DOJ fires Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and a prosecutor in Sean Combs' and Ghislaine Maxwell's cases
NBC ^ | 07 156 2025 | Ryan J. Reilly, Jonathan Dienst, David Rohde and Zoë Richards

Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired by the Justice Department on Wednesday, according to four sources familiar with the matter.

It was not clear why. One of the sources said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York cited Article II of the Constitution, which establishes the executive power of the president.

Nick Biase, a spokesperson for the Southern District of New York, declined to comment.

Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs during his sex trafficking trial this year. She also played a role in the prosecution of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and the prosecution and conviction of his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

President Donald Trump is under intensifying political pressure from his MAGA base to release information related to the Epstein investigation. He has repeatedly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision last week to decline to release any Epstein-related documents.

FOUR authors wrote “It was not clear why.”

But we all know why.

There was no case to begin with. I urge everyone to really look at the facts of the case.

Better late than never. At least she is gone. Likely she will get a seven figure job at a Democratic law firm.

She’s not a high energy particle physicist, she’s a lawyer, which are a dime a dozen. Probably got her job through nepotism. Fire her ass.

Concerning lawyers, here's a Deep Thought™: If there were no plumbers, we'd still need plumbers. If there were no electricians, we'd still need them. If there were no bakers, firefighters, doctors etc. we'd still need them.

Add your own here:_______________________.

But, if there were no lawyers, no one would need one.

Alan is probably wrong on this thought because Trump would have done it instead of having his DOJ fight the appeal.

LOL! Now that Puffy Combs’ case was deliberately tanked to provide cover for him just like with Epstein, NOW Pam Blondie finally gets around to firing Maureen Comey which she should have done 6 months ago.
