Comey’s Latest Post Triggers Concerns He’s Preparing an Insanity Defense, and a 2020 Run?
An odd photo that disgraced former FBI Director James Comey posted to Twitter on Saturday triggered concerns that he might be planning a presidential run in 2020.
The photo depicted Comey standing in the middle of a cornfield field in Iowa, a state that tends to attract a lot of presidential contenders because it holds the first contest of the presidential primary season.
So good to see new growth in Iowa and across the country. pic.twitter.com/3UeDofNVaC

Do not even joke about 2020. Not funny. You are insufferable. Please go take up knitting somewhere or find some woods to hike in.

The photo Comey tweeted from Iowa over the weekend was actually his second one. He had tweeted his first Iowa photo a day earlier.

So is he planning a run for the presidency or what? Most likely not. As noted by CNN contributor Susan Hennessey in a tweet Saturday, the former FBI director’s in-laws live in Iowa, ergo why he vacations there from time to time:
It's been reported hundreds of times at this point that Comey's wife is from Iowa; as such it's becoming ridiculous to assume every reference to Iowa is a hint at a campaign as opposed to just a guy visiting his in-laws. https://t.co/qxFZocU15w
