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.
