Former FBI Director James Comey made a rare Twitter comment Monday in a possible response to the indictments against former Trump campaign officials in the special counsel’s Russia investigation.
Comey goes by “Reinhold Niebuhr” on Twitter, the name of an American theologian about whom he wrote his thesis. President Trump fired Comey in May, later telling NBC News that the Russia probe was part of his reason for doing so.
Monday, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team announced the first charges from his investigation.
“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.” Reinhold Niebuhr
