    She announced her resignation (just ever so conveniently) a couple days after her pension ability kicked in, and after she’d made millions in stock trades.

      But also after she wanted to run for Senate but Trump said “no,” so I don’t think this was all about cashing in on a government pension and quitting or she wouldn’t have had those aspirations.

      She also burned Trump by championing the Epstein file release. Her voting base has rebelled and she knows there is no re-election in her future no matter where she goes. As much as I do not like her and her politics she literally sacrificed herself before leaving. It was a grand show to likely hide your point that she just passed the pension cut off. But it was one hella of a way to go. MAGA is in shambles.

        But I don’t understand why she didn’t just finish her term without running for reelection? Is it so they hold a special election to get a Republican in there they think can hold the seat in November?
