Dan Jones' company is Penn Quarter Group:

Not a spoopy web site or anything [eyeroll]
"The Penn Quarter Group (The PQG) provides confidential research and investigative advice to businesses, law firms, not-for profits, political entities, and individuals. We specialize in assessing investigative needs, evaluating investigative reports, and responding to investigative findings. The PQG also conducts targeted research and composes confidential reports for clients in a variety of industries."
How many spies-for-hire does one country even need? There's one under every rock. What do they do on slow days, wake up at noon, drink scotch for lunch, then go look for missing dogs and cats?
Huh. Jones' LinkedIn says he worked for "The Daschle Group", Tom Daschle's lobbyist org, "a public policy advisory of Baker Donelson" (what's this, am not a DC wizard) for a year, too.

Led by former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, The Daschle Group provides strategic counsel, political intelligence, advocacy, and media consulting services to select clients with whom we collaborate to develop and implement strategies with a proven record of success.

Another major section of the swamp is dried up old politicians who lose an election but miss DC and the money so much that they start lobbying firms. Sleaze galore. Kick 'em out.
Here's The Hill's 2017 list of the top lobbyists and/or lobbying shops in DC:

Several familiar names there - Heather Podesta, WilmerHale, more
Just idly thinking, but have a feeling we'll see Richard Burr and Mark Warner's names more often in the next few days.
