Update at 3:05 p.m. ET: The Des Moines Register reports Comey was in Iowa for a family party.
Look who's talking.
Former FBI Director James Comey, who has cultivated a low public profile since his surprise firing last May, confirmed Monday that he is the author of a Twitter account that was previously anonymous — and signaled that he is going to rejoin the national conversation.
Comey tweeted an image of himself standing alone, along the roadside in Iowa, writing, "On the road home. Gotta get back to writing. Will try to tweet in useful ways."
*snip*
Earlier this year, a reporter for Gizmodo traced the Twitter account to Comey, after doing what she described as "four hours of sleuthing." The account, under the pseudonym "Reinhold Niebuhr," takes the name of a well-known theologian about whom Comey wrote an undergraduate thesis at the College of William & Mary.
Another clue: The account is now called @FormerBu, for former, um, bureau. Last week, the account posted two public tweets — an image of a kayaker at West Point, and a photo from Little Round Top, in Gettysburg, Pa., with the line, "Good place to think about leadership and values."
*snip*
Until Monday, however, Comey had not formally acknowledged he was the man behind the account.
True to form, the more creative minds on Twitter took things farther afield. "Darth," a prominent and playful figure on the social media site, noted his presence in Iowa — wearing running shoes — and added a Nike swoosh and the words, "he's running." A lot of political reporters took notice of those facts, too.

I’m sure he’ll be given thirty minutes a day if he can behave himself.
running....for the border?
Of course he is...he has dirt on the Clintons and Obama. And since none of Bernie ‘s tribe made the DNC Rules Committee
cut over the weekend, he’s got a reasonable shot.
He better run, before he gets indicted.
If it was physically possible my eyes would have rolled 180° reading this drama queen’s navel gazings

What a pseudonym. Comey fancies himself an intellectual. What a shock.
At least he took care to select an intellectual in good standing with the Left.
‘Niebuhr’s perspective had a great impact on many liberals, who came to support a “realist” foreign policy. He is a favorite thinker of Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, as well as John McCain.’

Looks like he’s his usual “sneak”.

I'm not a saint, but I don't have to think about leadership and values. They don't occupy the conceptual or intellectual zone, where the mind is capable of all sorts of sin and trickery. So, I'm not surprised he said this.
He should be running away from Bubba, his cellmate.
combey: useless sack of meat.
The Weasel is as the Weasel does.
“...under the pseudonym “Reinhold Niebuhr,” takes the name of a well-known theologian...”
“...an image of a kayaker at West Point, and a photo from Little Round Top, in Gettysburg, Pa., with the line, “Good place to think about leadership and values.”
Comey’s version of Weinstein’s trip to sex rehab. Don’t be fooled.
