Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand “had been unhappy with her job for months before the department announced her departure on Friday,” NBC News reports.

“Brand grew frustrated by vacancies at the department and fear she would be asked to oversee the Russia investigation… As far back as last fall, Brand had expressed to friends that she felt overwhelmed and unsupported in her job, especially as many key positions under her jurisdiction had still not been filled with permanent, Senate-confirmed officials.”

1. This is what I've been saying since last week

Rachel Brand doesn't want to be a part of this shit-show. Would you? Really?

On another thread, many posters were deriding Ms. Brand for bailing at the time her country "needs" her. She's a conservative Republican and she's old school. I'm certain she's seen, more than most of us, how incompetent and inept the Trump administration has been. I know I've left jobs when the company was chaotic or non-performing. I can't blame her for wanting to get out of Trump's Circus Ridiculous.

There's also a matter concerning her husband. Ive read that he works for a law firm that is representing several of the people that are within Robert Mueller's investigation. This could create a conflict of interest issue if she were to oversee the investigation while her husband was representing witnesses in the overall case. More chaos.

My personal opinion is two-fold: First, good luck Ms. Brand, in your new job. I'm sure Walmart will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. Second, thanks for your service to our country.

2. The fact that she would be making four times as much money played some role

3. The dimensions of the job were obvious when she took it

She knew she'd be working for a criminal President. Boo fucking hoo.
