In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

US SEC hands victory to IPO issuers who want to avoid class-action lawsuits
A divided Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday handed a victory to companies that want to shield themselves from investor class action lawsuits, making it easier for firms seeking to go public to require that investors resolve claims of fraud or other false statements through arbitration rather than in court.

The US President’s attempt to seize control of our statutorily independent central bank—beyond being illegal—turns out to have been based on a fabrication.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.
