I guess Hill's trying to have her cake and eat it too.

If Penn were really out of the picture for Hillary, then I would say that he saw the writing on the wall (Hill's probable, though not certain, demise) and that by having Penn resign was a way of Hillary showing her commitment to the labor unions. Penn might want to leave in such a way that his departure wouldn't cause wags to gossip that his leaving was because the campaign was going downhill.

Shame on him, but shame on the Hero of Bosnia for once again putting loyalty ahead of everything else and only jettisoning the toxic Penn [...]
