Yep, that's exactly what happened to her. But like she said, it's hard for a lot of her colleagues to just quit. She was in a substantially better financial position than most before joining the State Dept.

As far as the shadow ban, I've not been writing or reading much lately (some out-of-town family visiting for a bit), so I hadn't really noticed honestly, but I'll be sure to visit people's pages I follow to make sure I don't miss any great stories. Thanks!
