Odd career move because the handwriting is on the wall - Rosenstein’s days are numbered.

He will be leaving one way or another and probably sooner rather than later.

She is in position to move up to the #2 slot.

BUt since it says she’s accepting a pvt sector “General Counsel” job, that could pay well upwards of $500K per year or even a great deal more, depending upon the company. Once she had any reasons at all to think about leaving DOJ, the temptations for a pvt sector salary may simply have been too great. It is not everyone’s dream to be Deputy Attorney General.

“left her in the cross hairs of the president.”

F’n NYT. I despise these people. I don’t agree that Rosenstein’s days are numbered. When he wasn’t dumped after the memo came out along with the story he threatened house members that told me the little weasel is going nowhere.

If Sessions is recused and Rosenstein leaves, that would put the pressure of draining the swamp on her. Perhaps she doesn't want to deal with that. Who needs that.

That's my guess.
