Comey takes apparent dig at Trump after president lashes out at CNN

Former FBI director James Comey has become a bit of a master at using Twitter to take digs at President Trump, and it appears he’s just tweeted another one.

“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.’ – Thomas Jefferson, Jan. 28, 1786,” Comey wrote in a tweet on Saturday.

His post came minutes after Trump lashed out at CNN.

“@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly,” Trump tweeted. “The outside world does not see the truth from them!”

This isn’t the first time Comey has made lightly veiled critiques of Trump’s actions.

Last week, the former FBI director made a somewhat subtle dig at Trump’s grievance about not getting more praise for the release of three UCLA basketball players from China.

“‘A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.’ Arnold H. Glasow (1905-1998),” Comey wrote on Twitter.
