enforcement.”
Blinken’s biography on Biden’s transition website does not mention his involvement with WestExec, nor does it mention Blinken’s work with the private equity firm Pine Island Capital Partners, which was also founded in 2018.
Blinken’s role as a partner with Pine Island was to capitalize on his “influential networks” and work in tandem with the firm’s investment professionals to “source deals, conduct analyses, win bids, close transactions, and directly advise the companies” it invests in, according to the company’s website.
In August, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party urged Biden to cut ties with Blinken.
“We ask you not to rely on foreign policy advice from those who may have a conflict of interest as a result of their relationships and lobbying on behalf of merchants selling weapons and surveillance technology,” said a letter signed by more than 275 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, according to HuffPost. The letter specifically mentioned Blinken and his work with WestExec.
The Biden transition team did not immediately return a request for comment.

So the GSA now triggers background checks right?
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules Mail-In/Absentee Ballots with No Dates or Handwritten Name/Address Can be Counted
The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court has once again shown its contempt for a free and fair election.
The PA Supreme Court on Monday ruled that mail-in/ballots with no dates or handwritten names/addresses on the outer envelopes can be counted.
The Trump campaign challenged the decision of the Philadelphia County Board of Elections to count 8,320 mail-in/absentee ballots arguing the voters failed to handwrite their name, address or the date (in some cases a combination of all three) on the outer envelope.
Trump’s legal team argued that the General Assembly set forth in the Election Code the requirements for how a qualified elector can cast a mail-in or absentee ballot.
A voter is required to “fill out, date, and sign” the declaration on the outside envelope the Trump campaign argued (citing 25 P.S. §§ 3146.6(a) and 3150.16(a)).
The Trump campaign argued that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the requirements of the sections of Election Code impose mandatory obligations that the ballots cast falling short of these requirements cannot be counted.
The Philadelphia Board actually argued that the Election Code set forth by the General Assembly does not require them to set aside “timely-filed ballots” for “merely missing handwritten names, street addresses, and/or dates on the signed voter declaration.”
Who cares about filling out the outer envelopes? We are a banana republic.
The Trump team argued that a Pennsylvania court already invalidated 2,349 absentee ballots in Allegheny County where the voter didn’t date their declaration.
Commonwealth Court Judge P. Kevin Brobson last Thursday reversed a lower court judge and directed the “Elections Board to exclude the challenged 2,349 ballots from the certified returns of election for the County of Allegheny.”
“…[There] is an obvious and salutary purpose behind the requirement that a voter date the declaration. The date provides a measure of security, establishing the date on which the elector actually executed the ballot in full, ensuring their desire to cast it in lieu of appearing in person at a polling place. The presence of the date also establishes a point in time against which to measure the elector’s eligibility to cast the ballot, as reflected in the body of the declaration itself,” the judge wrote.
