ABC's This Week interviewed General Joseph Votel this morning. General Votel is Strategic Advisor and Board member for DC Capital Partners, a "sector-focused private equity firm that invests in middle market companies in the Government and Engineering markets." It has one Ambassador and six Admiral/Generals on board.
This Week also had former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on its powerhouse roundtable. McCarthy has his own private equity underwriter (PEU) ties with defense focused Albion River..
This Week failed to disclose either man's PEU ties.
Fun fact: A former McCarthy aide now heads the PEU lobby, the American Investment Council.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
