FACT CHECK: Did James Comey Tweet About 'the Pee Tape' After Getting Fired?

Did James Comey Tweet About ‘the Pee Tape’ After Getting Fired?
A purported screenshot of a tweet sent by former FBI director James Comey is fake.

ORIGIN
Shortly after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on 9 May 2017, an image purportedly showing a screenshot of a tweet sent by Comey about “the pee tape” was widely circulated on social media:

The “pee tape” refers to a dossier which alleged, among other things, that Russia had a footage of Trump urinating on prostitutes. The existence of the tape was never confirmed so this Tweet, if it were real, would be major news.

Of course, this tweet is fake.

There are several aspects of this tweet indicating that it never appeared on Comey’s Twitter account. For instance, this image shows a relatively high retweet count (11,355), yet we were unable to uncover any tweets linking back to the original message. Also, Twitter has a 140-character limit for text tweets, yet this message clocks in at 153 characters.

Finally, James Comey does not have an official Twitter account. The former FBI director has said that he is “on Twitter now,” but whatever account he uses does not have the handle @JamesComey.

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Is Comey gonna go in the breakfast club talmbout’ “Lordy, I have tremendous amounts of respect for Beyoncé and Tahkaseesixtynine” then dab, and pull the hot sauce out of his wallet? At this point he is basically pandering to whoever is interviewing him, and trying to repair his image, it’s not working. I look at him as a useful tool to hopefully help bring trump down, but it made me a little sick to see him take pictures with hot nicks and tony stark, after how he instructed his org to systematically target and try to destroy BLM. Redemption is a funny thing and I just don’t fully trust Comey yet, probably never will, but again, I support any and all attempts to get this fukkface OUT OUT OUT
