Nice detective work. However I’m disappointed that Comey used a name and handle that could be easily tracked back to his past.

Boy, you would almost think Trump is doing all he can to screw over the people that voted for him. Maybe he doesn’t want to be re-elected in 2020 but doesn’t want to look like a quitter.
