So in that timeline, remember Trump was trying to. He was so. He's so in the dumps. His reputation is so destroyed that Trump actually thought that Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, would help rehabilitate his reputation. How low you must sink in order to believe that. And so a month before but I'm sure They were planning it because there were likely conversations between Todd Blanch, the deputy Attorney general, conducted the interview of Ghislaine Maxwell in her jail at the time in Florida, and David O. Marcus, who, who Katie Fang knows as well from working down in Miami. They were in discussions. I'm sure they know each other. They've been on podcast together about a pardon and getting her immunity. He had to have negotiated with David O. Marcus to get her immunity for talking to the government. Now, if I'm in the government and I didn't handle the trial and I don't know the facts of the case, this is, this is, this was a two month trial against Ghislaine Maxwell. Thousands and thousands and thousands of pages of documents and witness testimony. If I don't know that like the back of my hand, I bring in the trial lawyer who does to keep the witness honest. Because if she starts bullshitting, you want somebody in the room that can raise their hand or hit Blanche in the side or write on a piece of paper, she's lying. This is what really happened. This is what this witness said. This is what this evidence was presented to the jury, said, here's the exhibit. Here's, here's her signature, here's her email. He didn't want that. He wanted to go in intentionally, willfully blind, head firmly buried in sand. But you got to get rid of Maureen Comey to do it. So you fire her. Here's Katie Fang and me on my show the Intersection, kicking that concept around. Play it. Maureen Comey had a good. It was a good day for Comey.

And Maureen Comey convinced a federal judge that her being vindictively dismissed as a career apolitical prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. She was the one that brought Ghislaine Maxwell to justice.

C (13:07)

Prosecutor for Epstein.

D (13:08)

But she got lumered. Laura Loomer decided that she was the daughter of James Comey and she couldn't have her own career, and so she got fired.

C (13:16)

And then when she brought her vindictive

D (13:17)

prosecution, her vindictive dismissal case, Trump actually

C (13:22)

had the balls to say, oh, no,

D (13:24)

you should go through the Merit Systems Protection Board or the National Labor Relations Board. You mean the two entities you destroyed

C (13:31)

and there aren't any more?

E (13:33)

Well, what I thought was spectacular about Judge Furman's order and opinion today, greenlighting her case against the DOJ in that space, right in that federal court, was the intentionality behind Judge Furman writing all of the complimentary things about the sterling reputation of Maureen Comey because she fits the definition of being summarily dismissed. I mean, she literally was dismissed by way of an email that invoked the executive powers of the President to be able to allegedly do what he did. The thing that really gets me is twofold. One, I am grateful for that win for Maureen Comey. I think it opens the floodgates for other people who are also illegally terminated to chase down their justice, number one. Number two, I think it also, what it effectively does is reinforce the following, which is the timing of her termination speaks directly to the deployment of the of Todd Blanche to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell because he went less than a week after she was fired. And Maureen Comey was the lead trial prosecutor in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell in the criminal case of Jeffrey Epstein. And she knew those cases, she knew that evidence better than anybody. And she would have been the natural, logical person to send to do the limited immunity queen for a day meeting with Galen Maxwell because she would have known her bullshit meter would have been powerful, right? And she would have been able to say, you're lying, Glenn. I know what the evidence is, right? But they intentionally sent dumbass Blanche because Todd is the perfect patsy for it. Because he knows that if he goes in blind, he doesn't sit there and he can't gauge the truth. He's just going to sit there and like I said, do each other's nail and braid each other's hair is what they were doing. And then he said, oh, check the box. Met with her. Now she can go to Club 4 Fed. Which is why I like this illegal termination lawsuit. Because I think there's a colorable argument, Michael, that Comey's lawyers could explore the why right of it. And maybe there is an Epstein link to it. I think it exists. I think all roads are leading back to Epstein on this one.

C (16:03)

You and I have agreed from the

D (16:04)

very beginning she was the sacrificial lamb

C (16:06)

to get her out of the way so that when, as you said, when Blanche went and did the interview, he

D (16:12)

didn't have her as an earworm in

C (16:14)

his ear, saying she's lying to you because he didn't want to know if

D (16:17)

she was lying to him. Because that's not his purpose of going to interview the five year prosecutor for

C (16:22)

the case who knows every document like the back of her hand and every witness statement you don't bring to the meeting. So top line is Maureen Comey has a interesting employment litigation matter. Get down to the nitty gritty, the molecular level. Maureen Comey is the key because if she starts going after the Department of Justice where she worked for all the documents between the Department of Justice and the White House, between Trump and Todd Blanche and the rest about Ghislaine Maxwell, about Epstein, about Maureen Comey's role as the prosecutor of those two, about the rationale for her firing that went into it. Now we're litigating in open court, the Epstein scandal, right? See, as I said at the top, Trump maybe should worry less about James Comey and indicting him for some seashell conversation and more about Maureen Comey, who's now a partner at a great firm in Manhattan, Patterson Belknap, but wants her job back in the U.S. attorney's office and deserves it because of the link and the linkage to the Epstein scandal.
