If they had sacked her, that would have been an important signal to other prosecutors as to the limits of what is appropriate.
And mootness or lack thereof is irrelevant in this context. It was a petition for redress of grievances not a pleading in court.
That the grievance is still not redressed does not make the petition invalid or irrelevant.
And the larger point here that should concern us all is that prosecutors have unchecked power and regularly exercise it in unjust and corrupt ways. If you draw the attention of a United States Attorney; it does not matter if you committed a crime or not, you will be ruined financially and most likely put into a position of pleading out so as not be in jeopardy of multiple lifetimes of prison.
