Trump Goes Full Nixon; Fires Epstein Prosecutor

Saturday Night Massacre, here we go again.

Yes, Maurene Comey is the daughter of former FBI director and Trump nemesis Jim Comey but, as Politico noted, she had “worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade.” That means she was there for all or the vast majority of Donald Trump’s first term. She was also one of the lead prosecutors in the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell cases, according to The New York Times. Funny how Trump kept her on until now, when he's desperately trying to wriggle out of looking like he's covering up his appearance in the Epstein files by withholding them from the public.
