As Twitchy reported Friday, former FBI director James Comey posted a photo of himself in Ames, Iowa, posing next to the world’s largest concrete garden gnome. And as everyone in the beltway knows, the only reason to ever go to Iowa (or anywhere in flyover country) is to court voters. Was that photo Comey’s first hint at a 2020 presidential run?
If we assume the answer is “maybe,” then Saturday’s tweet from Iowa really does feel like a solid “testing the waters” post.
So good to see new growth in Iowa and across the country. pic.twitter.com/3UeDofNVaC

Comey had best not count on Kathy Griffin’s vote: the “comedian in exile” must be among those who believe it was Comey’s October surprise that cost Hillary Clinton the election in 2016.
No one likes you Comey…you have no base…don't waste your time…. https://t.co/I8H1yRU5RU

What? Liberals used to love Comey, before they hated him, and then loved him again when his book came out, and now hate him again now that the OIG report is out.
Oh god he’s running. https://t.co/oxtVQznk7y
