Why Trump fired Maurine Comey? [View all]
In my opinion, it was about all the files she had in her possession in regards to the Epstein conviction. Did she take them with her when she left? If not, the Bondi DOJ will be looking to get possession of them.
Bondi and the FBI had possession of about 200 pages on Epstein, according to reports. However, there were thousands of pages at the SDNY, where Comey was their star prosecutor.
In my opinion, Trump has ordered Bondi to get possession of all the files on Epstein and they needed Comey out of the way, in order to do that. So they fired her.
Because you cannot destroy the files if you do not have possession of them. Bondi and Kash Patel realized they did not have possession of all those files. They were at the FBI offices in NYC.
My guess is that we should follow the trail to the SDNY as this story progresses.
