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.”

He and Jon Corzine should be sharing the same 4x6 prison cell.
You're thinking they're paying him for what he's going to do on his new job. What's really happening is that they're paying him for not having done all those things he did not do on his previous job. For JPM it's a bargain at ten times the price.
It’s called “Fascism.”
Oligarchy.
In a fascist state we, the serfs, stand a chance of moving higher, but not in an oligarchy, eventually we will all be slaves.
“We understand you’re a soulless wh0re, Mr. Holder. Now, we’re just haggling on price...”
Why is EVIL rewarded? Why? Grrrrrrr!
Oy! I fell for it.
No fair, at the time “Satire” was not listed in the keywords.
“The moderator should’t allow this kind of BS to waste everybody’s time. Next, they’ll be posting recipes and knitting instructions.”
Satire, when directed in a positive and productive manner to attack liberals and promote conservative ideals is very useful in making a valid point.
However, in order for satire to work, the reader must have the necessary skills to detect the satire and understand the point.
“I looked for the satire tag but did not see one.”
Read this from the story...SATIRE!
“We are extremely pleased to have Eric Holder, a dear friend and and tireless advocate for the interests of Wall Street, join our prestigious financial services firm where he belongs,” Dimon said in a press release. “Considering the awful s**t we did — and boy did we do a lot of sleazy, ugly, ethically insidious s**t — Mr. Holder always stood in our corner and defended us no matter what. Hell, I even got a 74 percent raise out of it!
Wise guy eh. :)
I only wish that Holder thought something like this was about to happen to him, and then was told-———”Fooled ya!”
Daily Currant’s a satire site.
But don’t give them (Eric and JPMorgan Chase) any ideas.
Beware the political industrial complex.

“The Daily Currant is an American satirical news blog that focuses on politics, technology, and entertainment.[1] A number of its satirical stories have been taken for true news reports by press.[2]
The Daily Currant is a competitor to The Onion. According to Quantcast, the site garners over 1.5 million page views a month.”
I’ll bet you when all is said and done, Holder lands a job that even makes this bit of satire look tame.
I would have considered making a donation in that case./
PUKE!!!!!
This son-of-a-bitch is a sitting Attorney General and negotiates a $77 million dollar deal, in the afterglow of fining the banking industry billions of dollars. There is something bad wrong here. Please exude my language. This is an ethical violation of monumental proportions.
High Satire here!!!!!!!!
What did Terry Macauliffe make off Global Crossings? A hundred million.. That was years ago. I guess the pay scale improved for some.
never mind
