Daughter of ex-FBI director James Comey, a Trump foe, was dismissed in 2025 despite her work being widely praised
Maurene Comey, the daughter of the former FBI director James Comey, was unlawfully fired from her job as a federal prosecutor in New York last year, a federal judge ruled on Monday.
Judge Jesse Furman said that Comey, who was an assistant US attorney for a decade, was illegally fired in July 2025 despite her work on some of the nation’s highest-profile cases and consistently receiving “the highest accolades from supervisors and peers alike”.
After her firing, Comey sued the justice department and others, saying her termination violated the constitutional separation of powers, the first amendment and the due process clause of the fifth amendment.
I agree, but to be clear, “need to do the same thing” means that they need to stop worrying about exercising power for good, to a corollary degree that Trump, Miller and the rest of these psychopaths don’t worry about using power for evil.
I don’t want democrats to normalize political lawfare, obviously. And they don’t have to to put all of these people in jail. Because unlike their targets, Trump and co themselves are actually criminals, and that difference makes all the difference.
