WEBVTT - Diddy and Epstein Prosecutor Fired!

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're folks. It is Thursday, July seventeenth, and the

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>lead prosecutor who brought the case against Sean Ditty Combs

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>has been fired. Forget this. Nobody thinks it has anything

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to do with the fact that she essentially lost that case.

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Welcome everybody to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>have been We followed that case so closely, the Ditty trial.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>We wake up, see the headlines Marine Komi has been fired,

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so we automatically obviously she's been top of mind for

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>three months now with this case. But it has nothing

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to do with Ditty.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>They're arguing, right, Well, it's funny because obviously that's where

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>we've heard her name most recently, most often. And yes,

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Diddy was acquitted of the most serious charges. So my mind,

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>fresh on top of my mind, was that she must

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 2>have been fired because of that. But when you look

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>at the headlines every single news outlet, they don't even

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>mention Didty. In the headlines they mentioned her father, who

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I actually, I'm going to admit I did not know.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>But now it makes a lot of sense that the

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 2>former FBI director James Comy is her father. Yes, that

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>same former FBI director who Trump cannot stand and who

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>cannot stand Trump. Do you think, well, maybe just you know,

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a few writings in the sand might have just illustrated

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>perhaps we can get into that there beef that has continued,

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and now he's actually being investigated, So we digress. But yes,

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the Epstein, the Epstein case. She was a lead prosecutor

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>in the Jeffrey Epstein case and the Gallaine Maxwell case.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>And she won the Glaine Maxwell case. We don't know

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>what would have happened with Epstein. Of course, he died

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>in prison by suicide, but the did He trial?

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Did he?

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Though? Did he?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm kidding, don't you start that stuff now?

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, I was just turning the pot. Sturn the pot.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>They said he died by suicide. Okay, but the did

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>He trial? This was a stinging defeat for that office,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and office that doesn't lose a lot. This was a

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>very high profile loss for them. Loss meaning he got

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>off on the most serious charges. But you look at

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that and they, I mean they had egg on their face.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>They looked bad. So when you think, like wow, it

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>almost made sense. Take away the Glain Maxwell, excuse me,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>take away the Epstein and the Komi stuff. But her Dad,

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>is that it's not supposed to be a fireable offense

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to lose a case.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I mean, if you're a prosecutor and you

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>have to fear losing your job each and every time

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you lose a case, that would be an untenable position

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to hold because you'd be in constant worry and under

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 2>constant threat that you were going to be fired.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>So that can't be the case.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Also, of note, which was confusing when we first heard

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>this this morning that she had been fired. There's still

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of work to be done in the prosecutor's office.

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 3>This case is not over.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Sentencing still has to take place, and then of course

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 2>there is going to be an appeal. So why not

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>have your prosecutor, you're one of your lead prosecutors, who

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 2>knows the case backwards and forwards, continue to see it through,

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>at least through SENI and seeing, but also with the

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 2>appeals that are absolutely.

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Sure to come.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>We know as recently as a couple I mean, who

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>knows how many days it's been, as of a couple

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, she was talking to the judge and submitting

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 1>paperwork having to do with ditty. She was very much

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>active in seeing this thing through. She's out of there.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Now what that does to that case, I don't know

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>what impact that could have. But for us to have

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>watched her and to have kept up with her and

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>kept up with that trial, our miles kind of dropped

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that the person who has been leading this charge and

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>still a lot of fighting, fighting and back and forth

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>between Diddy's lawyers and the prosecutors still to be done,

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and the person leading the charge is out of there.

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But all of that said, so, I don't see anywhere

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>where anybody is suggesting that her firing has anything to

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>do with Sean Diecombs.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>No. In fact, I haven't seen one or heard one

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>mention of it. They've just thrown out there oh yes,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, it was almost, oh, we forgot

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>to mention she was also the lead prosecutor in the

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>recent Ditty trial.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>It was not at the top.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Of anyone's minds in terms of why she possibly could

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>have been fired, and it hasn't been stated directly. No

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>one has said why she has been fired, although it

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>has been interesting reading so many of these articles about

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 2>why she was fired, and they did talk about a

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>memo that was accompanying her firing, and it was referring

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>to a power of the president, so it did certainly

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>imply so there was a memo, according to sources, that

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>she was being dismissed pursuant to Article two of the

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>US Constitution. Article two of the US Constitution is the

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>portion of the Constitution that lays out the president's powers.

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So one could infer people have been inferring that perhaps

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>this goes all the way up to President Trump.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>And look, the President has been on a firing spree

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>at the Justice Department since he came back into office

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>because so many the folks there was named Jack Smith,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>had investigations, a couple of investigations into President Trump before

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>he became president again, and I mean dozens of folks

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>at the Justice Department have been let go, including prosecutors,

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>people who worked on those investigations. So it's not odd

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>to see that the president has fired somebody from the

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. However, who this woman is, Maureen Comy. Yes,

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>you maybe only got to know her because of the

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Diddy trial, But folks, we assure you this woman is

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a stud in that office. She is a top prosecutor.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't get plucked and selected to try Diddy to

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>try Epstein and to try Gallaine Maxwell. If you don't

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>know what you're doing. She got those rolls. Those she

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>knows what she's doing, and they have a stellar record,

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>they say, winning record at the Southern District where she works.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, for ten years she's been working there. Harvard

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Law graduate, obviously knows what she's doing. Comes from a

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>family who is very well entrenched in politics and big

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>stories and certainly big cases. This is nothing that she

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>would have ever shied away from, and was seemingly not

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 2>just fit for the job, but very qualified for the job.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>This is a capable lady. Yes, this is a very

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>capable woman. And reminder at the trial, at least the

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>highlights frobes. You just reminded me a moment ago before

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we started recording. She handled a lot of the questioning

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of Jane. Who didn't Jane spend the most time on

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the stand.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>She was up there longer than Cassi, even Toura fine

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was she was up there longer than me. I was,

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>so yes, Jane I believe was the witness who testified

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the longest, and it did he trial.

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>So she handled some of that questioning and Rose is

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>not I mean, I don't want to say they put

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>all they weighed too much with this. But the last

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>voice that the jury heard before they went for deliberation

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>deliberations Maureen Comy, because she handled the closing rebuttal. She

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>was the last person to make an art argument to

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the jury, and.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 2>She actually took on a little bit of the snark

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>that we saw from the defense team, because yes, Mark Agnifhillo, Yes,

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>nailed his name finally after weeks and weeks of saying it.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Who's the guy that plays with Oklahoma City.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Thunder Shae.

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Shae something with gorgeous Shay.

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't sorry for the folks, but if you've kept

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>up with us, Robes has been working all season on

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Shay Gildos Alexander Alexander.

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I just won the tongue yet, No, I got Shay

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>right because I was calling him shy first, So Shae

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>gilgis Alexander. But yes, we digress talking about Mark agn

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, Mark Agnifillo in his closing arguments, if you remember,

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>was very theatrical, very animated, very sarcastic, uh cracking jokes

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and poking fun at the prosecution's case against Ditty, and

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.239
<v Speaker 2>it resonated with her and I'm sure the prosecuted prosecutor's office,

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>who had a fairly dry closing argument.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 3>She came up.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Marine Komi comes up then for the rebuttal, and she

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>starts getting animated, and she starts kind of mirroring a

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit of what we saw from Mark Agnaphillo.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>So she knew what to do and she brought it home.

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>They always say you save your best for last right,

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>so she yes, she was the final voice of the

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 2>prosecution for the ditty trial.

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And here we are. I don't think anyone was calling

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>for her to be fired. There wasn't some huge somebody

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>going off out there, some huge public outcry about she

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>should lose her job because she didn't get the convictions

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>for dating. Nobody was saying that. However, people have Rob's

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>been calling for her to be fired for a different reason,

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and that is because she handled the Jeffrey Epstein case.

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>She just happens to be tied up now in what

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump's tied up in, which is a Mago revolt that

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you all and seeing the President has gone

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>off on some of his supporters, even calling them past

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>supporters who are following for this Maga hoax excuse me

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>this Epstein hoax from the Democrat, so she now robes out.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people are speculating that she

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>was just so closely tied to that, and because she was,

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and because the president is dealing what he's dealing with

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>with his supporters, that he's trying to I don't know,

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily scapegoaterer, but kind of wiping the slate clean

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 1>to a certain degree of peak, just getting people out.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>So they're saying her connection to Epstein is one of

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the main reasons she's out of them.

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>So earlier this week, Politico actually referenced her in their

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 2>article about all of this, about the MAGA uproar folks

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>just not believing that there isn't an Epstein client list.

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 2>They believe there's a cover up. They believe that he

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>was murdered in prison. They believe he did not die

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 2>by suicide. But Maureen Comy had argued and has argued

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>against the disclosure of these investigative records that are in

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 2>the court but are sealed documents. Of course, the MAGA

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>folks want all of that unsealed. But it makes sense

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>why Maureene Comy would want these records sealed, because they

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>believe there's a lot of information in there, and of

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>course there is a lot of information in there that

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>should be private. We're talking about sexual assault victims, we're

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about minors. These are sensitive cases victims of sexual violence.

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So that is standard operating procedure. It's not about some

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 2>cover up to make sure the public never finds out

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>what's inside these cases. They're actually trying to protect victims.

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 2>And so they also said also of note, and why

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>she another reason why she might not want any of

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 2>these records being released is because Galainne Maxwell is likely

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 2>and is going it actually isn't likely, has already appealed

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.839
<v Speaker 2>her conviction, so this stuff is going to come back

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>up during the appeals process that she doesn't want made public.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Everything you said makes sense from a prosecutor standpoint, that's

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>going to impact my case. If I release all these

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.959
<v Speaker 1>documents unseal them. That actually makes sense. Nobody's going to

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>buy that. No, No, okay, I say conspiracy theorists. They

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>call themselves truth seekers, fine, and nobody is ever going

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to believe. I really do think you could open the

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Epstein room with all the files and let the whole

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>public go in, and nobody is still going to believe

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>anything other than what they believe, which is that he

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>was murdered. And there is a long list of influential

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>people out there that just exists.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Look, and the truth is, I think most people know

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>or a lot of people have heard about my hot

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>mic moment. And I had been frustrated at my former

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>network for not being able to put out these stories

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>about Jeffrey Epstein before this all came to light with

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the victims, Virginia.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 3>And you know, every one of these victims have very.

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Different experiences, and they told their truth to police, they

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>told their truth to the courts, and a lot of

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>these documents were sealed. So there has been a lot

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 2>there has been a major problem with transparency in the

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>years leading up to Epstein even being arrest and then

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.959
<v Speaker 2>put behind bars. But there there's a fair amount of skepticism,

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and I would say that it's a fair thing for

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks to be skeptical about what information

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 2>has gotten out because there were a lot of powerful

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>people implicated or names were brought up, and so then

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 2>to just say, oh, nope, there's no list, there's no

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 2>indication of any powerful person being on Epstein's computer or

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>on the payroll or being a part of any on

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>his planes. Like there's just it's hard to imagine that

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>there isn't some sort of Maybe there isn't a formal list,

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's hard to imagine there isn't some sort of

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 2>information that does have names on it.

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I get, I don't know. I mean, at this point,

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>nobody out trust and who do you believe? Who has

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>seen it? Who knows does it? Is it really just?

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean the President called it a hoax that by

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>call me her dad rather changed comy, and President Obama.

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 3>A hoax too, and Biden too to create.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Some just mindset put out there that it's some list

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and people you dangle it in front of them like

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.959
<v Speaker 1>a rabbit in front of great hand, and they're just

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna chaste and they're not gonna stop. And it's working

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.479
<v Speaker 1>actually if that's the case. But you talk about skepticism,

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>at what point do skepticism become go from healthy skepticism

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to unhealthy?

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 3>That's that's a fair point.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>At what point do you have to believe something or

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>stop something or I don't know that answer.

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Nothing pisses people off more though, I think in this

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>country and probably around the world to think that powerful

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 2>people with a lot of money can protect themselves no

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>matter what, and you're never gonna find out because they

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>have enough money and have enough power to protect not

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 2>just themselves, but they're other rich, powerful friends and it's

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 2>in us versus them situation. And this is how conspiracy

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>theories begin. And they might begin with truth, but then

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>they do sometimes balloon and become something larger than they

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 2>ever were meant to be. It's just it's tough to

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.199
<v Speaker 2>find out where the truth is, you know. I have

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>skepticism about all of this. I don't know where you stand,

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 2>but certainly I do with the interviews that I had

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>done and the research I had done for several years,

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I have skepticism.

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that.

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>So they might be truthful when they say there isn't

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 2>a client list, but it's hard for me to imagine

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>that there aren't documents, there isn't something, There wasn't something

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>they found they raided his homes that didn't have some

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 2>sort of connection to people who don't want their names

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 2>getting out.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>The idea there is that somebody is being protected and

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in some way, some powerful person is being protected in

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>some way, Maureen Comy might have had a hand in

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>some of that. Even if she isn't conspiring with people

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to do it, she's at least saying, we don't want

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>these documents to get out, and she has her reasons

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>for it, and so maybe she got caught up in

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>all that. Now that was one reason they're talking about.

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>The other reason her daddy.

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back everyone to this edition of Amy and TJ,

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>where we are talking about more Comy. She has been

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>fired from her job as a lead prosecutor in the

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Southern District of New York. She's been with the office

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 2>for ten years. She's the daughter of James Comy. She

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>was also a lead prosecutor in the Epstein case, in

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the Glene Maxwell case, and of course in the Sean

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Diddy Comb's case. And a lot of people are just

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out why why she was suddenly let

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>go on Wednesday after having all of that experience and

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>having had a stellar reputation. It's unclear right now, but

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks are pointing to her father, James Comy.

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we have to say that as of this recording,

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 1>at least, there has been no official word from anybody

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>explaining why but it sucks when your last name is Comy. Yeah,

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and you work in the Justice Department, which is under

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration of a president who absolutely hates your dad. Correct,

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>what is she supposed to do? James has been one

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of the top five public nemesis for sure Trump.

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>And it only got worse back in May when her father,

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>James Comy, decided to post something on social media on vacation.

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 3>He was at the beach.

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>He should just be enjoying his time off.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>That tells you a lot about this relationship. He's on

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the beach on vacation.

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Still he Trump, and he's arranging seashells. And he didn't

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 2>find them that way as he tried to say, he

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>just happened upon seashells.

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Did he say that he found him the way he said?

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>He just he was just saying, I want look what

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I found on the beach. I mean, he was probably

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 2>saying it with his tongue, tongue.

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 3>In his cheek.

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>But still, I mean, we all know he put those

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>shells in the formation of eight six four seven, eighty

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>six forty seven.

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 3>You can figure out it's not too hard.

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 2>The eighty six something is to kill something and forty seven,

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the number of Donald Trump.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 3>He's the forty seventh.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>The president states, he's saying, oh, I didn't mean that,

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't trying to incite violence, and look they went.

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I do believe that he probably was saying get rid

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 2>of forty seven, which also seems a little childish for

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 2>the former FBI director to be saying get rid of

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump with seashells that you know, so you can

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.679
<v Speaker 2>say it is silly, stupid mistake. But he actually is

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:27.199
<v Speaker 2>being investigated for a call to violence against like an

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>assassination attempt against President Trump. That's how seriously the Justice

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Department and the FBI said they were taking it.

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:38.680
<v Speaker 3>So, yes, he is currently under investigation by the Trump

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 3>administration for inciting violence against the president of the United States.

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Now his daughter just got fired.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>He said it was mad, that was med. So that

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of months ago. This goes back to

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>friaking twenty seventeen. Trump first term came into office. Call

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.360
<v Speaker 1>me Me was the FBI director who had been appointed by

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 1>President Obama. Before that, he was in the Justice Department

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 1>serving under George W.

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Bush.

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>So the guy has been around and has some experience.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump asked him for his loyalty. The way Comy tells

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>this story, they were at some event and Trump he

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>was Trump, and his people asked him they wanted him

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to be loyal. He was so disturbed by that interaction

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that he went and made like a record of it.

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>And then over the years he has been slowly putting

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>out stuff and exposing some of the things from behind

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the scenes. He's been highly critical of the President, and

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>the President eventually fired him. But that history goes back

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and forth. We're talking almost that's eight plus years that

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>these two have been going at it publicly in some way.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Comy wrote a book in where she called the president

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 1>ego driven at some point. So these two just don't

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.919
<v Speaker 1>like each other. And now the Justice Department, the FBI

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>questioned him about the Shales thing. But there's another investigation

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.080
<v Speaker 1>they've confirmed is going on, having to possibly do with Russia.

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That goes back to twenty sixteen.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>What are we These two don't like each Other's what

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So if Maureen Comy is working for a

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>guy who hates her dad, and now the Epstein thing

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.640
<v Speaker 1>comes up and Trump is taking all kinds of heat

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 1>for that, I got this woman here in the Justice

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>debarment who was tied to Epstein. I already don't like her, daddy,

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and here we are.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a win win for him.

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>He solved two problems by firing Maureen Kmy And that's

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 2>just the truth of it.

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>And we all know he's not funny. I'm sorry, I

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 1>know I laugh at the way you put that.

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Cor Obviously, this is awful.

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.679
<v Speaker 1>A woman lost her job. I'm pretty sure she was

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 1>passionate about the work she did and she worked really

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>really hard at it. And so to have it in

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>this way based on what not your performance, not something

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you did, not your record, not your you didn't even

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>make a misstep and say something stupid. This woman ain't

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 1>out there on TV every day.

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 3>She's not saying she kept her.

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Head down to the whole thing. She was not seeking publicity.

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to say that about her. You think about

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the Diddy trial, all the publicity seekers there were who

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>had different roles in there, even if they were like

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 2>just satellite roles. She you never heard her ever do anything.

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 2>So and look, the two of us, no more than anyone,

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to lose a job from a pr perspective,

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's exactly what's happening here, and it's you know,

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.199
<v Speaker 2>it made me very sad to see that someone who

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 2>was qualified and a hard worker and had a stellar

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 2>record losing her job because of politics and pr and

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 2>perception and maybe even just because of one man.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>And nothing she actually did. It's I don't know this

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>woman at all now, don't know anything about her background,

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing else. All I know is that she did her

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>job and today she's out of that job. Look, she's

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna be fine. I'm sure she's gonna who knows what

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this is going to mean for her down the road.

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:56.959
<v Speaker 1>It's just it sucks that this is where we are

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and this is what we do and a woman who

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know ropes prosecutors. I mean, we have to

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>support them, applaud them. What do we I mean? I still,

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>as much as we talk about the justice system, there

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 1>are plenty of people out there in prosecutor's offices doing

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>good work.

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and we.

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Need them to actually get bad people off the street.

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes. It's just a shame to think that this actually

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 2>sends a message to prosecutors everywhere. We've talked a lot

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 2>about Trump's influence on the media and what maybe now

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:32.879
<v Speaker 2>mainstream media networks are afraid to cover or are tailoring

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 2>what they cover out of fear of lawsuits or retribution

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.639
<v Speaker 2>or access or denied access. Same thing with the prosecutor's office.

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>That's also deeply concerning. If you're afraid you're going to

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 2>lose your job if you do something the executive branch

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.679
<v Speaker 2>doesn't like. That's a scary, scary thing. And this is

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 2>actually a little frightening when you take it in a

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>macro view. It's a little concerning about what this means

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 2>about the different arms of government and its influence on

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 2>media and on the justice side and all that.

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>We still have to wonder what it means for the

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>ditty case. Yes, look, there is a battle going on

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>in argument over how much time this man should have

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>been in prison. Does it make an impact and not

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:12.919
<v Speaker 1>have her a part of that.

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 3>It has to have an impact. It has to have

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 3>an impact.

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 2>She had to know that case backwards and forwards as

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 2>one of the lead prosecutors, one of the lead solicitors

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 2>in this.

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 3>So you know, we shall see.

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll be curious to see if the defense, if anyone

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 2>else has a comment about this firing and what it

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 2>may mean for the ditty trial going forward, but we

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.479
<v Speaker 2>will of course continue to cover all the ins and

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 2>outs leading up to sentencing and beyond, So thank you

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 2>for listening to us. As always, I'm Amy roboch On,

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.200
<v Speaker 2>behalf of my partner t J. Holmes.

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Have a great day, everybody,
