As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, James Comey admitted that he was secretly on Twitter and Instagram. In March, Gizmodo figured out which account he was operating in stealth….well not so stealth anymore.
The sleuth at Gizmodo, Ashley Feinberg, was tipped off by Comey’s own words regarding his Twitter and Instagram:
… I care deeply about privacy, treasure it. I have an Instagram account with nine followers. Nobody is getting in. They’re all immediate relatives and one daughter’s serious boyfriend. I let them in because they’re serious enough. I don’t want anybody looking at my photos. I treasure my privacy and security on the internet. My job is public safety.
After finding one of Comey’s sons on Instagram, a request was made to follow the account. Instagram then ‘suggests’ other people to follow based on an algorithm that tracks other people associated with this account…OOPS!
The name Reinhold Niebuhr popped up.
A quick Google search of Reinhold Niebuhr revealed:
By senior year, Comey was a double major in religion and chemistry, writing a senior thesis on theologianReinhold Niebuhr and televangelist Jerry Falwell and on his way to the University of Chicago Law School
The name Reinhold Niebuhr ultimately led the investigation to the Twitter account which is usually protected from public viewing.
Strange how the FBI Director can’t even cover his own tracks on social media…
On Wednesday afternoon, the Reinhold Niebuhr Twitter account, presumably run by James Comey sent out a very rare tweet. Earlier Wednesday morning President Trump blasted the former FBI Director in a series of tweets so many people were wondering if this was a secret message back to the President.
Trump blasted Comey in a tweetstorm:
Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017
…people not interviewed, including Clinton herself. Comey stated under oath that he didn’t do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017
As it has turned out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017
Was this a message back to Trump letting him know that he isn’t bothered?
Screenshot below just in case the Twitter account is put in ‘private mode’ or deleted. Comey tweeted, “Beautiful fall day at West Point. Lone kayaker on the Hudson.”

Comey’s confidant and longtime friend Benjamin Wittes tweeted about it too…
Look who’s tweeted again… https://t.co/7l7JkyHAx1
— Benjamin Wittes (@benjaminwittes) October 18, 2017
Wittes then said, “I’ve never confirmed the identity of the holder of this account and I’m not going to start now. I will say that won’t regret following it.”

People had many different reactions to Comey’s very rare tweet…

Ikr? This is so rare. Odd after the morning tweet storm and Sessions testifying.

Can you comment on the “Black Identity Extremist” designation? Was the Bureau considering this during your time?

It’s Comey. I remember the article outing his account.
