Former FBI Director James Comey has confirmed he’s been using a secret Twitter account.
Gizmodo speculated that Comey was behind the account of Reinhold Niebuhr, but there was no confirmation until the fired director posted a picture of himself standing in the middle of a road, peering across cornfields.
Goodbye Iowa. On the road home. Gotta get back to writing. Will try to tweet in useful ways. pic.twitter.com/DCbu3Yvqt3

A friend of Comey’s confirmed the account belonged to the former FBI chief.
Ok, in light of this latest tweet, I will confirm that @FormerBu is, in fact, James Comey himself. https://t.co/6QbhOG7Qzp

Comey, who is writing a book, tweeted on Friday that he was happy to be back in the Hawkeye State.
