Robin Carnahan's Transparency Applies to You, Not Her

If you listened to Robin Carnahan talk for the very first time this week, you might get the impression that she's a big friend of government transparency. But if you wanted to know what Robin Carnahan has been doing for all the years leading up to her Senate bid, you'd find that her life is a closed book.

You might remember a while back that Robin Carnahan controversially changed her resume to adapt to the banking crisis and portray herself at an outsider: for years she advertised herself as an executive at the government-run Export-Import bank. In late April she changed that tune, and got caught quietly tinkering with her bio by 24th State. Robin worked in DC for years, but you'd be hard pressed to find her saying more than a dozen words about this experience.

Robin Carnahan’s Track Record on Public Disclosure.

Now the Missouri GOP is unveiling a new chapter in Robin's much-obscured history. Following her stint in DC, she joined the Carnahan family business, the international trade consulting firm "Global Ventures, LLC" - where she worked more than a decade. Carnahan also refuses to talk about what she did here.

But that's not all: prior to her three years at the Export-Import Bank, she was also a "trade consultant" for Carnahan & Associates - yet another family business that Carnahan never mentions.

The remarkable amazing shrinking Robin Carnahan resume fails to exclude what she has spent a majority of her time doing for over two decades. In approximately 24 years of employment, she spent around 18 working for her family, four working in Washington D.C. and two as a lawyer. But if you listened to Carnahan, you'd have no idea.

This begs the question of what she's trying to hide.
