Is it a surprise that Jim Comey’s daughter Maurene is in the middle of the Epstein case?
Sunday’s announcement of the Epstein files was a shocker. On Sunday, over the weekend a report was released exonerating most all of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes related to the trafficking of young children for the rich and famous. The initial reaction was that this was not an official DOJ document.
Axios reported:
President Trump‘s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.
- The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and “enhanced” versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.
- The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.
Why it matters: The findings represent the first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein’s activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI’s top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.
- As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI’s director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.
- Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.
- The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. (Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.)
Zoom in: According to the memo, investigators closely examined footage of Epstein’s Manhattan prison cell between around 10:40pm on Aug. 9, 2019, when Epstein was locked in his cell, and around 6:30am the next day, when he was found unresponsive.
-
The footage, which was reviewed by Axios but couldn’t be verified independently, showed no one entering the area, the administration said.
-
“The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability,” the memo says.
-
Investigators found “no incriminating ‘client list’ ” of Epstein’s, “no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals,” and no “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo adds.
This was shocking news. One response from Robby Starbuck said much:
This new DOJ memo admits there are countless victims of Epstein on video but no client list or evidence of other rapists they can charge. Oh it claims Epstein wasn’t using videos as blackmail.
So Epstein was trafficking these underage girls to nobody? Is Pam Bondi serious? No one who has followed this for years believes that everyone who went to Epstein’s island was just there to catch some waves and relax. Again, NO ONE believes this for very good reason.
What Epstein and his ilk did was pure evil and this memo attempts to just close the book on it like there’s no one else involved. I can’t pretend that’s okay. The victims deserve better and the public deserves better.
Bondi just made it all worse with this memo. What a terrible, terrible idea it was to write this memo. It’s also incredibly insulting to our intelligence.
How do the rest of you feel about it?

To assist overall assessment, the DOJ released a video from outside Epstein’s cell on the night he was found dead and it was missing a minute. (The Gateway Pundit also reported this.)

There was no mention of the FBI Chief in New York who was let go earlier this year for not providing Epstein files to the DOJ.

What also isn’t mentioned is that it was initially reported that the footage from outside of Epstein’s cell on the night of his death was missing. In December of 2019 The Daily Mail reported that the footage was found.
Who was involved in reporting for the DOJ that the footage was missing and then found?… None other than Jim Comey’s daughter Maurene Comey. (emphasis added below)
The missing surveillance footage of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide attempt in jail has been found, one day after prosecutors claimed it mysteriously vanished from the prison.
On Thursday Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey told federal judge Kenneth Karas in a court filing that the video was found.
‘Earlier today, the Government confirmed with [Metropolitan Correctional Center] staff that the Video was preserved by MCC staff,’ the statement said as per the New York Post.
Yesterday the mystery into Epstein’s death seemed to deepen when Swergold stood up in court and claimed the footage hadn’t been retained by the facility.
That video in question was footage from outside Epstein’s cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City when he attempted to take his own life on July 23.
In that attempt Epstein was found with neck injuries after he apparently tried to hang himself and was moved to suicide watch at the prison.
Two weeks later Epstein succeeded in killing himself in his cell on August 10.
On Wednesday Swergold said: ‘It is our understanding that the video no longer exists…it was not preserved.’
A judge told prosecutors Wednesday to look further as to how the footage disappeared.
Epstein’s cellmate at the time Nick Tartaglione, who was awaiting trial for four counts of murder, had formally requested that video be preserved two days after the suicide attempt as evidence.
‘I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,’ Tartaglione’s lawyer Bruce Barket said Wednesday.
On Thursday upon the discovery of the footage, he said, ‘We look forward to seeing it.’
Tartaglione, a former cop, was accused of attacking Epstein the night of July 23. But he claimed he tried to save Epstein from his suicide attempt.
‘We want to be sure that all the evidence is preserved to show that Nick behaved appropriately and even admirably that evening,’ Barket said in court in Wednesday,
‘We asked for all the video and photographic evidence to be preserved, specifically this surveillance video. Now it’s gone,’ he added.
Barket noted that Tartgalione has still not been questioned about Epstein’s suicide.
Maurene Comey was also involved in the P. Diddy case where he was not charged with any of the sex trafficking charges against him.
Who would have guessed that a Comey was involved in this mess?
