Homeland's Revolving Door
The New York Times kicked off a two-part series Sunday on former Homeland Security officials who have made the jump to the private sector. More than two-thirds of the department's most senior executives have moved through the revolving door, the paper reported. One very interesting tidbit: In 2004, DHS won a ruling from the Office of Government Ethics splitting it into seven components for the purposes of federal ethics rules. That means the one-year prohibition on officials lobbying their former agency doesn't apply to agencies within other DHS components.
