On Sunday evening, former FBI director James Comey took to Twitter to share his hopes for the new year.
Comey wrote in the post, seemingly aimed at President Donald Trump: 'Here's hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values. Happy New Year, everybody.'
The President fired Comey back in May, and has said he was acting on the recommendation of Justice Department leaders who had faulted the FBI director for releasing 'derogatory information' about Hillary Clinton at the conclusion of the email server investigation months earlier.
Last Saturday, amid reports that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe - a frequent Trump target - intended to retire, the President also tweeted and took aim at Comey.
He wrote: 'How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin' James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?'
'The irony is most politicians would recognize that perpetuating silence post-firing would have been the most effective course,' Jacob Frenkel, a Washington defense lawyer and former prosecutor told the Associated Press.
In the event charges are brought or impeachment proceedings are begun, that kind of inconsistent messaging would present 'entertaining fodder for cross-examination.'

Here's hoping 2018 sees Comey land in prison where he belongs.
The participants of the Kenyanesian Usurpation know they are untouchable.
EVERYONE in the District of Corruption (Trump excepted) is up to their necks in that treason.
Careful James, your bias is showing. again.
It should, since 2017 has brought more ethical leadership than we experienced in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & especially 20016.
Ethical to him must mean overlooking his corruption and illegality.
“A good defense is a good offense.”
Pathetic.
Good post.
We will never understand what has happened to us without understanding the 12 years of Bushes.
The GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico is what happened to US.
Great post.
Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership to the FBI.
James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!
Comey, the Elites Fixer, Busted, Recieved Millions from Clintons
Here’s hoping 2018 brings hillary and posse a one way trip to gitmo.
Now that right there is some funny $hit. I don’t care who you are.
Comey wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the lip.
James Comey said....”’Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values. ..”
Pot calling kettle....
Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership to the FBI

Here is hoping “it only takes one” comes to pass. Just one big fish indicted put on trial and convicted will send them all in a tailspin and the American people will rejoice!
“We will never understand what has happened to us without understanding the 12 years of Bushes.”
I think the 8 years of W is the key to understanding just how this level of corruption can take hold here.
The first thing that W did was unilaterally declare a “New Tone” in D.C. And with that ‘new tone’, W would not investigate, much less hold accountable, anyone from the previous (Bill Clinton) administration, when there were HUGE things to investigate (giving the Chinese ICBM capability in exchange for campaign contributions, for starters).
Once it became clear that Republicans were unable, unwilling, or simply afraid to investigate, then it became MUCH EASIER to ratchet things up, to the point of wholesale corruption under Obama...and so they did. The Obama people simply had NO FEAR of being caught, much less prosecuted, considering what they got away with under Bush. Regarding Trump, he was going to lose, and lose big time anyway - so no problem with him - and, most likely, if he did somehow win, it would be made clear to him that investigating prior (particularly Democrat) administrations is simply not done in DC.
As to the ‘new tone’, it STILL blows my mind that we could elect someone as STUPID as Bush Jr. was. He should have figured out in week that the Democrats had no intention of abiding by this ‘new tone’ - it took Trump about 3 steps down the stairs in his hotel (in June 2015) to figure out who the Democrats are. To this day, I doubt anyone in the Bush family has ANY CLUE as to who they are and what they want to do to this country.
Amen!!
Firing Comey as an excellent first step toward ethical leadership.
Comey talking ethics??? That’s rich!
