0:15Michael Popok:The start of a new week, so we must have a new chapter in the Epstein pedophile scandal that's rocked the Trump administration, this time in the form of a new lawsuit. Who filed it? Maurene Comey. She's the daughter of the former FBI director for Donald Trump, James Comey, who now Donald Trump considers to be a political enemy. She got fired. She got canned, not because she's done a bad job for 20 years as a federal prosecutor at the highest level in New York, in the Southern District of New York. She got canned because she got loomered. Laura Loomer pointed her out, decided that she was some sort of liberal activist, despite the fact that nothing in her body of work says that, quite the opposite.

0:58Michael Popok:And she, Laura Loomer, leaned on Donald Trump until Donald Trump fired her. It's all there in the new lawsuit, which I'm posting on Legal AF Substack for you to read as well as I describe it here. And there's something that was left out of the lawsuit, but I'm going to fill in the blanks and I'm going to color inside the lines about the connection between Maureen Comey as the prosecutor for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and how they fired Maureen Comey in order to allow Todd Blanche, the number two in the Department of Justice for Donald Trump, to go in and give her an interview Ghislaine Maxwell without having the benefit of Maureen Comey, who knows everything about the case and would be able to successfully cross-examine Ghislaine Maxwell and show her for the liar that she is, but they fired Maureen Comey before they met with Ghislaine Maxwell.

1:53Michael Popok:I tie it all together for you right here on the Midas Touch Network on Legal AF, and thanks to all of you that helped us achieve our goal of crossing the 800 ,000 subscriber threshold for the Legal AF YouTube channel that I curate in collaboration with Midas Touch. We did it before our one-year anniversary, which is on Wednesday. Thank you for that. Let's get back to Maureen Comey and this new filing, alleging violations of the Fifth Amendment, the First Amendment, and the separation of powers of the Constitution. Let me give you what she has said out loud in her complaint, which has been filed in the Southern District of New York, the same district that she used to work for.

2:36Michael Popok:It says the paragraph one on page two in her preliminary statement, Plaintiff Maureen Comey was an exemplary, dedicated and highly decorated public servant who spent 10 years prosecuting crime and corruption without fear or favor as an assistant U.S. attorney. She was assigned to complex cases. She obtained criminal convictions, including of being given the task of prosecuting Sean Diddy Combs, P. Diddy, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She was promoted and honored. Despite that, on July 16th, she was fired. She was fired by an acting interim U.S. attorney named Jay Clayton, who's a golfing buddy of Donald Trump.

3:18Michael Popok:And when Maureen Comey, and this is in the complaint, said to him, why am I being fired? He said, I really can't tell you. It's decisions being made in Washington. Well, Maureen Comey knows enough to know that it all started with Donald Trump's ire against and his hatred for her father, James Comey. You know, here's an example where the sins of her father are being visited on an adult daughter. I got news for Donald Trump. Women have the right to vote. Women are their own people. They're no longer chattel owned like property by their husbands or their fathers. They're allowed to have their own independent careers.

3:58Michael Popok:And so on pages two through six of the complaint, she says that defendants have not given an explanation. rather paragraph five defendants fired Miss Comey solely and or substantially because her father is a former FBI director James Comey. And then they go over all the attacks that Donald Trump made against James Comey, calling him the worst FBI director in history. In fact, I give you a clip right now that that's actually part of the lawsuit. Here's the clip of Donald Trump attacking James Comey, James Comey and John Brennan now under criminal investigation related to the Trump Russia probe.

4:36Do you want to see these two guys behind bars? Well, I know nothing about it other than what I read today. But I will tell you, I think they're very dishonest people. I think they're crooked as hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. so whatever happens happens.

5:01Michael Popok:Now she then ties it to Laura Loomer and then eventually to Epstein.

She said, following Mr. Comey's social media posts and criticism of President Trump, people called for Ms. Comey's firing. Notable among those supporters is Laura Loomer, a social media influencer who has political influence in the Trump administration. President Trump has publicly stated, if you're Loomered, you're in big trouble.

6:49Michael Popok:That's the end of your career, in a sense. So he has offloaded and delegated to Laura Loomer to identify for him who he should fire in his administration. Here's what here's how she attacked. And this is all reproduced in the complaint. Here's how Laura Loomer attacked Maureen Comey, who effectively was defenseless to fire back because she's a public servant, because she's a prosecutor. And here's all the citations, always hiding behind, like any good coward, Laura Loomer, always hiding behind social media posts. On paragraph 64 of the complaint, Maureen Comey's complaint says the following about Loomer that on May 18th, Loomer, who has over 1.7 million followers on X, called for the firing of Ms.

7:41Michael Popok:Comey's liberal daughter and Democrat son-in-law, who had worked at the Southern District of New York. And this is also because there's a battle between Loomer and Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney who Loomer wants to get Bondi out. So Comey got caught up in that as well. Here's what has been recited and reproduced in the complaint on paragraph 64 and beyond. And you should also know that Loomer likes to call Pam Bondi Pam Blondie. So Pam Blondie is allowing James Comey's daughter and his son-in-law to work at the Trump DOJ. Did you know that Maureen Comey, the daughter of James Comey, serves as an assistant U.S.

8:21Michael Popok:attorney who heads the violent and organized crime unit? She has been with the Southern District since 2015. She's prosecuted high profile cases, including Epstein and Maxwell and Sean Diddy Combs. Her husband is Lucas Isaacaroff. He also works in the Trump DOJ. Donald Trump campaigned on draining the swamp. And now under Pam Blondie, James Comey is getting away with putting assassination hits on President Trump. This is when James Comey, if you remember, saw some somebody saw a photo of some seashells that said 8647, which they interpreted to mean to kill the president. And he reposted it on his social media.

9:06Michael Popok:But this continues. But Maureen Comey and Lucas need to be fired from the DOJ immediately. has Pam Blondie told President Trump that James Comey's daughter still works at the DOJ? Has anyone told Trump how on earth is something like this slipped through the cracks? And then she posted on her Facebook account. And then after Maureen Comey got canned, paragraph 67 of the complaint says that Loomer was celebrating the termination on X. Today, the DOJ fired Maureen Comey from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. She is the daughter of the former disgraced FBI director, James Comey.

9:44Michael Popok:This comes two months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondie to fire Comey's daughter and Comey's son-in-law. No word yet on whether he'll be fired. Plus one for Blondie today. And they then go on, talk about how this violates the Administrative Procedures Act because there's a civil service reform act that protects civil servants like U.S. attorneys and assistant U.S. attorneys. But here we have where Donald Trump may be hoisted on his own petard because he wrecked the independence of the Merit Systems Protection Board. He wrecked the independence of the National Labor Relations Board. So Merit Systems Protection Board is where Donald Trump told her, his DOJ told her, well, if you don't like your firing, you can take an appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

10:34Michael Popok:There's nobody on the Merit Systems Protection Board. He fired everybody. People retired haven't been replaced. There's only one person left, a Republican, on the Merit Systems Protection Board. There's no quorum. And as I said months ago, that he was going to let there be no quorum on the National Labor Relations Board, so it couldn't protect federal and state union workers. and he was going to let the Merit Systems Protection Board wither and die by not appointing anybody so it can't act without a quorum. And that's what's happened. So Maureen Comey argues, it's futile for me to file an appeal with the Merit Systems Protection Board.

11:11Michael Popok:There isn't a board. It doesn't exist anymore. He got rid of it and the United States Supreme Court let him. So now the chickens are coming home to roost. He may have destroyed the Merit Systems Protection Board, but then you can't point to it as an avenue for appeal if you fire somebody. So this is now, there's a 10 count complaint that's been filed. I'm going to find out soon who the judge is. I'll update you all on who the judge is that's going to be assigned to this case. I'll do that on Legal AF YouTube and on Legal AF Substack, where you'll also be able to get a copy of this. We'll put it up there today on Legal AF Substack.
