Vin Weber — A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

...The Star Tribune and MPR play Minnesota-nice and give Weber a pass. He’s billed as the former Congressman, an influential Republican with a long political history. MPR also notes his affiliation with the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota. Neither mentions what he does for a living. Weber is managing partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Clark and Weinstock, “a consulting firm providing strategic advice to businesses interested in the policy-making process of the legislative and executive government branches,” as it’s described on the Humphrey Institute website.

In other words, lobbying, often known as influence-peddling when it’s done by well-connected former office holders like Weber.
