In typical NYSlimes fashion, the Slimes can't be bothered to mention just why the president would be attacking the DOJ or conveying the very sound reasons for him to do so because the DOJ has brought disrepute on itself.
No, Trump is just vindictive and mean.

Very interesting news. I don't think this is "swamp draining," since she was a Trump appointee who was a law school professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School (George Mason University).
Who is next in line to serve in the Deputy AG role in an interim capacity if Rosenstein steps down?
I suspect she may be bailing out because the entire DOJ is riddled with conflicts of interest from Rosenstein on down.

Let's hope Rosy Rosenstein is next.

I don’t think so. She was appointed by Trump. I would hope that Trump would not appoint a swamp creature. But who knows?

Someone said she worked for Mueller a while back

Interesting. I thought she was one of the “good guys”.

i agree...everyone at Freep was overjoyed about her potentially taking the place of Rosenstein when there were rumors he would have to step down due to a conflict of interest...isn’t she a Ted Cruz bot or something?

"the countrys top law enforcement agency has been under attack by President Trump"
Gotta love the NYT.
I was under the impression that maybe Trump attacked the integrity of this woman, so she resigned.
Newp, she is resigning for no apparent reason even though she is a member of the "top law enforcement agency" in the country.
How many people out there are falling for this steaming pile of bull$hit any more?
How many people with impeccable reputations, high salaries, and universally respected, simply "step down" over NOTHING?
Methinks the media doth protest too much.
This woman is up to her ears in corruption.
Mark it.

I think you may be right. She saw what a mess the DOJ was and washed her hands of it.

I think I know why she stepped down.
She was appointed by Obama to serve the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, and came down on the wrong side of the law in the Board's assessment of the NSA's activities under the Patriot Act.
The Board recommended terminating the covert NSA surveillance. She dissented.
The FISA bombshell is going to have a lot of these people running for the exits. They know damn well that anyone who supported a surveillance program that was abused by the Obama administration is going to be anathema in the Trump administration and may even be a person of interest in a criminal investigation.
