Maurene Comey, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and is former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter, was fired Wednesday from her job in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, according to two people familiar with the matter who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

      Any lawyer would argue that a fair trial is not possible if these pages were published and the press ran multiple articles on the topic. They would be right, too. It’s shitty, but if we want these people to do time, publishing is not the best option.

        Whose lawyer would be arguing that?

        They already charged and convicted Maxwell. Espstein is dead. Prince Andrew has been shrugging off lawsuits since 2004.

        There is no trial for anyone left. There will not be justice. The best we can hope for is that the historical legacies of these people are stained for the rest of tjne.
