Here's Every Single Thing Trump Has Tweeted About James Comey Since He Was Fired

Trump's first mention on Twitter of Comey's firing was also a swipe at Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, who told Bloomberg prior to Trump's 2016 election victory that he didn't have confidence in the FBI director anymore.

As it became clear that the media — and the Democrats — were not responding well to Comey's firing, Trump began lashing out.

The "tapes" tweet, which brought Watergate to everyone's mind, is one of the most famous moments in Trump's Twitter non-bromance with Comey. It came after the New York Times reported that Trump had asked Comey for a loyalty pledge — which Trump vehemently denied.

This stream of tweets came after the Washington Post reported that Trump had given highly classified information to Russian officials, at a meeting that the Russian press was allowed to witness but that the American press was kept out of.

This was a busy day on Twitter for the president, starting out with the infamous "covfefe" tweet. While these tweets aren't directly centered around Comey, they are part of the president's work to pain Comey as a liar.

Comey testified in front of Congress on June 8, and on June 9, Trump responded on Twitter with what he evidently thought was the most important part of Comey's testimony: Comey had leaked details of a conversation he had with Trump to a friend, with the knowledge that the friend would pass it on to the press.

This tweet sparked confusion, as Trump's use of the word "prevalent" doesn't exactly make sense. Anonymous leaks also aren't necessarily illegal.

Trump distances himself from Richard Nixon in this case, as Nixon did make tapes.

Trump's repeated declarations that Comey's link was entirely illegal did not make that claim true.

This was a furious day of tweeting for the president, partly spurred by the Post report that Trump refers to, about Jeff Sessions discussing campaign matter and policy issues with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

After over a month of leaving Comey alone, Trump brought the FBI right back with a claim about Comey's handling of the Clinton email investigation.

It is indeed a fact that Comey drafted a statement saying that the FBI did not judge Clinton to be guilty of any crimes, but the Justice Department has not found reason to investigate Comey over this break with tradition.

Trump publicly admitted that he fired Comey in hopes that it would end the questions surrounding alleged collusion between his campaign and Russia, but this tweet storm is one piece of evidence that it didn't exactly turn out that way.

A common trope in Trump tweets — praising specific Fox News segments.

There's been a lot of talk lately about Trump's attempts to besmirch the reputation of the FBI, but here's a tweet showing that he started that effort much earlier.

He added that McCabe is "racing the clock to retire with full benefits." Thanks to Trump's Justice Department, McCabe would not win that race; he was fired only days before his retirement would have started.

Even when otherwise discussing former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Trump still found a few characters to squeeze in a mention of Comey.

Again, Trump brings up Comey's leaking while attacking a different person entirely — this time Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who has become a frequent Democratic commentator from the House Intelligence Committee.

Instead of using his own words, this time Trump tweeted the words of a Fox News commentator who agreed with him.

Again, Trump boosts the words of someone boosting him.

This tweet isn't an attack on Comey — instead, it's an attack on Trump's own attorney general, Jeff Sessions.

Trump welcomed former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe's firing and likely also sent searches for the definition of "sanctimonious" through the roof (for the record, Merriam-Webster defines it as "hypocritically pious or devout").

Here, Trump ignores an obvious reason that the Mueller probe was started: his firing of James Comey.

Comey has repeatedly claimed that he always made notes after meeting with Trump — which, apparently, Trump doesn't believe.

Here's another example of Trump attacking his own Justice Department and connecting it with Comey. He often appears alongside these other Trump bogeymen — like former attorney general Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and Hillary Clinton's email.

This tweet is inaccurate on several fronts — the U.S.-Russia relationship had deteriorated well before Trump took office, and the Trump-Russia investigation is headed up by Republicans.

As information about Comey's book began to trickle out, Trump virulently defended himself and his decision to fire Comey — and then the report on the reasons behind Andrew McCabe's firing sent him back to Twitter.

On Sunday, Trump attacked Comey on basically every imaginable front. All of this is a reaction to Comey's memoir, which contradicts numerous claims that Trump has made.

Trump and Comey both have their detractors — who will all decide for themselves which man to believe. Comey has made his feelings on the president clear in his book, whereas Trump, as you can see, decided to go with another medium to get across his feelings on Comey.
