James Comey hints at presidential run, on April Fools' Day
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former FBI Director James Comey turned heads on Twitter in a new way Monday -- when he seemingly announced a White House run on April Fools' Day.
Comey, whom President Trump had fired in May 2017, tweeted a picture of himself in the middle of a road. The accompanying text: “I’m in. We need someone in the middle. #2020”
It's not clear exactly where the photo was taken, or when.

JAMES COMEY TWEETS FOREST PHOTO AFTER RUSSIA REPORT FINDINGS RELEASED
Comey has posted a string of tweets, many of them seemingly referring to President Trump, and many of them including photos of the former FBI boss in picturesque surroundings. Last month, after findings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation were released, Comey tweeted a photo of him in a forest of tall trees, with the caption: “So many questions.”

President Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, telling him in a brief letter that he could not “effectively lead” the bureau. Mueller's Russia probe began shortly afterward.
