TRUST (name).

What name? I feel positively 75 IQ when it comes to figuring out a lot of these.

Who is Rachel Brand?
Why was Rachel Brand dismissed?

Didn't look up yet, but sounds as though Rachel Brand would be one to take the place of RR once he's gone, but Brand is no good...

Someone tell me why Schneiderman's removal was important other than what we can all see.

Okay, did a little searching on Rachel Brand, and memory is slightly kicking in. A few snips.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s No. 3 attorney had been unhappy with her job for months before the department announced her departure on Friday, according to multiple sources close to Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand.

Brand grew frustrated by vacancies at the department and feared she would be asked to oversee the Russia investigation, the sources said.

Top Justice Department official Brand quit partly over fear she might be asked to oversee Russia probeShould Rosenstein be fired, Brand would be next in line to oversee Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, thrusting her into a political spotlight that Brand told friends she did not want to enter.

Steve Vladeck Who is Rachel Brand, and how does her resignation affect Mueller’s Russia investigation?

The reason why all of this matters is because the associate attorney general is the designated successor to the Justice Department’s second-highest ranking official, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. And it is Rosenstein, thanks to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who authorized Mueller’s investigation in the first place — and who is the only government official with the legal authority to directly fire Mueller and otherwise terminate his investigation. In other words, Rosenstein is the crucial fulcrum between the political leadership of the Trump administration and the quasi-independent special counsel. The president cannot directly interfere with the special counsel’s investigation without going through — or getting rid of — Rosenstein.

Best I can figure is something involved with these on-goings must be tried by NY. Weenie's laptop related? Because it was seized there? Only putting forth guesses.
