I believe they wouldn't have bothered if she hadn't run for president. Instead, they would have spent their time trashing whoever was the nominee. She had very high approval ratings when she left as SoS, and everyone was talking about her running for president. They had to put a stop to it.
She was approved for Secretary of State in the Senate by a vote of 94-2. Granted, a few names changed in those 4 years, but not that many. There would be little motivation to try to skewer her if she retired... even the House who started this particular crap had no reason if she was going back to New York to be Grandma.
