Rachel Brand (Associate AG) is leaving the DoJ

For reference she's third in line behind Sessions and Rosenstein and would've been the one to inherit the Mueller probe if the latter was fired. LINK

Ms. Brand now oversees a wide swath of the Justice Department, including the civil division, the civil rights division and the antitrust division. She helped lead the department’s effort to extend a law that authorizes the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance program.
In an op-ed article in The Washington Post, Ms. Brand argued that the law “has been valuable and effective in protecting the nation’s security” and that law enforcement officers would be “at risk” without it. Congress voted to extend that law, Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, last month.
On Friday, Ms. Brand hosted a summit meeting at the Justice Department on human trafficking. At that event, Mr. Sessions thanked her for her “strong leadership as our third in command at the department.”

EDIT: It has been pointed out to me that the 2nd sentence is wrong and she was at DoJ (not a position related to the Clinton stuff)

Let me guess, 13 threads were also started on r/politics 2 minutes ago.

It doesn’t bother me. I’m perfectly ok with mine being deleted.

Brand has been at Justice for years. Her assistant also stepped down.

Trust me when Soros tells me to push a story he wants a lot more for his money than two lousy threads.

I was trying down the road when I heard it. Not sure why he’s making a big deal about it.

You people don't have a clue.
Brand leaving is not good news for Trump. If she replaced Rosenstein, She would actually have reined in the abusive Mueller investigation and tightend up his mandate.

Oh, I didn't know she was on the PCLOB. Still wouldn't have had anything to do with the Clinton investigation though.

Was it just last week, maybe the week before, when rosenstein was going to be fired, she was going to shitcan mueller and shut down the investigation?
I cant keep up.
