    I’m not denying that leaving the DOJ keeps Rachel Brand “clean” for even bigger jobs in the future, & probably reduces her stress levels too - but I can think of a few million reasons she’s taking the @Walmart job.....https://twitter.com/cristianafarias/status/962112097546067968 …

    Thing is, you don’t just leave a Senate-confirmed job unless you really hate it there for whatever reason. And political toxicity could be one.

        Can't many things be true? Yeah, it's a great job offer. Yeah, she wants to GTFO of DOJ before it all really hits the fan? Yeah, she doesn't want to Bork herself.

        It’s better to be at @walmart than be a @Target

        It’s a no-brainer and Rachel Brand is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. So, yeah. She went.

        Agreed even though I haven’t met her. I doubt the money is a factor beyond facilitating the major life change smoothly, and upgrading from prosecutor suits to executive suits.

        Does anyone else find it weird that she got this offer-she-couldn't-refuse from a major conservative donor?

        Money over country. History will judge her accordingly.

        Is anyone going to wonder why Walmart went after her of all people? There’s more to this story. There has to be. Who’s in Trump’s orbit that can help make this happen?
