Researchers, academics, or even ex-employees in a field are better than lobbyists. They could have picked an economics professor, or senior credit union staff, yet we are to believe the only experts they could find where lobbyists? What sort of process do you think led to such an outcome? Conflating experts with lobbyists is a mistake, as experts specialize in a field, while lobbyists specialize in influence peddling.
That there exist rare examples of reformed, vegan foxes, should not mislead us into thinking they're a good choice for hen house guards.

X finishes school and starts working for company Y. X joins politics. X is voted or named in a political position where it favours the company Y. After the political career X is hired again by the company Y or by a "think tank" sponsored by the company Y. Rinse and repeat.
