1. Rachel usually puts forth the most negative possible interpretation of events.
And sometimes she's right - but not always.
This is the DU member formerly known as The Velveteen Ocelot.

4. Interesting that the job offer that could not be refused came from Walmart.

9. I know!
How likely is it that suddenly Walmart wanted to have Rachel Brand SO BADLY, specifically her and nobody else would do, that they would make her a job offer so sweet that she couldn't refuse it even with the future of the country at stake?
It's so weird. |

5. I think Rachel Brand was intentionally bought off as part of the desconstruction
of the DOJ.

7. Work for Sessions or work for Walmart? What to do?
At Wal-Mart, Brand will be responsible for the company's legal, global ethics and compliance and global Investigation, security, aviation and travel departments, along with her role as corporate secretary.

8. It has become obvious that the Donald wants.......
This Russia investigation to go away. And if it does, the United States is no longer a Republic. Congress will do nothing to further hold Trump accountable and let him basically get away with murder on 5th Avenue.
Rosenstein and Mueller will get axed. The FBI continues this in their covert way. The Press starts getting heat and arrests commence. Suspension of the Bill of Rights become a reality. The revolution begins. I know, great idea for a novel. This is a real possibility people. |

13. Trump abdicate and names Jr. to take over......
And what will Congress do? Kiss Jr.'s ring and ass. This country is destroyed literally. Our rights as we know them to be, become null and void. All money, property, etc., goes to the state. We own nothing, entitled to nothing. The Kochs, Wynns, Mercers, Waltons take over. Money talks if you have it. Our only hope is the revolution and military turning against the Trump family. Scary scenario. |

12. I think the FBI is now picking some low hanging fruit
Suddenly the domestic abusers are being revealed. to the nation. Either by manipulating nudges by the likes of Lewandowski, or encouraging the abused ex-wives to become more open. They pissed off the FBI one too many times. The Feds knew they knew about this crap long ago, and patience has run out.
Not hard to predict the West Wing would tie itself in knots to support the abusers and make others wonder what do they have on ME as fellow staffers leave in droves. Rachel Brand has found a safe spot to wait out the storm in a not overtly political place to be available for higher office or even perhaps the Supreme Court someday. For the very first time, I feel "it" is coming soon. What will be the "it"? Don't know, but I dearly hope it doesn't involve North Korea or the Olympics. |

15. Same day the Dem memo was rejected
I think that’s the connection.
And of course she won’t talk, because she’s been given the top legal job at the biggest retail company on Earth. |

16. I know a lot of people like her spin on things, but Im negative enough on my
own and just can’t watch the entire show anymore. Enjoyed her take during my depression when george war bush was in office, but it’s just too much for me now.
I think it’s too late for trump to fire Mueller, but I could be wrong and maybe one of the weekly predictions — since May, 2017 — of a “bombshell” Mueller firing will prove correct. |

17. She got out before it fell on her to fire Mueller. Good on her. Just 9 mon. on the job...
and she couldn't stand the stench anymore.
