Daughter of former FBI snake James Comey has key role in P Diddy case

The team of all-female prosecutors handling rap mogul P Diddy’s case are reportedly being led by none other than former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter.

“Maurene Ryan Comey is set to lead the team of U.S. Attorneys from the vaunted Southern District of New York next week in court, when jury selection begins in Diddy’s sex trafficking trial,” TMZ reported last week.

She officially joined the team in December.

Besides being a Harvard Law School graduate, Comey was also one of the lead prosecutors responsible for securing a conviction against deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.

But the Maxwell conviction wasn’t even her first rodeo.

“[S]he’s taken on major cases before Maxwell’s trial, including the prosecution of Natalie Edwards, a self-proclaimed Treasury Department whistleblower; and Robert Hadden, a gynecologist accused of sexually abusing dozens of young women,” Business Insider notes.

She even served as one of the lead prosecutors against Epstein himself, or at least until he allegedly committed suicide.

Her current official role is that of the assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York. This is reportedly a very prestigious, hard-to-earn position.

“Prior to joining the SDNY office herself in 2015, Maurene Comey worked for a year as a clerk for Loretta Preska, who at the time was the chief judge at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York,” according to Business Insider.

“Preska oversees a long-running defamation case that Virginia Giuffre filed against Maxwell. Giuffre has accused both Maxwell and Epstein of sexual misconduct, and the civil lawsuit has led to numerous unsealed documents related to Epstein’s and Maxwell’s conduct,” the reporting continues.

Giuffre recently committed suicide.

Thanks in part to Comey’s work, Maxwell was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison three years ago.

“Today’s sentence holds Ghislaine Maxwell accountable for perpetrating heinous crimes against children,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement at the time. “This sentence sends a strong message that no one is above the law and it is never too late for justice.”

“We again express our gratitude to Epstein and Maxwell’s victims for their courage in coming forward, in testifying at trial, and in sharing their stories as part of today’s sentencing,” he added.

Comey also worked on the case of Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer who murdered a man over money and then “ruthlessly executed” three others who’d been “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences last year.

Tartaglione boasts his own link to Epstein.

“Tartaglione was briefly roommates with Epstein at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019, and was living with him when Epstein made his first suicide attempt in jail, on July 23,” according to Business Insider. “Tartaglione claimed to have helped Epstein after finding him unconscious. The jail was shut down [in 2021] after numerous scandals.”

A couple of months after his sentencing, Tartaglione stunningly claimed that, prior to Epstein’s suicide, he’d been offered a sweetheart plea deal in exchange for any incrimination information on current President Donald Trump.

“He [Epstein] said, ‘When you were a cop, what do you know about proffers and cooperating?’” Tartaglione later recalled to journalist Jessica Reed Kraus. “I said, ‘Jeff, it’s pretty simple, the prosecutors, you know, they caught a fish — you. They’re not gonna let that fish off the hook unless you give them a bigger fish.’”

“He [Epstein] said, ‘Yeah, well, that’s what they said.’ He said, ‘They told me they’d let me plead out something small, and I’ll do just a couple of years in a camp, if I can give them something on Trump to get him impeached,’” he added.

Tartaglione added that Epstein told him that he was considering “making stuff up” to save himself at Trump’s expense.
