McKinsey Gives Pete Buttigieg Permission to Disclose Clients
Mr. Buttigieg will also open his fund-raisers to the press and identify people raising money for his campaign, in a significant concession from a candidate facing pressure over transparency.

The twin announcements from Mr. Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., come amid a back-and-forth between Mr. Buttigieg and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who has spent the past several days challenging Mr. Buttigieg to open his fund-raisers to the press. It is a tacit admission that he could not sustain a transparency fight with Ms. Warren and the additional media scrutiny that comes with being among the presidential campaign’s front-runners.
McKinsey & Company, the management consulting firm that was Mr. Buttigieg’s first post-college employer, said on Monday that it had would allow Mr. Buttigieg to disclose the clients he worked for at the firm from 2007 to 2009, acceding to a request the Buttigieg campaign made last month and the candidate himself amplified in public last week.
“Fund-raising events with Pete will be open to press beginning tomorrow, and a list of people raising money for the campaign will be released within the week,” Mr. Buttigieg’s campaign manager, Mike Schmuhl, said in a statement. Mr. Buttigieg and Ms. Warren have for weeks now been engaged in a bitter campaign for Democratic support in Iowa, a state each of their campaigns view as critical to their path to the presidential nomination.
Mr. Buttigieg started the dispute with Ms. Warren with television ads in September and a series of speeches that suggested, without naming her, that Ms. Warren was too extreme for the general electorate. Ms. Warren responded for the first time last month, telling an audience of Iowa Democrats that she was not “running some consultant-driven campaign with some vague ideas that are designed not to offend anyone,” a remark widely interpreted as a shot at the 37-year-old mayor.
Shortly before Thanksgiving, Mr. Buttigieg challenged Ms. Warren to release tax returns beyond the 11 years she had already made public, while releasing his own tax returns from the three years he worked at McKinsey & Company, the management consulting firm that employed him after he finished his education. Those tax returns revealed no details about the type of work he did for McKinsey, only the locations of the offices to which he was assigned.

Over the weekend Ms. Warren renewed calls for Mr. Buttigieg to open his fund-raisers and name his campaign’s bundlers, telling reporters in New Hampshire that she was concerned about “conflicts being created every single day when candidates for president sell access to their time to the highest bidder.”
Ms. Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont do not hold closed-door fund-raising events. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. allows designated reporters to provide pool reports from his fund-raisers.
Mr. Buttigieg did release a list of people who bundled campaign contributions during the first quarter of 2019 but has not done so since. Senator Kamala Harris of California, who dropped out of the presidential race last week, released lists of her bundlers, but no other 2020 Democratic presidential candidate has done so.
“He is the only current presidential candidate who has released the names of people raising money for his campaign, and we will continue to release additional names as more people join our growing effort,” Mr. Schmuhl said Monday. “Moreover, he will be one of the few candidates to allow reporters access to his fund-raising events.”
Ms. Warren on Sunday night bowed to pressure from Mr. Buttigieg to release information about payments she’d received from corporate law clients, revealing she’d earned about $1.9 million over three decades — a sum that is far less than she could have earned as a law professor at Harvard and other universities.
The events of the past week reignited questions about Mr. Buttigieg’s work for McKinsey, the only time the 37-year-old has been employed in the private sector.
Mr. Buttigieg has not revealed the names of clients he worked for while at McKinsey, saying he was forbidden from discussing them because of a nondisclosure agreement he signed while working at the firm.
McKinsey had not weighed in publicly about Mr. Buttigieg’s nondisclosure agreement until late Monday, when a spokesman said he was now free to discuss his clients there.
“We recognize the unique circumstances presented by a presidential campaign,” the spokesman said. “Any description of his work for those clients still must not disclose confidential, proprietary or classified information obtained during the course of that work, or violate any security clearance.”
Lis Smith, Mr. Buttigieg’s senior adviser, said Monday that the campaign would be releasing the list soon.
Mr. Buttigieg said last week that he was “disgusted” by revelations of some of McKinsey’s work that took place after he left the firm, including work administering President Trump’s immigration policies.

While the Potter exposal wasn’t pretty, Pete may have made the wrong move here.
Now every company Pete served from 2007-2010 is attached to him.

Man I don't like this guy at all but this is faux outrage
This a$$hole has made no bones about wanting poor people not to have health care
Anyone who thinks there's a reason for that other than they paying son is being disingenuous
The only reason to be against public health care is cuz you're taking money from them
So I don't see how proof that he was taking money from them a decade ago bringing coffees to the guys writing a rubber stamped downsizing report matters
If there was hard and fast proof that he saved mofukkers out the towers in 9/11, it wouldn't matter because the fact that he is so anti public health care today tell you everything you need to know.

Pete Buttigieg Releases List of McKinsey Clients
The list is the latest in a series of disclosures his campaign has made after it was criticized for lacking transparency.

The client list includes:
The list shows Mr. Buttigieg worked on projects in the health care and retail industries, along with federal government projects relating to the environment and the economies in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as nonprofit environmental groups
While Mr. Buttigieg has for years spoken about his efforts, while working at McKinsey, to create an entrepreneurial environment in Iraq and Afghanistan, and wrote in his memoir this year about a project on Canadian cereal prices, the most politically troubling element of his client list might be his tenure working for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a health care firm that at the time was in the process of reducing its work force.
Last week Mr. Buttigieg’s campaign said his time in Michigan included “analytical work as part of a team identifying savings in administration and overhead costs

This is a progressive purity test - an attempt to kick Pete out the race. But obviously progressives aren't most of the party. They are a minority.
Also, this was a pretty stupid try. Try again but on the merits next time.

it was a progressive purity test, since pete likes to play both sides. some of the slower voters needed to see actual names. even though most of us can tell pete is a corporate dem that could care less about the average joe and jane.
If the party wants to take control of the government, they need progressives, i.e. younger voters. This dismissive attitude you and others have is a reason this party is a mess and abhors wielding power.
Pete is out of line with his own age group, millennials. If he's out of touch/step with people his own age, how the hell is he gonna win a national election and inspire turnout?
This came and went.
