Would you say that being the primary U.S. large bank regulator, and then leaving that role and accepting $7.2 million in just 2 years from those same banks in "speaking fees," is corrupt?
All corrupt acts take resources from citizens, undermine public trust and — ultimately — threaten the progress of those who fight for democracy.
