Which banks have the most politically involved senior bankers?

Curious to hear more about which banks have a lot of former politicians working for them/senior bankers that are politically involved, and also if it plays a large part in their culture overall (bankers doing fundraising, hosting talks, etc)

For example, Evercore has Roger Altman (Deputy Treasury Sec.), Centerview has Rahm Emanuel (Mayor of Chicago/Obama Chief of Staff), and Allen & Co has George Tenet (Head of the CIA).
