Resigning is for cowards:

Le said that she submitted her resignation, but ultimately chose to stay at the U.S. Attorney’s Office because no one could be found to replace her.

Le also said that after pushing through an order to release a juvenile from detention, she realized that she could affect positive change from the inside.

"Wait Julie, stop,” Le said. “You need to go back and get more people out. That’s why I’m still here. I’m here because I’m trying to make sure that the agency understands how important it is to comply with all the court orders.”

I'm glad she realized it's better to stay and do what she can than to give up
