www.bbc.com
It is not clear why Maurene Comey was removed from her job, but in a message to her former colleagues she notes "fear is the tool of a tyrant".

    Ah I didn’t realize she was also the prosecutor for the Sean Combs trial. As juicy as it is to think her firing is related to Epstein, it might also be because the prosecution failed against Diddy.

    He was found guilty of a couple of minor charges, but not guilty to the major sex trafficking and racketering charges. Kind of a big and public embarrassment for the DOJ.

      I thought it was weird that the first time I saw the story the headline was about the prosecutor in the Diddy trial being fired but then every time after that her name was included and it was the Epstein trial instead of Diddy’s.
