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.”

I looked for the satire tag too... is this for real?
We have enough going on without having to read and discern articles for you. If you guys can’t or won’t, there’s really not a whole lot we can do for you.
Thanks.
For all of you using the “nowadays it could be true” angle, quit making excuses, and face up to the fact that your bias made you fall for it.

Under the relentless thrust of accelerating over-population and increasing over-organization, and by means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial—but Democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.

Interesting. On Cavuto they were saying how much Wall Street hates Holder and how Holder disrespected Diamond making her wait an hour for a scheduled meeting. Must be all b.s.
This is a donation to the DNC. Bet Dems won’t be outraged.
Sigh, its satire but sooo believable!
They aren’t paying that much money for Holders’ stupendous intellect.
Would they pay that much if his black pal wasn’t squatting in the White House?
I agree, and acknowledge it seems this was not an accurate report.
No way should this guy be able to lobby for a number of years, perhaps a decade.
See, there you go...

Eric Cantor’s probably apoplectic. Makes his compensation package look sick.
