Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, told her former colleagues in an email that her sudden firing should “fuel the fire” of their work fighting abuses of power.

Maurene Comey, the Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor fired by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department — who went further than any of her peers in holding notorious sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted madame Ghislaine Maxwell to account — warned her longtime colleagues Thursday of a dark new era in which “fear is the tool of a tyrant.

Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs this year and played a role in the investigation and subsequent prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The decision to dismiss Comey was delivered as the Justice Department faces renewed scrutiny over its handling of the sex offender's case.
