"victims put trust in Maurene Comey... one of the few people who convinced them she would take on powerful people in search of justice. and Pam Bondi fired her, on Trump’s personal authority" @emptywheel.bsky.social for love of god read the whole thing. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/17/p...

Marcy speculates (justifiably I think) that Loomer is "force" behind firing Comey if we learned anything in months since Regime 2's mobsters took over, it's that maga is siloed in egotistical-bastard factions—many of whom HATE each other bag of rats, if you will. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/17/p...

never expected to speak up for someone with surname "Comey" but 2025 is that type of fucked-up year with mobsters attempting to run their asylum so... yea.

when considering implications of Maurene Comey's shitcanning on victims you should also read Marcy @emptywheel.bsky.social's piece about Donny losing (like bloodflow to those swollen cankles) his ability to shout "look over there!" and distract Beltway press www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/13/j...

Donny's "ability to command and direct attention is his superpower... one that's been failing him as his DOJ and FBI reversed course on past, fevered promises to disclose everything about Epstein scandal" @emptywheel.bsky.social www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/13/j...

important point and something I hadn't considered: Queens Mobster, when it finally sinks in (other than distracting people Donald is really not talented or bright, like in any way) that he's losing ability to shift media attention? the rapist will become even more "desperate despot" than he is now

dumb mobsters always confess to their lil' ops so Marcy @emptywheel.bsky.social's flagging Donny's "ill-conceived" screed is notable if for no other reason that he said Epstein is the "guy who never dies" dollface, how many times did u try and off him? www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/13/j...

important footnote via @emptywheel.bsky.social: either James Dennehy or Maurene Comey could give protected whistleblower statements to @durbin.senate.gov 🎩 @pegoidal.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/gtco...

UPDATE: oh really, Bondi wants a go at Ghislaine Maxwell? we all remember AG* Barr's unnatural "interest" in Epstein so just make sure Maxwell has a water tester, bodyguards and the CCTV footage is backed up in multiple places 🧢 @sonofathomp.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/valu...

we kicked off this thread with Marcy so for continuity's sake let's keep the ball rolling! (The Universe works in mysterious ways... @emptywheel.bsky.social's latest pinged my inbox just as I was writing the update.) www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/22/t...

you should read/bookmark Marcy @emptywheel.bsky.social's post if for no other reason than the excellent Epstein-Maxwell timeline, including all those "mob-offshoot" events like Barr's botched/clumsy firing of Berman www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/22/t...

always helps my pea brain to boil stuff down so here goes: Donny's associates are spastically (like involuntary leg-muscle spasms) trying to distract/justify/excuse/shake shiny keys and basically nothing is working.

something else to consider re #TheTimeline (cc @thetimeline.bsky.social): operation actually dates back to 2007-08, when Alex Acosta "Sweetheart Deal" kicked in infamous wrist-slap brokered by noted perv (allegedly *wink*) Dershowitz, bc of course bsky.app/profile/will...

last point: "Sweetheart Deal" is widely understood as performative leniency for Epstein. basically true, but it ALSO absolved any "unnamed potential co-conspirators" from prosecution 🧐 Donny's 2017 choice of Acosta for labor feels like mob boss rewarding a key player in the protection racket

Mama @stephaniemiller.bsky.social’s “please stop talking about that cake”! audio drop lives rent free in my head and no, we will NEVER stop talking about Donny’s pedo pal Epstein 🎩 @beserioususa.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/bese...
