So a friend of mine had a lawyer friend of hers tell her this, and she shared it on FB (I know, i't third hand, but if anyone has something better, I'm all ears).
"The DOJ is supposed to act as an independent, non-partisan entity, able to examine orders and laws, and push the pause button if they see any red flags. The immigration order raised lots of red flags, and had failed in several court challenges already. Refusing to enforce while those serious questions remained was reasonable and prudent. "
In other words, he had no good reason to fire her, and she was just doing her job.
