There’s a crazy new leftist conspiracy going on involving James Comey and Twitter. Claims that Comey uses the Twitter username Reinhold Niebuhr are spreading on left wing propaganda sites.

I have no idea why Reinhold Niebuhr is trending, but it probably can't be good news pic.twitter.com/6wzFoKxk2S

That led me to this tweet from the Twitter account of the Kenyon College basketball team, on which the younger Comey played as an undergraduate. It showed Comey teaching basketball to some schoolkids, and @-mentioned the now-dead Twitter account “@twittafuzz.” That account, if you search through its mentions, appears to have been previously owned by Brien Comey—if you believe the folks on Twitter congratulating @twittafuzz for his dad’s ascension to the head of the FBI.
The suggestions were algorithmically selected based on the account I requested to follow, a significant number of which bore the last name “Comey” (Patrice is his wife). Among the various Comeys, only two of the suggested accounts lacked both real names and profile photos. And only one of these had anywhere near the “nine followers” that James Comey claimed to have. That account was reinholdniebuhr.
It seems no one likes James Comey these days. But progressive liberal Democrat coming up with fake Twitter names like Reinhold Niebuhr now? It’s come to this.
