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.

Comey, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, was fired from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office amid a public uproar over the attorney general's decision not to release additional files in the case.

The daughter of James Comey worries the Justice Department giving her the boot “without reason” will thwart independent prosecutions.
