Former Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey provoked many Twitter users Sunday for wishing for “more ethical leadership” in the new year.
“Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values,” Comey wrote in what’s widely being interpreted as a shot at President Trump, who fired the director in May.
Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values. Happy New Year, everybody.— James Comey (@Comey) December 31, 2017
The backlash was swift.
Here is hoping 2018 the U.S. will have a clean, politically, FBI. 1 that will actually do their jobs. https://t.co/JRJQjT3CFO— David Weissman (@davidmweissman) January 1, 2018
Lordy, how could you type that with a straight face? https://t.co/Yr2zciO48S— Tom (@Tomvegas1) January 1, 2018
Ethical leadership - you mean like being "extremely careless" instead of "grossly negligent?" https://t.co/UJQvkjH1qI— Chicks On The Right (@chicksonright) January 1, 2018
Comey’s tweet comes after the FBI is under intense scrutiny for how it conducted the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, as well as the neutrality of top agency officials.
Over the last year, it was revealed Comey began drafting his July 2016 exoneration statement before key witnesses in the Clinton email investigation had been interviewed.
The inspector general review also is looking into whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe – whose wife has strong ties to the Democratic Party – should not have been involved in the investigation.
Other top FBI officials, who worked under Comey and were involved in the Russia investigation, have also come under scrutiny for anti-Trump messages.
Lawmakers have been alarmed by recently revealed texts from FBI official Peter Strzok, who called Trump an “idiot” and who referenced an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency.

Since being fired from the FBI, Comey has landed a multimillion-dollar book deal reflecting on his career, which is titled “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.”
“His book promises to take us inside those extraordinary moments in our history, showing us how these leaders have behaved under pressure,” Flatiron publisher and President Bob Miller said in a statement. “By doing so, Director Comey will give us unprecedented entry into the corridors of power, and a remarkable lesson in leadership itself.”
yep
Hoover loved our country.
FBI and IRS = weaponized by Obama...
Lincoln is the APEX.
Tragically funny, and serves to highlight the guiltless hypocrisy of one Mister Comey.
Confidential to Mister Comey...
"Ethical" people are not on the "ins" with the anti-American, corrupt-to-the-core and grossly "unethical" Clintons; and,
the title ...A Higher Loyalty makes an indelible (and accurate) statement about you that perhaps you did not intend.
.
Someone is getting immunity to rat out the whole bunch of them. My bet is Mueller is getting the deal in exchange for his role in Uranium 1. He won’t take down Comey. He will leave that to Ohr, McCabe and Strozk.
...The most corrupt FBI head Since J Edgar Hoover”
Hoover corrupt? You are corrupt. Hoover actually went after real criminals and kept politicians in line with all the shit he had on them....
Yep. he kept his job decades by spying on everyone. If you like that blackmail tactic he used for personal gain, then you are a fan of corruption. Get lost.
Comey had to check Webster for spelling and definition of ethics. He had/has no idea what it is!
“Response from Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit):
“Well, you were fired in 2017, so that’s a start”
Tru Dat!
On a good day. When the sun is shining.
Nope..
They stick together no matter who has to take the knife.
Comey has landed a multimillion-dollar book deal reflecting on his career, which is titled “A Higher Loyalty: My Life as a Soros Stooge Working to Destroy the USA.”
I’m lost.
BINGO! We have a winner!
“Comey has landed a multimillion-dollar book deal reflecting on his career, which is titled “A Higher Loyalty: My Life as a Soros Stooge Working to Destroy the USA.”
Excellent!
Comey and ethical in the same sentence..... priceless!
