One great thing about social media is that the vox populii’s reaction is instantaneous and in this case, indignant. Whomever made the decision to can Maurene Comey (daughter of James) and prosecutor in both the cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, it was a dumb move to make. A very dumb move to make. The irony here may be that Trump is desperate to move the narrative away from the Epstein files. He’s so desperate that he told a tall tale about Coca-Cola changing its formula back to real cane sugar, aka Mexican Coke, all at his behest. Coca-Cola went online saying that while they “appreciated his enthusiasm” they haven’t changed squat. Anyhow, back to firing Maurene Comey.

“This isn’t subtle. It’s not even slick. It’s pure autocratic revenge politics—where truth-tellers get purged and the guilty get promoted,” reads another post on Bluesky.
“This decision will haunt Trump and Bondi,” reads another post on X.
“Definitely raises no questions about Epstein. SURE,” Another Bluesky user posted.
“I guess it’s not a conspiracy if they are just going to be open about it,” reads another post on Bluesky.
It is pure autocratic revenge politics. You can’t get any purer and more undistilled. Almost six months in, July 20 marks six months of this seemingly eternal sentence in political hell.
