4. Maybe. But the immediate question before us is whether Maurene Comey was fired

because she prosecuted Epstein and Maxwell and maybe someone is afraid she'll leak inconvenient information. She wouldn't do that because she seems like an ethical prosecutor who wouldn't leak confidential materials, but Trump and his minions assume everyone else is as unethical as they are. Firing her just because she's Comey's daughter seems like the sort of petty crap Trump does all the time, but I suspect her involvement in the Epstein/Maxwell cases is the main reason for it. She will be fine; she'll get a good job at a prestigious law firm for more money. The loss isn't hers, it's DoJ's.
