      That’s a totally fair point, and if she really doesn’t step down now, it would make sense for her resignation to be expected after the election. But the leader of an agency like the Secret Service is not the one doing the day-to-day work of protection, they set the culture and make only the most critical high-level decisions. A big part of her job is simply to be accountable, and by not resigning she’s further entrenching what was already a really shitty culture of misbehavior and law-breaking at the Secret Service.
