The revolving door between banking lobbyists and the Senate's banking committee started spinning just moments ago.
At around 9:45 this morning, the senior economic policy advisor for Montana's Senator Jon Tester announced that he is leaving his position on Capitol Hill for a new job at The Glover Park Group, a Democrat-oriented lobbyist firm.
