Perhaps the top tiers of the DOJ are hearing the outrage.  Perhaps this is a ‘tamp down’ effort?

Regardless, of structural underpinning, the removal of a demonstrably, perhaps purposefully ineffective attorney from the Southern District of New York, who happens to be the daughter of one of the most political FBI Directors in history, was something very much needed.

According to Politico, Maurene Comey has been fired from the DOJ office.

NEW YORK – 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.

The reason for her firing was not immediately clear. She did not immediately respond to phone calls and an email seeking comment. Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment.

Comey, who had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade, prosecuted both Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. (read more)

The timing of her removal does not seem coincidental.
