Now Comey, former FBI director and the man behind the initial investigation into Russian meddling of the 2016 election, seems to be hinting at some new power plays, saying he plans to use his newfound thumb-pushup abilities in "useful ways."
After being fired by President Trump in May of this year, It will be interesting to see if Comey plays a role in the political arena as a private citizen, especially as the investigation into Russian interference continues to heat up under the direction of special counsel Robert Mueller.
