They can’t find a husband so they go to law school.
Exactly. I believe Trump appointed her thinking RR would leave or be forced to recuse at some point. She was forced with the tough decision to prosecute people with whom she knows personally and can also who can destroy your life.
My bad. There was no actual quote.
However, her reason was stated, not in her words, but “according to two people briefed on her decision”.
Where was the reason stated? It was stated after the word “as”: “....she plans to step down .... AS..... the..... agency.... has been under attack by President Trump....”
Note that in the context of the sentence, the word “as” really means “because”. Like when you say “I’m going to have a second helping, as I am still hungry”. “As” means “because” and what immediately follows is the reason because “I am still hungry”.
WASHINGTON — Rachel L. Brand, the No. 3 official at the Justice Department, plans to step down after nine months on the job AS (read “because”) the country’s top law enforcement agency has been under attack by President Trump, according to two people briefed on her decision.
If I were her, and my decision to step down was NOT because I thought the DOJ was under attack from the POTUS, I would definitely challenge the authors for misrepresenting me, and force them to recant - even though there was no actual quote.
I think it’s safe to assume that she stepped down for the reason given in the article and that she wanted to go on record as such. Otherwise, she would have objected the article.
I say good riddance.
Swamp starting to drain itself? Getting out before the stuff hits the fan?
SOme have said that she knows what’s coming related to the DOJ OIG report and doesn’t want to be anywhere near the joint when the bomb is dropped.
“There were no quotes from Rachel Brand in the article.....”
You are right - I was wrong to say she was quoted.
“The two anonymous sources mentioned in the article only confirmed that she was leaving”.
There’s no basis for that assumption. The default interpretation would be that the “according to [....]” phrase applies to the entire article, unless otherwise stated.
Its being reported tonight that her departure is 100% related to being offered her dream job as Chief Counsel for Walmart, Its a money move.
My gut tells me that getting away from the current politics at the Department of Justice made it even more attractive.
She probably know that bad guys are part of the guard now, not just among the peasants.
Maybe she just wants to spend more time with HER attorney.
Promising developments, but like doubting Thomas, I need to see the first indictment.
who wants to be the target of organizations made up of thugs, criminals, spies, hit men, wet workers, killers, liars, and professional cheats... violators of the rights of mankind as provided by God...
no way in hell man.
no way.
the world, our world would be a safer place if they were all in the hot place. THEY are the un named class world wide... the “Seditionists” aka professional intelligence operatives.
The cheif requirement for them is that of a seared conscience. And a strong sense of self preservation.
Unlike our military personell... who seem to be motivated by preservation of our Union. our Ideals. our Morals.
being the head of any intelligence service, is the highest form of curse on a person’s life.
imho.
NO ONE would want that job... and any who would, are very likely, unworthy for it.
9 months is enough time for a mole to dig through a lot of dirt...
I’m glad if I was wrong about her.
I hope she made a public statement denying the fake news article’s negative inferences.
more time with the family... right???
“All these lady lawyers look the same.”
maybe. That door swings both ways, though. Back when I was actively practicing law, all the male lawyers looked the same to me— old white guys in suits. I honestly had a hard time remembering some people’s faces. It was a relief when somebody had a beard or was totally bald or something, so there was an easy clue.
“The timing of this seems very suspicious.”........
Nothing new there when another odumbo appointee flees
Brand is a GW Bush and Elizabeth Dole acolyte.
Walmart issued a press release saying that she’s their new Executive Vice President, Global Governance and Corporate Secretary.
Rachel Brand has a husband and two children.
Thank you for your diligence regarding this individual’s marital status.
All the INTEL HEADS PLUS FBI today are lying about the extent of Russian election hacking. The biggest anti American is Soros, not Russia.
