She won't be the last. Eventually, criminals will get off scot-free as there will be too few prosecutors willing to bend the knee.

Let's be honest, SDNY has not been the paragon of virtue for the last 10 years.
Whatever her personal strengths & weaknesses, by virtue of the name, cases, & stances she shares w the ruling claque that she has been part of, the major label she wears now is ineffective. The way the DOJ under 1st Obama then Biden failed to take care of business, to keep us safe from tyrants...
She obviously has more courage than anyone in congress!
Very low bar though
#EpsteinCoverUp in plain sight
Bravo Maurene The American people deserve more like you
Have they said why she was fired? Was she actually fired because of Epstein? Has the DOJ said that’s why? Was she fired because Trump saw a recent news piece on the Sean Combs trial that pointed out a prosecutor was James Comeys daughter and because of *that* he said he wanted her gone?
Hope Rolling Stone offers her $1 million for in-depth interview
Or a million of us could offer a dollar each?
I could be wrong but knowing her family background, ethics will prevail. And her family should/would be proud, as should she.
I hope so- ethics means telling the truth when others are pushing lies.
Agreed
Wrongful termination suit?
Don’t you have to have a reason to fire someone besides she knows trump’s in the Epstein files?
Should be an inquiry into this.
A sad day
It’s a shame some of these law firms don’t give prosecutors a safe place to ride out the next year and a half… Or 3 1/2 years. So they don’t have to choose between a salary and healthcare…and their integrity.
Among other things, this woman was a prosecutor on the 2019 Jeffrey Epstein Case. Bet she knows stuff. Hey Dems! Wake the F%ck up.
The Dems are working within the law to try to prevent or relieve these things. They vote as a bloc in Congress but there aren't enough of them to carry the motion. What would you have them do? Dispatch goons disguised as law enforcement to murder people or set fire to their homes?
$100 says she was fired because of a computer flagging her last name
I wish just one of these people fired would come out and say it with their entire chests. The fascists are covering up a pedophilia ring and they dont want anyone who might get in their way.
Can she not sue for wrongful termination?
Class. Nothing but class.
“A fire of dedication to the truth itself” We have to reclaim this back
Trump is a tyrant
Can she talk now or is she under NDA agreements?
This should hang in the halls of Congress!
They have to prove cause. Maybe she should sue them.
Republicans love right-to-work. It knocks down so many discrimination lawsuits.
Yea, I have always called it - Right to Fire. They still need cause. There are other options, layoffs and force reduction (still a form of layoffs). Layoffs do cost more, because it affects the experience ratio for unemployment insurance.
Her replacement will be someone who lacks any principles hence is not constrained by principles.
But is constrained by Trump's will.
I hope she files a lawsuit against the administration.....soon..
It will be interesting to see if she does file suit.
💜👏👏👏

Sue them. Of course, Bondi won't know what to do with the papers. She'll put them in a binder.
Bravo to Maureen Comey!!! And she writes and carries a thought 💯 times better than tangerine Mussolini!
I do hope that she sues for wrongful dismissal.
With honour and integrity.
How many fucking warnings are we going to get? People have been giving warnings pre-2016. And here we aare.
What an odd thing to say. Arguing that she shouldn’t have written this public letter isn’t going to help anyone.
Actually, what i meant in my sometimes inarticulate way, it's that we've been warned for years and nothing has been done. Add her warning to the vast pile. Not that she shouldn't warn, but it's time there was some action.
They want you to lose hope because it’s the one thing they can’t actually take away from you, you must relinquish it. Don’t.
oops, another person with knowledge of the Epstein files. I wonder if the Trump administration intends to continue this purge. If the files were released, there would be no need for this continued chaos.
Sounds like a disgruntled earth-spirit. Possibly a minor bureau-demon. Needs a good calming tea & several offerings of polished stones. Definitely not a powerful enough warning for *my* concerns.
Maurene Comey's stellar career has been built on her ability to use words -- and you're right. She's doing the same thing here. This is a careful statement, but it is touching on what is happening inside the SDNY as well as elsewhere.
She may be different from her corrupt father, but it doesn’t matter. She should have acknowledged her knowledge of his evil deeds for all the country to know. The rest of the country doesn’t know everything happening in NYC. There is more to this country than the East Coast.
Didn’t a Comey announced an investigation into Clinton weeks before the 2016 election? I have ZERO sympathy for anyone named Comey tbh
Are you responsible for your father’s choices?
11 DAYS before the election. Yet the GOP blocked Obama’s Supreme Court pick because it was too close to the election that was 11 MONTHS away.
I wasn’t sure about the timing, thanks
Too late for warning. You blew it America.
Please alt text your images.
This ethos “without fear or favor” should have been followed by the Justice Department when the current sitting president tried to overturn the election and overthrow the government after the 2020 election!! They charged and convicted many people who have since been pardoned and released by the
Very person and others that instigated the January 6th insurrection! I call that FAVOR…or fear but the fact is that puts US right where WE are in time and space and it’s not a good place!!☝🏾🤬🤬
I know the US is different but fired without reason? Surely lawyer time?
She should go complain to her father.
Ms. Comey can thank her father for being fired. After all, he is responsible for getting the ball rolling to put Trump in office and making our lives miserable.
Yeah. It’s hard to forgive him for reopening the investigation into Clinton’s emails 11 days before the election to only say “huh. Still no laws broken” after Trump won.
She is smart. She is crafty. She is not a woman to mess with. She can give out some info now too.
Firing a highly competent employee without cause is a lawsuit She was fired by Trump, not the Whitehouse.
For every 1 prosecutor who quits or gets fired, trump has 3 Evil Boves to replace them. We're officially a shithole country.
eloquent
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You had plenty of characters to spell out "Southern District of New York." Please help those of us who will immediately start filling out unknown initials with random words. Like "secure digital," "security deposit," and "seminal discharge." See what you made me do?
"Without Fear or Favor" has been bulls*** for a very long time. That a lifelong criminal like Trump and his associates could operate without accountability is how we got into this mess in the first place. That the American public knew it was a lie played a role in his rise to power.
The institutionalists paved the way for American fascism. The fascists rose to power while they fecklessly dithered. They ushered in the rot and destruction of the very institutions that should have been protecting us. Defending the corrupt impotent husks... now weapons for the fascist regime.
Another Profile in Courage. 👍
We are definitely in a new phase......
All the more reason for her to leak the Epstein files.
Leak, I wish she would go on Joe Rogan and other podcasts and spill the whole story!!!
She won’t, but she could be subpoenaed and would presumably happily testify about them now she’s an ex-employee
Alas, the majority party decides who to subpoena.
I think they fired her to confiscate any and all info. She had. Pam will probably say it was because she didn't get full convictions on diddy
She just called him a tyrant pretty explicitly
Great letter. Unfortunately the only ones left at DOJ have fully embraced the corruption, the injustice, and the lies.
They purged the prosecutors for January 6, and now the prosecutors for Epstein. Trump's guilt and criminality is the reason.
Beautifully said. May she be an inspiration to all in the legal profession who still have integrity.
I feel like there have been warnings since 2015 and no one cares.
So powerful.
Need to make "without favor" a criminal offense when violated. "All [men] are created equal" must be accountable when Nazis demand adulation and special handling.
Beautifully written. Hopefully the book she writes is equally as eloquent.
The most destructive action taken thus far by the felon’s admin is the brain drain and the removal of experience in our most sacred institutions. Our judiciary and defense departments, and those who research and warn us have been decimated. Why? For the pleasure of a tyrant. A slow death 4 America.
Yea she’s not a hero; an SDNY prosecutor, who’s co-workers were Russian spies inside the FBI counter intel group she never noticed. She talks only after it matters, and she never prosecuted Epstein until too late, then failed to protect him in her custody. SHE FAILED. These are consequences
All those photos of Trump with Epstein, was likely taken in SDNY, Ms. Comey. But sure,tell me more about how your actions showed no favor. She has no idea how culpable she is. Just like dad!
@alt-text.bsky.social
Pretty sure she’s got the goods on Epstein files.
FEEL THE FEAR, AND DO IT ANYWAY. ONLY WAY FORWARD IS THROUGH.💪⚖️
Trump knew Epstein was having Comey followed. Whatever Comey knew, Trump fired him to silence him. Now Trump just did the same thing to Comey's daughter Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey at the height of his Epstein scandal. Wonder why🤔 What do the Comey's know🤔 bsky.app/profile/edhi...
