People frequently groan when I respond to requests for predictions with "The only thing that I know *for certain* about the future is that it has not happened yet." Maureen Comey's firing from the SDNY after the Sean Combs verdicts but before sentencing shows the folly of confident predictions.

I like predictions from people who will acknowledge if they get them wrong. No biggie, after all, it is a prediction. I consider those who get 50-60% of them correct to be valuable, and yes, EXPERTS. Contrast this with experts who constantly make BAD predictions and retain their "expert status."

Based upon my training and experience as a former AUSA, it is *extremely* unusual for an AUSA who has passed her first three years to be "fired". Ordinarily, the most severe sanction imposed on an experienced AUSA is reassignment to a really unpleasant role, in hopes of forcing resignation.

This is very likely TACO 45 punishing her dad. Although the fact that she prosecuted Epstein and Maxwell seems to somehow cast suspicion on his current fuck-up.

Masterful timing for the revived connection back to Epstein

This certainly helps validate the raised eyebrows: “Two [sources] said that the letter said that Ms. Comey was being fired under Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers granted to the president.”

Bondi had no problem working with Dershowitz on Trump's impeachment defense team during his first presidency. "Dershowitz suggested that the age of consent should be 15 years old." www.thecut.com/2019/07/what...

Didn’t he have Diddy to the White House the last round? Or am I mixing up my perverts?

So, in a roundabout way, her dad fired her by throwing the 2016 election?
