Win-wise, it does show the administration is still at least somewhat vulnerable to public outcry and backlash. That's a good thing.

I repeat, if a company could break the law, and escape accountability by moving the figurehead to a different department, and putting a different asshole in her place... what sort of accountability is there?

I should just make a government where there are 365 DHS leaders, and if you want to get accountability about what the DHS did yesterday, well, lucky you, that DHS leader lost her job at midnight last night!

That makes me think of the UK government, where utter fuckheads resign because they did something embarassing, and a few months later get called back into government. Peter Mandelson (friend of Epstein) for Department for Children, Schools and Families when?

She's been fired; they made up a new position for her that's clearly to keep her under their thumb rather than be a free agent.

Any accountability beyond that is gonna need an election first.

I don’t see evidence for that. She expressed ambition to run for President. That threatened the secretive succession plan around Trump.
