On July 16, former federal prosecutor and daughter of former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, Maurene Comey, was fired by the Justice Department.
While it was not made clear why she was fired, Article II of the Constitution, which references Presidential power, was cited. This was done to justify other firings as well. In all likelihood, she was likely fired as an act of political revenge against Comey’s father.
Her prosecutorial history may also offer leads into why she was fired. Comey was involved in the prosecution and conviction of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. She may very well have been terminated to cover up Trump’s connection with Epstein, especially as Trump’s MAGA base has devolved into infighting over the release of the Epstein files.
Comey also prosecuted sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs. Her wealth of experience regarding this type of crime is now lost to the boon of future and current sex trafficking criminals.
