The "revolving door" in Washington usually refers to people in DC "retiring" to cushy lobbyist or advisory jobs from posts of influence (or sometimes only a lowly Congressperson).
But this particular spinning door actually works both ways...as this Center For Public Integrity article notes when an industry insider gets to "oversee" the industry he was an "insider" (and partier) to.
The folks at CPI do great work and you should read their reports regularly (and support them if able), but sometimes it must seem to them like such an uphill battle....
