Newly-confirmed Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen received around $810,000 in speaking fees from the hedge fund that bailed out one of the primary losers in the recent Gamestop frenzy.

Yellen's financial disclosure shows her making $337,500 for multiple days in Oct. of 2020 from Citadel. She similarly banked $292,500 in October of 2019 and $180,000 in December of that year.

Interesting. So she has a vested interest in making sure the peasants are smashed.

Yep, speaking fees of that nature are more like a protection payoff.

We need to take the language back;

Speaking Fees = Book Deals = Pay for Influence (Bribery)

We tolerate this and accept the crap they feed us.

No human being’s words are worth $1200.00 per second on any market except in the world of corrupt influence peddling.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Of course she did..swamp creatures, ALL OF THEM..I wonder how much the big guy got from his cut

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

"$810,000 in speaking fees"

Sounds legit.

Leftists never recuse for any reason. That is what GOP rollover d-bags do.

“Speaking fees”?

What’s that work out to be per word?

"Yep, speaking fees of that nature are more like a protection payoff."

I am sure that the wisdom in the sum of her speeches, which might add up to 90 minutes in total, was well worth their money. /sarc

It is GOOD to be a gangster in government.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Yeah, “speaking fees”. Can I call it that at a traffic stop so the cop can lecture me and I don’t get a ticket?

[alternatives?]

Give her a break, she is a woman. Also this isn’t anything like a phone call with Russia. Finally, remember the MSM has been telling us for years the Democrats are the party of the oppressed.

[Daveinyork]

Reminds me of that parody on Rush Limbaugh that features Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton.

I read on Gab that Jen Psaki’s husband works for Citadel.
