Eric Holder Takes $77 Million Job With JPMorgan Chase
the daily currant ^ | 9/26/14 | staff

Posted on 09/28/2014 1:09:28 PM PDT by Nachum

Just after announcing his resignation as U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder has accepted a top job with Wall Street finance giant JPMorgan Chase.

Starting in early November, Holder will serve as JPMorgan Chase’s chief compliance officer, where his responsibilities will include lobbying Congress on the company’s behalf and ensuring it “gets the best deal possible” from any new proposed financial regulations. Holder will also fetch morning coffee and breakfast orders for CEO Jamie Dimon and board members.

For his efforts, Holder will earn an annual salary of $77 million plus bonuses for a job well done.

In a statement, Holder said taking a job at JPMorgan Chase was the logical next step in his career, given the revolving door between financial companies and the government officials who are supposed to regulate these companies.

“By joining JPMorgan Chase, I’m simply cutting out the middleman -- the U.S. Justice Department -- and going to work directly for the great Jamie Dimon,” he said. “Plus, when Jamie Dimon calls you, or one of his many secretaries calls you, you pick up the phone immediately. Seriously, that’s what we do here in Washington.”

Interesting. Looks like JP Morgan is in protection mode. Don't blame him in the anti-business environment.

He isn’t worth a plugged nickel, let alone $77M.

Further proof of the big Government-Banking Complex.

It’s called “Fascism.”

And, in a few years, Holder will have yet another job, likely working in the prison kitchen or laundry at Club Fed.

Neither Mr. J. P. Morgan and Mr. Salmon Chase would have never tolerated an evil commie like eric holder to even have an account in their financial institutions much less be a member of their once-esteemed staff. For that matter, even the ‘RAT Aaron Burr (founder of what became the Bank of Manhattan, precursor to the present Chase) would have shown eric holder the door.

His party is responsible for 93 million Americans out of the labor force but yet he lands a $77 million a year job with corporate America. Glad to know that leftists have no problem living with their hypocrisy.

This has to be a come-on.

If not then being a corrupt Black guy really pays well.

Yes, it is outrageous that people can be duped so easily.

$77M?

For you “Occupy Wall Street” trolls, that puts your hero Eric the Red in the top .000001%.
