Comey Goes Public On Twitter, Thanks Reinhold Niebuhr For Years Of 'Cover'

By NICOLE LAFOND Published NOVEMBER 6, 2017 10:57 AM

Former FBI Director James Comey is no longer hiding behind an American theologian and ethicist’s avatar on Twitter.

On Monday, Comey tweeted from his new Twitter handle, @Comey, saying he’s “glad to be part of the Twitterverse” and said he was “grateful to Reinhold for the cover these last few years.”




Comey has been on Twitter since February 2014, according to his profile, recently tweeting under the handle @FormerBu, and the name Reinhold Niebuhr, a famous theologian and ethicist best known for the “Serenity” prayer.

Comey has been slowly navigating his way back into the public sphere since President Donald Trump abruptly fired him not long after he confirmed his agency was investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

After almost single handedly handing Trump the election, then trying to be "ethical" about the FBI Russian investigation and getting fired by the guy you got elected...

Words kind of fail me.
