Ex-FBI Director James Comey Rants About Daughter’s Termination from the DOJ
Former FBI Director James Comey went on an unhinged rant after his daughter Maurene was fired from her position as a federal prosecutor for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). While it was unclear why she was fired, they both blamed President Trump for the termination.
During the tirade posted on his Substack page, Comey characterized his daughter and other Department of Justice employees as trusted and impartial outsiders who were not affiliated with any political party.
“They’re believed because, when they speak, they aren’t seen as Republicans or Democrats,” he said. “Instead, they’re seen as something separate and apart in American life—a group of people just trying to do the right thing.”
James Comey has posted a video in response to his daughter Maurene getting correctly fired from the SDNY.
James is clearly rattled now that he sees his past crimes, and those of his family, are resulting in accountability.
Good. The Comeys aren’t above the law.

However, Comey’s daughter immediately contradicted his words by attacking the president using the classic jabs that the left has repeatedly used to smear Trump.
“Yesterday was unexpectedly my last day in the office. I was summarily fired via memo from Main Justice that did not give a reason for my termination,” she wrote, according to a letter her father read.
“But we have entered a new phase where without fear may be the challenge. If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.”
Comey echoed his daughter’s sentiments, directly attacking Trump and other DOJ top officials, accusing them of trying to turn the Department of Justice into Trump’s empire.
“Trump and the hacks who lead the Department of Justice are hammering at the dam day after day, trying to turn it into just another gold-leaf-covered Trump subsidiary.”
“Our best hope is that good people will stay and do what Maureen asked—have the courage to do the right thing, always. You may get fired for acting that way, but there’s honor in that—and nothing but disgrace for those who don’t stand up.”
During his campaigns, Trump had promised to deweaponize the Department of Justice and the FBI to ensure they focus on fighting crime instead of persecuting political enemies.
Over 35 DOJ staff members who worked with disgraced former Special Counsel Jack Smith have lost their jobs, and 15 more may be terminated. They include two prosecutors in North Carolina and Florida.
Some vocal conservative voices fighting for the release of Epstein files, including Laura Loomer, had asked AG Bondi to fire Maureen, whose husband, Lucas Issacharoff, is reportedly a Trump-hating DOJ employee.
According to Loomer, Comey’s son-in-law works as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York. He previously worked with the law firm Susman Godfrey LLP, which President Trump has blacklisted for allegedly participating in anti-Trump lawfare.
“This comes 2 months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondi to fire Comey’s daughter and Comey’s son in law from the DOJ,” Loomer posted on X.

Meanwhile, Comey is under investigation for a bogus report linking Trump to the Russian election interference hoax and a cryptic Instagram post that seemed to call for the assassination of President Trump.
