The news that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and one of his aides have been indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for charges including conspiracy against the United States and money laundering has resulted in a lot of schadenfreude among denizens of Twitter. In perhaps the most telling instance of said behavior, former FBI director James Comey (whose firing lead to Mueller being named Special Counsel) subtweeted the White House with some well-timed shade from his quasi-secret account.
In the tweet in question, Comey quotes Reinhold Niebuhr, the American theologian, firm anti-Nazi, ethicist, and political commentator who inspired Comeys Twitter display name. Mans capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but mans inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary, he wrote. Last week, in revealing that he was behind the account, Comey pledged that he will try to tweet in useful ways.

...the hair and make-up were getting too severe. Probably, he's feeling less stress, too - which can make one look tense all the time.
