USA Epstein Prosecutor Fired: Maurene Comey Out in Sudden Move

Maurene Comey, a high-profile federal prosecutor in Manhattan, has been abruptly fired from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

 

Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, is known for her work in the notorious Jeffrey Epstein case and against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. Sources suggest her dismissal may be linked to tensions surrounding her father’s ongoing criticisms of the Trump administration.

 

James Comey, who is a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, is currently embroiled in multiple investigations. This includes a probe into alleged false statements made to Congress. Last May, Comey faced questioning from the Secret Service after sharing a cryptic social media post that some interpreted as a veiled threat, an interpretation he denies.

 

This unexpected shakeup coincides with mounting pressure on Trump to disclose more details concerning Epstein, the disgraced financier whose criminal case has captivated public interest. The Justice Department recently issued a memo denying the existence of an Epstein “client list,” and the Trump administration has declared no further documents will be released in this investigation.

 

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in his cell in 2019 while awaiting federal trial. The death of Jeffrey Epstein, ruled a suicide, sparked widespread speculation and conspiracy theories. Maurene Comey played a pivotal role as a lead prosecutor in both Epstein’s case and the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner, who is now serving a 20-year sentence, pending appeal.

 

Trump recently dismissed the Epstein controversy as “rubbish” on social media, labelling concerned supporters as “weaklings.” He also challenged the integrity of the federal Epstein investigation, claiming it was fabricated by the previous administrations under Comey, Obama, and Biden.

 

This firing follows a previous leadership upheaval in the US Attorney’s Office, when Danielle Sassoon resigned earlier this year amid pressures related to a case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

 

Neither the Southern District of New York nor the White House has provided comments on Comey’s dismissal, and enquiries to the Department of Justice remain unanswered. The incident underscores ongoing tensions within the justice system and the political landscape, with the Epstein saga showing no signs of fading from public interest.

C'mon Trump supporters! Want to hear your defense for the firing, which was without cause. Only "reason" I can see is with her father and prosecuting those Trump was friends with benefits sort of relationships

[FlorC]

Finally she got booted out. 

Should have been Jan 21st.

 

Bye bye coverup queen.

[spidermike007]

Trump is a very vindictive man and this is likely part of his ongoing purges. I suspect the actions required to oust her were done prior to the Epstein scandal surfacing, because keeping somebody in their employ is certainly a lot more effective at keeping them quiet then firing them.

 

Hopefully she will spill the beans and do an expose on the creepy and very guilty goon.

If you have evidence of such a shocking accusation, feel free to post it.

The putinisation of the US continues apace.

It amazes me how much like Thai politics US politics has become and how willingly complicit the public is.

At least thais get out on the streets and burn tires every once in a while.

[Purdey]

Maxwell's lawyers are probably bargaining right now to shorten her term if she spills the beans to Congress. Can't kill every prisoner.

There are protests pretty constantly in the US -- I was at one early this year, in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, over a thousand people for a fairly small town (and there were hopes that someone from Biden’s family would show up, given that Rehoboth is his summer home, but no such luck).

 

The problem is, apart from some anti-ICE activity, these protests aren’t exactly burning with passion -- they’re almost anodyne -- so I imagine the regime is mostly just letting them happen as a way for opponents to burn off steam, not seeing them as a threat (even if opponents form a growing majority of citizens nationwide). What will turn the tables is when Trump’s ardent supporters start to realize they’ve been had, and perhaps that’s starting to happen with this Epstein story; Trump himself is now openly calling his own supporters stupid, which of course is what he’s felt all along.

There's none so blind as those who cannot see (and hear).

Clearly you are supremely unaware of the ignorant anti-semites in many educational establishments across America who have been uttering their vile hatred in abundance for the last two years.

“Ignorant anti-semites” have been “uttering their vile hatred,” and more besides, for the past two *thousand* years. What on earth does this have to do with anything I wrote, or what anyone else has written in this thread?

 

Bible quotations with zero topical relevance are usually not a good idea.

This is quite a funny twist. Just today i heard a prerecorded tape left by virginia giuffre who supposedly committed suicide recently but left behind this tape saying she did not kill herself and has proof to be released soon with records of who was responsible and an active participant with the girls who taken to Epstein's island retreat and sold or given for play even at the age of 16. Naming Obama and Biden as active participants at the island.

[Emdog]

What the heck are you talking about?

On the serious side Vance the the vice president before the list was called out as a hoax

Any reliable source corroborating this, or is it just from the usual crappy sources, such as tweets and memes from SM?

The request was for a reliable source. Radar Online is known for publishing unfounded rumours without any form of fact-checking involved.

Take it as you will.... there are other sources... I guess the truth will eventually come out. Trump was named in the audio recording but not as a participant. She said Obama was seen many times with young boys. Many things in the audio I heard being played in China now. But you can research on your own or wait for Trump to release records of it. But I seriously think that some high ranking and well placed individuals will be named if ever more tapes are released as her audio recording claims they will as part of her dead mans switch becomes active.

There must at this point have been hundreds and hundreds (if not thousands) of articles published about Epstein and who was involved with him. No piece from a reliable source has ever linked Obama to Epstein. 

 

Of course, there have been stupid, baseless social media rumours  but all have been debunked.

 

 

As for waiting for Trump to release the records, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Not only that. The article actually doesn't name "Obama and Biden as active participants at the island.", as claimed.

Yes... and of course baseles and useless news on many occasions utilized by certain politicians to obstruct justice make you look the other way rather than at what they are doing. i never said anything about any of your replies. Yet, if Obama was there, I would think it would be kept secret anyway for national security reasons. You believe what you will. Personally I would not put it past any of the names i heard in the audio to do such things.

Really? You wouldn't put it past Barack Obama to have been an active participant in Epstein's underage sex-trafficking schemes? Do you have even the tiniest scintilla of evidence to support that contention?
