Senior Investigator Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.
MAURENE COMEY ON DOJ FIRING: “Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire, a fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power, of commitment to seek justice for victims, of dedication to truth above all else.”
BREAKING: A new development has surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, as the Trump administration fires Maurene Comey from her job at the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office (formerly the Southern District of New York. ) Senior Investigator Maurene Comey prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Politico reports that “two people familiar with the matter” revealed that Comey was fired on Wednesday. She is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey. In recent days, Trump has been trying to pin the Epstein files on Mr. Comey as well as Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden, although Epstein’s arrest and prosecution took place when DJT was President. Epstein had claimed that he was Donald J. Trump’s “best friend” for a period of at least fifteen years.
It’s still unclear why Comey was fired; no explanation was given. She worked in the U.S. Attorney’s office for close to a decade. Her official title was senior trial counsel. Recently she helped to prosecute Sean “Diddy” Combs.It’s possible that the firing is a result of Trump’s well-documented animosity towards her father, but it could also be tied to her prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell.
EPSTEIN
The Epstein issue has proven devastating for Trump in recent weeks. The past two days alone have seen him launching attacks on his own supporters, calling them “stupid” and “foolish” for demanding transparency on Epstein. The obvious explanation that Donald J. Trump is implicated in the files seems to be slowly dawning on Trumpland (although they prefer to mention Bill Clinton as guilty of sexual misdeeds on Epstein’s island.)

Ghislaine Maxwell was said to have been approached to reveal Trump’s involvement in the underage sexual abuse ongoing on Epstein’s island. In the new book “2024” it was reported that she said she would do so only if she were also free to implicate Clinton as well. Supposedly Trump considered pardoning Maxwell after her conviction and her sentencing to 20 years in prison.
Despite all of the signs that point to Trump’s involvement, Trump’s followers have chosen to believe his protestations of innocence, despite sworn testimony from former underage Epstein victims that they were raped by Donald J. Trump. (The most vocal 13-year-old victim, Virginia Gioffre, committed suicide in Neergabby, Australia at the age of 41 earlier this year.) Trump was found guilty of sexually violating E. Jean Carroll in the nineties within a Bergdorf Goodman Department store. She was awarded $5 million after a jury trial.

The more Trump talks about the Epstein issue, the guiltier he seems. Each new headline pours more gasoline onto Elon Musk’s recent “X” allegation that Trump himself is implicated in the files.
It’s still unclear whether Comey was fired by interim U.S. attorney Jay Clayton, or if the termination came from higher up at the Justice Department — possibly from Attorney General Pam Bondi or DJT.
The firing of Maurene Comey has hit the Internet with a big bang. It seems quite vengeful towards James Comey, from one perspective, but, when you reflect on how her father’s pronouncement about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails, publicized in the pivotal days just before the presidential election of 2016, aided the GOP, Trump should be thanking James Comey. The former FBI Director’s grandstanding pronouncement about Hillary’s e-mails, released on the very eve of the presidential election, was one of the key moments that helped DJT seize the presidency and was considered very bad form for FBI directors through the years, as they were to avoid publicity and politicizing such matters (unlike the case now in Trump 2.0 when every agency is subject to politicization. Most recently, the demolition of the Department of Education and attempts to make FEMA accountable only to the White House, so that states suffering natural disasters of the future are awarded funding only if Donald J. Trump feels like rewarding their loyalty.)

Yet Donald J. Trump has a gigantic appetite for revenge. His firing of former FBI Director Comey in 2017 might be blamed on Trump’s thirst for vengeance. Trump may have been seeking retribution for James Comey’s role in the probe of links between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, as well as a recent Instagram post by James Comey that Trump allies saw as threatening to Trump. (Seashells on the beach, no less.) Then again, Maurene Comey, an FBI investigator for a decade, had key roles in investigating both Jeffrey Epstein and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Maurene Comey’s supportive co-workers escorted the Senior Investigator to her car after the sudden and unexplained firing.
The very brazenness of the act shows the true colors of Trump 2.0. Whatever lawless act DJT greenlights is ignored by his cult followers and, lately, by the Supreme Court of the United States (with the exception of Sonia Sotomayer, anyway, who called out a recent ruling in a strongly worded dissent.)
At the same time that the firing was becoming publicized, CNN had coverage of the $800,000 in food aid the United States is going to destroy (at an additional cost to taxpayers of $100,000), which is sitting in warehouses right now, ready to be distributed to starving children worldwide. DJT has nixed the distribution of the aid and destroyed USAID. CNN reported that a child dies every 15 seconds from malnutrition. Many more deaths are sure to occur because of Trump’s vengeful nature and the destruction of a program that gave the United States much good will internationally, while being a very small percentage of our budget ( the cost was primarily for distribution of the donated food and medicine).
Erica Orden at “Politico” wrote, “The firing is the latest episode to rock the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, formally known as the Southern District of New York. Earlier this year, the acting U.S. attorney
and several other prosecutors resigned in protest after the DOJ ordered the office to abandon the corruption prosecution of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.”
