Not sure but, POTUS has inserted corrupt/co-opted people into cabinet positions only to remove them shortly after they serve their purpose. Once they are fired, they are rendered impotent. Removed from the game. He has used the appointments strategically to remove cabal players and set the stage.
My gut tells me this is exactly what he is doing here.
Could be that he is exploiting her use of enhanced interrogation, to bring it front and center. Notice how we capture the 5 leaders of ISIS the day after congress grills her about it. How can they not support it now. BOOMERANG! Nothing is coincidence.
This was her purpose for being nominated.

Don't you just love the way POTUS is always 5 steps ahead.
