POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE: Pam Bondi FIRES Maurene Comey, Federal Prosecutor Who Filed Key Court Docs to Keep Epstein Files Under Seal

What to know about Maurene Comey, Epstein prosecutor reportedly fired by DOJ​

Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor who worked on both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal cases, was fired on Wednesday, Politico first reported.

The big picture: It was not immediately clear why Maurene Comey was dismissed from her job, but her firing is also notable because she is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump during his first term.

Her father is reportedly under investigation by the Trump administration in connection with the Russia probe.
Context: Before her firing, Maurene Comey led the prosecution of Sean "Diddy" Combs in a sex trafficking and racketeering trial. The jury cleared him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted him of prostitution-related charges.

• She served for nearly a decade as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The Epstein saga rages on, the negative market reaction to word trump would fire Fed chairman Powell was swift, Don looks like he will succeed lining his pockets by pushing thru crypto legislation, he also cajoled Senate Repubs in to cutting funding for NPR, PBS, and USAID while giving up congressional control of spending, Jim Comey's daughter was fired from her position as a highly respected federal prosecutor, the tariff circus continues unabated, the SC's conservatives remain steadfast in their belief in the unitary executive by giving trump any power he asks for, promises to end inflation and the Ukraine war go unfulfilled, Americans are catching on to the failures and have expressed their opinion of trump in the polls accordingly, a grotesque giveaway to the rich that takes away from the poor and the sick was passed, and that just covers the last week.

trump definitely took the advice of the criminal known as Steve Bannon.

When Progs are in power, they skewer any non-Progs from their positions of influence. This is why the Republicans have a reputation of enjoying minority status. What is happening now is that they are punching back. You are communists. You just hide it still, although some areas are starting to sprout it in people's faces. Communist China has a population of 1.4 billion people. And they have adapted early 20th century style of capitalism in manufacturing and production. This while we argue simplicity among ourselves. We waste too much. We artificially make a percentage of the population live better than others.

While i agree with most of your post, she definitely failed in the diddy case.

You don't know that. Her track record suggests she did as well as anyone could. The outcome of the case is being used as an excuse to fire her, not a valid reason. It's what trump does.

I appreciate the use of the royal "we." But I wonder if it applies since trumples are so completely detached from reality. Are we all Americans? Yes. Do trumples represent anything approximating what have been America's traditional mores, values, beliefs? Do they hold trump to the code of conduct we have always held the prez to? No. Do they hold him to account or ever question his authority or his judgement? No.

In that sense, to me, they aren't any longer part of "we the people." I think of trumples as them. Because they are an essential part of a movement that is taking the country down.

Trump is supposed to sign more EO's today. Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes. EOpalooza. Do it Trump.

Apparently not.

There's no question trump never lets an opportunity pass to give cover to his duplicity. She has a long track record of successful prosecutions. As we know the man who would be king rarely fires people for actual cause. There's always an ulterior motive.

Firing Comey is common sense, I see why that might confuse you. Doing so brings integrity to the DOJ by removing any conflict of interest as they conduct the criminal investigation against her father.

No, it's showing utter contempt for useless posters such as yourself.

You are "SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED" level shitposting.

Dude, there's a BIG difference between shitposting and shit posting...As the former, he definitely engages in the latter.

I really don't know. I've never seen divisions like this, and I've never seen a large swath of this country decide to create an entirely separate and alternate reality ecosystem. I do hope there is a real "we" again in the future, for my kids' sake.

 

[berg80]

Apparently not.

You must think it was a slam dunk case. Clearly it wasn't. Criminals of means have good lawyers too. It's why trump is a free man.

This is beyond Twilight Zone level stupidity...How this poster can post this knowing that for the past four years we have been outright lied to about who was really running the country. Even as the former President's inner circle pleads the fifth in every deposition...

This is nothing more than the current tactic of project onto Republican's that which Democrats have been doing already...It's meant to distract.

Me too. The country has been deeply divided before. But not over what is fact and what is not. Every day, millions of trumples have the lies they earnestly believe in reinforced by the most powerful propaganda machine ever created. That's never happened before. Not with the guy at the top of the political pyramid being a pathological liar.

Then why are you engaging with those who seek to destroy it?

 

[berg80]

Sorry, but after reading many of your fatuous posts you simply haven't earned the right to be taken seriously.

Earned the right? Who the **** do you think you are?

 

[berg80]

Earned the right? Who the **** do you think you are?

I am someone who has considered the body of your work and found it lacking. Lacking in substantive content, in factual backing, in independent thought, in an ability to recognise the lies trump spews every day.

umm did you follow it at all? lol

Not for nothing, just wanted to say I've enjoyed the conversations. I think we are of a similar age (68) and know we are of like mind.

Given her father’s history of corruption. It’s best to keep her out

 

[berg80]

Prosecutors win some and lose some. This case wasn't a complete loss. She got a conviction on Maxwell. Anyway, the firing IMO was not for cause.
