True, but she also may have no appetite for replacing Rosenstein and dealing with the mess.... otherwise, she would stick it out and expect to become #2 this year.....
At some point the corporate $$$ became irresistible (reportedly she can make well over $1 million per yr in such a position with salary plus stock benefits).
Right, I just figure she could have had a job just like this one — maybe not Wal-Mart, but surely another Fortune 500 company — any time she wanted.
A fact of which she is no doubt aware:
In 2005, [James B.] Comey left law enforcement for the defense industry, joining money-in-politics powerhouse Lockheed Martin. As senior vice president and general counsel he earned more than $6 million in compensation in his last full year with the company.
