Co-founded WestExec Advisors

Blinken co-founded WestExec Advisors, a strategic consultancy firm that employed many future Biden administration officials. The firm was criticized by some MAGA-aligned figures as part of the 'permanent bueaucracy' or 'Deep State' that opposes Trump's agenda.

Notes: Founded after the Obama administration ended.

Agent rationale

His role in the 'government-in-waiting' during the Trump years highlights his position as a leader of the anti-MAGA establishment.
