But the optics are bad in a post-financial crisis world in which nearly everyone thinks Wall Street fucked up big time, if they aren't all outright crooks. Granted, it was basically SOP that Bernie (and then Trump and the right).

Many years ago, I ran for democratic national committee. My opponent charged that I was dirtied because I worked at a big law firm that had a lobbying practice. No one bought it, and it did not become an issue, and he dropped it.
For stuff this thin to have traction, you have to have an electorate and media that is already predisposed against the candidate.
