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.'

Comey’s idea of “ethical leadership” is Hillary Clinton.
It’s inconceivable!
Most people wish for peace on earth and good will toward men
James Comey wishes the FBI insurance policy against the President will still pay off
‘Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership’
I posted this in his Twitter account: “It will because your corrupt ass was fired”
...I doubt anyone in the Bush family has ANY CLUE as to who they are and what they want to do to this country.
He Bushes had more than a clue about what was going on. They were okay with and could care less about America. Not bing but lip service from them concerning American values.
Comey, the FBI Director that claimed Hillary committed major federal crimes but then refused to submit her for prosecution, claims everyone else needs to be more ethical.
We should finish this Comey statement and all others with ...in the FBI. Then we arrive at the truth.
The Bush family are in on it and have been from the start.
Guy doesn’t know when to shut up.
Lol. Right on target.

Little Jimmy Comey talking about “ethical leadership”. ROTFL. President Trump is living in that unethical bastard’s head.
Yes, Comey, 2018 will be much better without your evil criminal leadership.
But that ain't going to happen.
>> Heres hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership to the FBI.
Get rid of Wray.
Bingo - finally someone has a clue. It really is quite amusing to read various assertions of how powerful the deep state is & why they are immune from prosecution. In reality, criminal psychopaths like Comey et al are merely demonstrating their adherence to a standard playbook. And one of the key chapters is how to manipulate the public in order to influence the outcome of potential legal jeopardy.
The problem most 'normal' people have (including FR) is they cannot really get their minds around the concept of social pathology. However, one of the absolute keystones for that personality type is to never, ever admit guilt and/or failure. It is a primary tenet to constantly and consistently exhort a 'positive' attitude. An outward/inward emotional response such as guilt or shame which affects 99% of the population has no bearing or influence on them.
This is why Trump must consider the military option. (That is, UCMJ for sedition/treason ie state sponsored terrorists, non-uniformed spies.) There's a reason the Allies held military tribunals after WWII. If the de-Nazification programs had been subject to civilian legal procedures, the same types of behaviors and public deflection techniques we see today would have been utilized.
This is ultimately going to come down to how serious Trump really is. If he doesn't pursue the (cold) civil war to conclusion, then the left will return with a vengeance when he is gone. As in any moral contest, the will to victory is of critical importance. We should articulate and lay out the case for the military option, and begin laying the groundwork for support among the conservative community.
Bush also introduced power sharingthe appointment of Democrats to lead some of agencies and head up committees.
Supposedly, this new tone was to lead to rational cooperation between the parties for the benefit of the nation. We know better now. They were the guests and America the Christmas Goose. And after 9/11, despite majorities in the House and Senate, Bush never met a spending bill he didnt like.
The results of the 2000 election were perhaps even more contentious than those in 2016, as Florida hung by a thread, electorally, and it took the the US Supreme Court to rule in favor of Bush over Gore and finaly begin the transition to the new administration.
The Clintons didnt go quietly, either. The White House was looted of silverware and small, concealable treasures of the residence that the Clintons returned later when those items were noticed to be missing. The administrative offices were trashed, with many a keyboard missing the letter W. At the inauguration, a photo captured Hillary whispering to George W. Everyone could guess what she was telling him, See ya in four, George! (It might have been in eight, but Obama won the minds of the DNC and the designated loser obliged him in 2008.)
2000 was the year the Republicans were fully neutralized as a party, despite successive wins through 2004. It wasnt until 2016 that the People pulled themselves out the predictable and nation-destroying cycle with Trumps election.
Trump needs to think about putting together a branch of DHS stuffed with loyalists and tasked to arrest domestic enemy traitors at all executive agencies, especially the FBI, CIA, etc.
Arrest these bastards and bring them in for questioning.
Right now Trump has nothing but the Marines under his control.
That ought to scare the hell out of normal Americans nationwide.
Good Morning, and Happy New Year. I totally agree, but you know when I made a very similar comment a week or so ago, you called me negative, on the verge of being seen as a nevertrumper, since I wasn't willing to claim that Trump had already "won." Of course that depends on the definition of winning, but glad to see you admitting we're nowhere near that final stage yet. Or at least it appears we now agree. I hope so, because we are not only fighting the left, but the true nevertrumpers disguised as his supporters. Cheers!
That is very good analysis, and also a good suggestion. Once the Mueller investigation concludes—if it ever does—Trump will have a freer hand. In the meantime he needs a workaround, and your idea is a good one.
Here’s hoping that Lucille “interviews” James Comey at great length in 2018...
