Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from her job as a prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office.

Hmm. She’s been working there for years.
She must have refused to do his bidding, like say the whole case against Epstein was a hoax.
🤔
Maybe Jim can draft a memo.
She was fired for being the Jeffery Epstein prosecutor, and it's kinda disingenuous of you to even suggest her parentage is related.
Not like this was a retaliation (of course).
Epstein’s biggest defender strikes again. Why has the Trump administration done more for pedophiles and sex traffickers than law abiding Americans? That’s really weird, right?
No law person is tolerated under trump regime.
Why signing a #WithoutCause Termination Clause is not in your favor... #TheFelon is scared, even being wrapped in bubble pack as he is by Little Missy Bondi & the rest of his enablers/handlers. #SCOTUS approved that s€xual predator presidents can do #retaliationtermination.
Just in time?
PROTECT THIS WOMAN!
We need ANGRY 😡 and SAD 😢 reactions on this app.
😡😪
😡
That should remove all suspicion
Hasn’t she seen the files?
That's how nepotism works.
No surprise. Epstein and the orange criminal are both Mossad.
Sue
Fired for doing her job. And doing it exceptionally well.
Yet another lawsuit the American people are going to have to pay out for. Thanks, Trump, you impotent little dweeb.
This administration is so unAmerican
Surprised she wasn’t fired sooner.
OMG
Pretty obvious action, either because she is Comey’s daughter or because of her work on that case,
She was fired for her work prosecuting Maxwell and getting Epstein in jail. MAGA FELON doesn't like pedophiles being harassed and persecuted or held accountable.
I want to hear what SHE has to say about the Epstein Files… 🧐
I suspect she will be very careful and very professional if she says anything at all.
How about a tell all book?
Or tell all interview
Unless there is a massive NDA, they've likely performed an Olympic level self-own here. If anyone knows the details of what went on with Epstein, Combs & a number of other notorious criminals, it is this person. Something has triggered this activity from Trump in the last few days - what is it?
Bondi is burning bridges she may need!
The timing of this administration is so flawed. Why would you deliberately fire someone who worked on Epstein & Maxwell cases when the #1 PR problem is Epstein & Maxwell? Is she tomorrow’s hot guest on MSNBC?
Trump did this with his spiteful!
youtu.be/GNXn4MsdsLw?...
LOLOL...when you've lost the Bee, it's time to head for your peak oil bunker.
I'll never understand why Democrats didn't chase Epstein more aggressively. Would Bondi do the right thing?! They can't prosecute TACO in office anyway, even if incriminated.
Given Trump’s pettiness I am surprised she lasted this long.
Exactly what a guilty person would do.
The optics of this looks REALLY bad!
Really? (Insert extreme sarcasm here). You forgot some context. The repubs hate her father and will do, say and harm anyone related to him, just like the pathetic lying losers they are. All you are doing is remind us that politico has no professionalism, ethics or courage. Bravo! You failed AGAIN!
Of course they did😡
Trump is setting the stage to claim Maxwell was railroaded and pardon her so she’ll continue to keep her mouth shut.
Ya know...
I thought NY was a safe Dem hold?
Fed prosecutors report to dc.
#EpsteinCoverUp
Distraction.. it won’t work.
This is probably the one thing Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both like at the same time. Her dad only screwed over one of them, though.
Wow. He is such a f-ing bastard
The headline seems to undersell the notion that the American government is now aggressively defending the enslaving and sexual abuse of children.
Sounds politically motivated, doesn't it?
Well, THAT’s not at all suspicious. She probably saw the files. Right? Minutes are missing from the tape of Epstein’s cell when he died. trump is blaming Democrats for writing the non existent files. Totally normal stuff, right?
🤬
😡
Trump is in the Epstein files because he’s a pedophile punk ass bitch
Trump is out to destroy everything and everyone in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile the Democratic Party leaders are drooling, pretending they will win the next elections in another year. Trump will have them all in jails as soon as he can, then he will begin them dying.
Trump is absolutely delusional. Suggesting a lawyer in that role just made up files. And this is the thing that MAGAsses decide in their wake up call on Trump 🤦🏻♀️
Hope she lawyers up and winds up with a fat settlement check.
She should sue
Truly surprised it took the authoritarian pedophile this long. Best of luck to her and us all
I'm surprised she's still alive.
Because, so far anyway, she’s kept her mouth shut.
Going to be an interesting few days for her.
Pretty sure she can contest the firing and win the case.
She can blame her dad, iykyk! 🤬
State will grab her ❤️
Because they can. We are in an authoritarian universe now and half the folks don't know it.
Many of them actually wanted it.
They wanted a stern daddy. It was a mistake.
They are pathetic sheep
trumpism: aways petty, ever vengeful…
Perfect description
Can we get her to do a prime time interview with one of the networks? It’s time for someone to spill the beans.
USA entered a darker time than back then in McCarthyism witch hunt. Back then everybody could be labeled and persecuted as communist now as dem and Trump enemy
this is just lunacy
Alfredo Rodriguez, the butler who attempted to sell the black book, served more jail time than Epstein ! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
I feel bad for her, but not for her father. His bias caused us to lose Hillary Clinton as first female President of the United States, and cursed us with trump, a major loss to our country
Unless they have documentation that she failed at her job in some way, or that she was doing things illegal, she has a gigantic lawsuit on her hands. This is literally being fired for who your dad is and what amd who he supports, and doesn't support. It's a textbook case of a discrimination firing
So, I just learned a little more from Aaron Parnas over on threads. Pretty funny that they just fired her, because not only is she Comey's daughter, she was one of the lead prosecutors on the Epstein case and the Maxwell case. They were afraid she was going to access the records and spill the beans
When a lawyer at this level consistently produces “Nothingburgers”, they need to go back to chasing ambulances.
Nothing burgers? Epstein was awaiting trial while made unalived and Maxwell was convicted, ffs.
Unfortunately, this makes perfect sense from these pathetic losers!
That sounds 100% plausible
But…doesn’t she just know “the beans” and is now free to spill them to whomever she chooses?
Only if she wants to get disbarred.
What about anonymous leaks then?
I can see those coming from everywhere.
Why would she be disbarred, or sanctioned at all? Prosecutors aren’t bound by any attorney-client privilege. She can write a three-book series if she wants. The only caveat would be if she entered into an NDA when she was hired, but I’ve never seen one in a DA’s office.
Their client is the muni/state/gov. Not saying it’s good just pointing out, they file on behalf of whatever gov org they work for which is their client.
Your argument is like arguing that Don McGahn or Pat Cipillone were Trump’s lawyers. They were not. While your position apparently makes sense to you and would perhaps to other laymen, it’s incorrect
That’s not how it works. Your client can be any entity, including a government, but prosecutors don’t advise government. They prosecute on behalf of the state. And their work is public. Nothing gets filed in a criminal case that isn’t public without leave of court. Andrew Weissman wrote a book.
The evidence gathered in an investigation for a prosecutor gets admitted. It’s part of the public record. Grand jury proceedings are secret. Anyone (not just lawyers) who breaks the secrecy, except a grand juror (that happened in Fulton County) has broken the law.
The work they file in court cases is public. The investigations and material that don't make it into court cases might or might not ever become public, though some has to be shown to the defense. She might well have had a bunch of evidence that was blocked by DoJ's "don't investigate the boss."
Again, she doesn’t choose her cases, but a prosecutor of her status faced with evidence of sexual misconduct by Trump would quit if told that was off limits. All subpoenas are public. Investigative material comes in on the stand via the investigator on cross. I was a prosecutor.
To clarify… A client can be an organization, government entity, corporate entity, perhaps even a doorknob (that would be interesting to argue) etc. Regardless privilege still applies, so disbarment is a real possibility.
(doorknob doesn’t work it can’t invoke, still it’s funny to think about) 😏
If you filed papers of incorporation for said doorknob then it would be a person and would apply
Hmmm, funny how that works 🤔
Not that anyone could have copies of documents. Nah, that's just on TV.
She already knows all the beans
Definitely, they think firing her and not having access anymore somehow makes her forget what she read and experienced, lol
But she already had access to the records since she prosecuted the case. She knows what’s in them. This plot get more crazy every time I open this app..
Unfortunately I think you’re wrong on this. My bet is that she was an unclassified hire, meaning at will, whereas most government employees are in classified service which comes with a property right to your job.
She’s not in a protected class and she is likely not a civil servant. They can fire her for whatever reason they like. Prosecutors are being cleaned out at the DOJ like cobwebs just for cases they’ve done.
Indeed! But there is no one to enforce employment law, let alone constitutional law. Everyone in the regime is wholly-owned by the despot.
I agree with you but why are we assuming this administration does anything legally or properly? They’re overloading the courts and firing so many judges.
The best way to make sure details of the convicted felon ‘s pedophile activities are kept under wraps.
EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.EPSTEIN.
please print this urgent post and mail to the felon in the 🏠.
Plus one more EPSTEIN
❤️💯
Yeah, he’s gonna weave this whole Epstein fiasco into a tale making her the bogeyman scapegoat… she did it for the Democrats😝😝😝😝
I’m speechless at the moment… Why would you be going after a prosecutor just because her last name is Comey? This is not legal. It stinks 🤷🏽♀️it is a telltale signs that somebody is guilty somewhere of doing something wrong. they’re afraid of what she knows ..she worked on the Epstein case,its obviousl
It’s more about the Epstein thing, I believe. The fact that she’s Comey is just an added two fer. Seems another judge in the Virgin Islands, previously involved with an Epstein trial, just got canned as well. Plenty of dots to connect.
Why must they be so obvious?? . It’s like throwing mud in our face n forcing us to like it , or daring us to try n do something about it . It’s just too Bold ..We have never seen this kind of behavior from Any other administration, in my life, in our country..They are not planning on ever leaving..?
Nope, no chance in Hell. Trump even told his zombie hoard that they will “never have to vote again” and they actually cheered him for that.
Should have focused more on Hillary’s emails I guess
Of course- and Comey was a player who thought he had an advantage
Oh, Maureen, I hope you kept copies of everything.
I would put money on it.
Can we not get a damn whistle blower?!? Imagine being the hero that steals the Epstein files.
R 5 pm epublican scum operating!
Major criminal conspiracy case about to be unleashed against Deep state corruption.
Didn’t want to mention that she prosecuted Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell in your post, huh? Curious.
I'm surprised she made it this long.
Should we be shocked? Really!!
They can’t even keep track of all their lies anymore.
To fire the prosecutor that tried Epstein, Maxwell, and Combs is way out there. It smells of desperation and fear. Trump is acting guilty.
GOP = Gang of Pedophiles.
Hmm, sounds familiar. Oh, yea! This is how the Ba'ath party worked in Iraq. To be in the government you need to be in the ruling party.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein is the reason Maureen Comey was fired.
Revenge is a dish served cold. And the tour goes on.
Somebody doesn't like the name Comey! Was this for cause??
Yeah, 'cause he didn't like her name.
Not a surprise in today's climate of vitriol. However, it shows just how low the non-human, vile Trump cult will go. And they are not done yet. We must always keep close to mind this is all related to Project 2025, and they are, as I said, just getting started.
Hello everyone
thank goodness.
Predictable
Trump = toast + 💩
Until Democrats and America in general learns to speak and prosecute in terms of the Constitution in the Congress per sadpac.com this will continue. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Tell me you’re poorly trying to cover up your guilt by trying to cover it up- poorly. May want to turn off the neon sign above your head that says you’re a guilty pedophile while you’re at it. #fdt #releasethespsteinfiles
Autocracy purges those who threaten - it will continue
No surprise here... except it took so long. 😒
Trump is in the Diddy Files
Frankly stunned they’d left her to do her work without harassment until now.
More retaliation. So childish.
Not fascist at all, right?
Comey’s gutless POS father probably told Bondi to do it.
Amazing 😻
It's frankly amazing she lasted this long.
She’ll easily get hired elsewhere.
About that Instagram post, @politico.com, do better. Your framing is bullshit. “Trump allies saw as threatening” isn’t true. “Trump allies pretended to see as threatening for pro-fascist political purposes” is accurate. You’re helping shift the narrative their way. STOP.
Faaaark.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
She needs to head off to somewhere with no extradition treaty and spill the beans on Trump and all the other rich paedophiles. He's not alone in this, and the world needs to see someone rich get their comeuppance.
It won’t matter though. Trump really is above the law. Nothing ever sticks to him & nothing ever will. Can you seriously believe that anything will make his supporters change their minds about him?
You're right. He is, quite literally, bulletproof. Unfortunately.
It does matter. Just few years back I could not have imagined having a conversation about pedophilia of high government issues or Mossad secret child ring. Except with someone with questionable mental health. Now I can just walk into a bar and everyone will be like 'yea'. The window is moving.
Unfortunately there are very few countries with no extradition treaty with the U.S., and the ones that don’t have one you probably wouldn’t want to live there.
I know lots of people think Vietnam is beautiful, or if she’d prefer to live opulently, there’s always Brunei, and then there’s Montenegro with its Mediterranean coast and mountains. They don’t seem like such bad options.
She was prosecutor for the Epstein and Maxwell cases. This will go over well the MAGA conspiracy theorists. Trump keeps on digging his hole. Next up: Maxwell pardon.
Or Maxwell also dies mysteriously.
Bloody cameras turned off again. Sheesh. I can't be only one wondering if she says what she's told to she'll get a pardon in a week though.
It’s so blatant, like they figure nobody will do anything to stop them from the obvious.
well nobody has. not Congress, not SCOTUS.
Tricky to admit the US President is a nonce and a rapist. Time for shouty self named patriot melts to ask what they even understand. The rest of the world bit longer in the tooth and been at it for thousands of years before.
Yep. Our first time around dealing with this tyrant stuff, actually. So we’re a bit “unclear on the concept”.
Only post when I'm back from pub so bare with me but it's hard to understand from what you know about Trump from the previous term and surrounding incidents that you are somehow saying it was a surprise.
They’ll be using her to gin up more conspiracies. Guaranteed.
I hope she writes a book and tells us all about trumps dirty deeds
@marcelias.bsky.social got someone for you to hire. 👍😂
Well....that girl had TWO targets on her back.....her name & her work subject.
Petty, petty little man.
Maybe she should do some civil rights work and sue this f'ing government.
So disturbing
Gang leader targets those who brought his best pal pedophile Epstein to justice. In the latest episode of..
Kind of burying the lead, aren't you? Any particular case she worked on? Something high profile and currently in the news?
Trump is nothing more than scum and dirt bag and is pulling the strings on anyone he thinks is a threat to him. What a sorry excuse for a human he continues to be.
Damn Them!!!!!!
Only a matter of time before he pardons Maxwell.
She fucked up the diddy trial pretty badly by overreaching on the charges didn't she? Is there proof this was politically motivated?
Why would he fire the prosecutor who PROSECUTED EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL?
Man, it's going to take an investigative reporter willing to go into permanent hiding to get this all out.
Can we hire her dad for a minute just so we can experience firing him again?
More trump dirty work.
Get O'Donnell to interview her on MSNBC!!
Oooooooh, nice!
Prefer Jon Stewart
This should free her up to speak openly. Hope she doesn’t disappear.
She won't speak openly. She will probably work/cooperate behind the scenes. This is the best way for everyone.
Unless she wants to be disbarred, I don’t think she can speak openly about her cases.
Hopefully, she will do the right thing. I don’t know what that is. It depends on what the truth is.
She’s a prosecutor, a lawyer. I’m pretty sure she follows professional ethics. It would be unethical to release all the files, including the child pornography videos & all victims’ names.
I wouldn’t want that either, but if there are some pedophiles that are being protected then there’s another ethical question. My job is dealing with ethics questions every day. And I believe that almost every ethical question can be looked at in several different ways..
I’m sure she’ll do what she feels she can do legally. This was an issue with the Mueller report, as well. When a prosecutor will not or cannot put a person on trial, they generally won’t release information that would do their reputation harm, given the fact that they cannot defend themself.
Epstein-Gate! It has taken an official life form!
That is not helping their case. I wonder if they plan to disappear her.
In 26 we are going to do some firing 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Retribution by a scum administration.
once again Bondi and the DOJ show that nothing about them is about the law.....trump will pardon Maxwell to get an NDA and try to end this forever, and the children who were used and abused....well we are no longer a nation of laws
Gosh. If only there was a name for something like this. Weaponization? Of government? Cmon Politico, call it what it is.
Now she can talk about what she knows. She has all the Epstein receipts. It's funny how Trump and that crowd keep digging that hole deeper. Chickens 🐔 have come home to roost. Trump is probably in those files.
I don't think she will. For a number of reasons. First, she is probably too honorable. Secondly, she is a member of the Bar, and for that reason won't break confidentiality rules. Third, she's probably not done yet. She will probably share her files with her successor.
Well, I'm not so sure. Desperate times. They'll come out.
You're shocked? Seriously? You are shocked?
NFW
I would love to see the Judiciary Committee interview her and Gillane Maxwell.
Then use your power to get into private practice with Marc Elias and others to slay Tyrant Trump.
Sounds political - retribution- fight back 😎
We need a whistleblower here. Is that still protected status?
Retribution
Petty. Distraction
What about Bill Barr's daughter?
resist.bot/petitions/PV...
Dumb and dumber can't hold a candle to this Administration.
‘‘Twas surely gon be a roller coaster
www.pbs.org/newshour/nat... The pattern of firing justice seekers continues
But if, as the Trump people continue to contend, that there isn’t any “ there” there, why are they dispatching everyone connected in any way to Epstein? Very fishy, folks, very fishy indeed.
She knows secrets but I bet she is too ethical to get revenge.
Maureen knew too much as prosecutor. This is how he sets it up to start blaming her & others. All these loyalists are fucking morons to trust him when we know who he is & how he is. To him, EVERYONE is expendable & he will throw ANYONE under the bus to save his ass.
bsky.app/profile/natu...
Why are these guys still uh…standing?
Preemptive and strategic firing. Now, if she ever discloses incriminating facts regarding the Epstein case, Trump will discount it as "lies from an incompetent disgruntled former employee seeking revenge".
WHY WHY WHY @marcelias.bsky.social
If her daddy hadn’t fucked over the 2016 election this wouldn’t happened. So she can thank her traitorous daddy for this.
So you support her being fired for what her Dad did. Find little honor in that.
Her father helped trump.
You are making an assumption her firing has something to do with her dad and not the fact she prosecuted Epstein. The timing is very suspicious 🤨
The statement still stands as true whether or not it was because of the Epstein trial.
Ding, ding, DING! Not only suspicious, but spot on. It had nothing to do with her father, but everything to do with EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN!!!
Not nice. Sins of the father...
They never are
😵💫💙
Even if that were true, why is it justifiable to fire the daughter for something her father did?
Go ahead pour yourself another cup of that Kool-Aid!
Oh, please, move back to so-called Truth Social and spare us the conspiracy shit about Russia-2016. Trump is a Russian asset & despite obstruction, attacks on witnesses and perjury, Mueller found this out: I could go on all day with quotes from the Mueller report & others. Comey did his job too.
Agreed
It's the whole republican party. Here's part of my files on Blackburn:
Write a book, Maureen.
vindictive bastard
This was predictable. There is no one to enforce the Constitution, let alone employment law. Both the NLRB and the EEOC agencies are without a quorum and cannot engage in formal action. Even if they could, every agency & department is wholly-owned by the despot. She should courageously rail LOUDLY.
Firing people just frees them to talk, dumb, dumb.
Sometimes nepotism works negatively in guess

Will see how Trump/Bondi try to put the spin on this for their benefit.
As the president continues the retribution tour
The swamp just got a little lower.
I hope this doesn't work. But the way reality has been going, I'm not 100% sure.
Good!
That's a real deep comment, MAGA. Keep posting your support for that pedophile rapist president.
Show me your evidence.
Do a search, you idiot.
Can you be disbarred for doing just what the President and the Attorney General have both said they will do? I would not have thought so.
Who's going to do it? The GOP in Congress has no balls.
Welp, nothing to see here, move along
Let's hope Comey and Gym start an investigation.
@jamescomey.bsky.social
Pam Bond IS the DEEP STATE!
It’s all about revenge with trump. He’s a cruel, vengeful man with an ugly soul.
