"We did not spy," he told reporters as he stretched for his morning yoga class. "We just observed and reported secretly without the subject's knowledge or consent."
"See, I've never considered that spying," he added as he formed the "downward dog" pose. "That's just kind of secret watching. It's definitely not the same thing. When you spy, you watch someone without their knowledge. When you secret-watch, you just kind of secretly watch them."
"If we redefined spying to include all secret watching, we would have to include all the watching of American citizens on a daily basis as spying, and that probably wouldn't be good for our public image."
He then asked reporters if they would take a picture of him looking pensively up at the trees.
The humor value of the Babylon Bee comes nowhere the nuisance of being taken in by a headline no matter how far into the story you get before you figure out it’s satire.

Snopes seriously Fact Checks Babylon Bee
That’s the sort of thing I would expect the Bee to WRITE.
Sometimes reality is way too close to satire, or vice versa.

Try not to think of it as prison Mr.former FBI director. It’s just treason repayment plan. Your ‘roomates’ John and James understand.
Comey: ‘We Did Not Spy-—We Just Observed And Reported Secretly Without The Subject’s Knowledge Or Consent’
We’re not going to hang you by the neck. We’re just going to slip this noose over your head and if the vertebra snap and you stop breathing, well that’s unintentional.
How stupid do you have to be to try and parse the language to prove your innocence while admitting to the crime? That 17th letter guy is right, “these people are stupid”.
Duh, I guess I got sucked in by the B.
I fully believed this came out of his mouth - then I saw babylonbee
Considering what the left comes out with today, the Bee gets it way too close to reality.
There have been other articles of their that I’m still not sure are satire.
OH NO HE DID NOT SAY THAT!!!
I think there is a yoga position that places a person’s head up their @$$, hog ties the legs and arms and places him in a rocking chair position. It’s called Rock the Headless Hog, I think. Comey will soon learn that position. Namaste
