Donald Trump's decision to fire Maurene Comey was influenced by his escalating anxiety regarding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The firing occurred shortly after he publicly dismissed the scandal as a Democratic ploy and made unfounded accusations linking top Democrats to it. Ms. Comey's termination letter invoked Article II, which discusses presidential powers. This action highlighted the risk of an appearance of impropriety, connecting her dismissal to Trump's attempts to manage conspiracy theories related to Epstein. Moreover, the timing of her firing raised questions about its legitimacy.
Less than eight hours after proclaiming that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal was just some 'new SCAM' perpetrated by Democrats, about four days after he first attempted to float the wildly illogical claim that the Epstein 'Files [were] written by Obama,' DOJ fired Jim Comey's daughter, Maurene.
Ms. Comey was informed of her firing in a letter that cited Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers of the president.
After Donald Trump started to go nuts about Epstein, Ms. Comey was fired on Trump's own personal authority. It's certainly possible this SCOTUS would uphold his authority to do so, if sued.
Even ignoring the insanely stupid timing of Ms. Comey's termination, creating at least the appearance of a connection between Trump's failing attempts to squelch conspiracy theories and her firing.
