Former Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey provoked many Twitter users Sunday for wishing for more ethical leadership in the new year.
Heres hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values, Comey wrote in whats widely being interpreted as a shot at President Trump, who fired the director in May.
Heres hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values. Happy New Year, everybody.
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://twitter.com/Comey/status/947615038415794178
Lordy, how could you type that with a straight face? https://twitter.com/Comey/status/947615038415794178
Ethical leadership - you mean like being "extremely careless" instead of "grossly negligent?" https://twitter.com/Comey/status/947615038415794178
Comeys tweet comes after the FBI is under intense scrutiny for how it conducted the investigation of Hillary Clintons 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.
Strzok had been assigned to Robert Muellers special counsel probe, but has since been reassigned. (FoxNews.com)
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.
Worse than that....
LOL! Trump has Comey tweeting.
That dumbass is going down and he knows it.
I think he is trolling for attention. How can a person be such a moron, considering all that happened under his watch?
Comey’s definition of ethical leadership is to step aside, and let the inmates run the asylum.
I suspect he is an idiot.
The nerve of this guy...he needs to be made an example of.
LOL, I almost forgot about that.
Mookabooker belongs in prison along with his co conspirators.
Multimillion book deal? A payoff for sure.
Plus he doesn’t want to become an Arkancide.
> Further proof hes not leadership material.
Nah, it shows why he was “leadership material” under Obama.
But I've seen too much inaction...over the years.
He’s a weasel, Jim.
Yeah, Comey the ethical fixer, yep.
Go to jail Comey.
James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!
Comey, the Elites Fixer, Busted, Recieved Millions from Clintons
This...from an extremely “ethical” man with a wife, a few kids, and a mistress! What a hypocrite!
Couldn’t help jumping on the bandwagon - responded to his tweet with “We got a little more ethical and honest the day you were fired.....just sayin’”
