"There is probably nobody who knows more about what's in the Epstein files than Maurene Comey." [View all]

- Speculating about her firing on Nicole Wallace's show just now - Nobody in the federal government knows more about that case than she does. The panel seems to suspect her firing wasn't on account of who her father is (though that probably was a little extra prize). There's no logic to it; Trump might just want to make her a fall guy and deflect blame to satisfy MAGA. They don't think it will work, and that she's likely to contest her firing.

I think Maurene gives him a convenient connection to her father, someone else Ocelot II Jul 17 #6

I still don't understand this move? Thechefs2023 Jul 17 #7

By even referring to Trump she'd be violating confidentiality requirements - Ocelot II Jul 17 #8
