As of this update, he is still not following Trump on Twitter.
Twitter's about to get even more interesting for Donald Trump.
After a Gizmodoarticle published in March prompted months of speculation as to whether or not former FBI Director James Comey has a secret Twitter account, the rumors have finally been put to rest.
Yes everyone, today it was revealed that Twitter user Reinhold Niebuhr is in fact Comey himself.
Gizmodoelicited the theory about Comey's account after writer Ashley Feinberg searched the social presence of the former FBI director's family members back in the spring. In her search, Feinberg followed an elaborate Instagram trail that led to a Twitter account for someone named "Reinhold Niebuhr."
Since the super sleuthing took place, the account's original handle, @projectexile7, was changed to @FormerBu and has been sporadically posting boring/soothing nature images of the Hudson River, historical landmarks in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and fields and migrating white pelicans in Iowa.
However, on Monday, Niebuhr tweeted a picture of Comey wearing running shoes, standing in the middle of an Iowa road, captioned, "Goodbye Iowa. On the road home. Gotta get back to writing. Will try to tweet in useful ways."

A few minutes after the photo was shared Lawfare editor Benjamin Wittes, a friend of Comey's who's publicly spoken about him in the past and was mentioned in the Gizmodo article, confirmed the account belongs to Comey. And Twitter went wild with analysis.

So Comey, are you trying to send us a message with those hot New Balance kicks? Are you RUNNING for office in the future? Twitter seems to think so.

Welp, now that we know for sure this is Comey we can all go back and give his first tweet (a freaking Anchormanmeme) the proper praise it deserves.
