ANY aspect of the investigation -- classified or not-- for national security reasons. Deep Patriot Act stuff. Sibel Edmonds type gag order.

Wonder if he's tempted to go the Snowden route?

The tweet refers to the unverified dossier, first published by BuzzFeed News, claiming Russia had compromising information about Trump. Among the most headline-grabbing allegations was a claim that Trump had hired Russian prostitutes to pee on a hotel bed in Moscow. Trump has denied the allegations.

Nevertheless, to some, the alleged Comey tweet apparently seemed like confirmation that Trump was compromised by the Russians — and that Comey knew how to drop a sick (and incriminating!) burn on his way out the door.

But the tweet is fake on many, many levels.

First of all, the tweet is 13 characters longer than Twitter's 140 character limit.
