Quitting now relieves Brand of having to take a stance.The Justice Department's third-ranking official, Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, is resigning her post for a job in the private sector, officials said Friday.
Brand moved to depart after an unusually brief tenure in the post: just eight-and-a-half months. She's expected to take a senior position at Wal-Mart, one source close to the Justice Department said.
Brand has been the focus of recent speculation since she could be abruptly elevated to take over management of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The possibility that Trump could fire Rosenstein has led to talk that Brand might step into his shoes, since she's next in the department's order of succession. But Trump could appoint any presidentially-confirmed official in the government — or one of hundreds of other Justice Department employees — to take Rosenstein's job on an acting basis.
