Former FBI director James Comey offered a cryptic message on social media Saturday, saying the truth “cannot be long hidden” shortly after President Trump said he fired former national security adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI.

“Beautiful Long Island Sound from Westport, CT,” Comey wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. “To paraphrase the Buddha — Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun; the moon; and the truth.”

The former FBI director, who Trump fired from his post in May, has taken to social media in recent days in what has been viewed as an apparent reaction to developments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election interference.

After Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials, Comey posted a Bible verse about justice on Twitter and Instagram.

1. time for Comey to come clean too

WHY did he help install that treasonous piece of SHIT into the White House?

[still_one]

3. Exactly. Comey is not particularly a stand up guy himself

[ananda]

9. Exactly.

Lot of those lately.

[JI7]

5. He gave in to pressure from right wing leaning types

And thought Hillary would win anyways.

[Skittles]

6. he said that?

[JI7]

7. No. He won't admit it since it makes him appear weak

[Skittles]

10. he appears weak when he doesn't admit it

[Puzzledtraveller]

17. Yeah

The love him, hate him, and love him routine only serves Comey. Thinking that he can make right again by hanging Trump out to dry is foolish and unfounded in my opinion.

[Skittles]

18. who said ANYTHING about hanging Trump out to dry?

Comey reminds me of Sandra Day O'Connor - at the end of the day, she will be remembered for helping install a fucking NITWIT into the White House. COMEY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE SAME.

2. It would probably serve Comey well if he refrained from unsolicited engagement, until Mueller's

investigation was complete

[WinkyDink]

12. A polite way of expressing it!

[DangerousUrNot]

4. Im indifferent of Comey but

this was pretty cool to see.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. This man is dangerous

apparently now bent on revenge. Hate to do this comparison but he is like Klingon General Chang in Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country -

[ProfessorGAC]

14. "Let Slip The Dogs of War!"

Love that scene!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Christopher Plummer has always been incredible

I remember the first time I noticed him in a movie was when I saw him in "Return of the Pink Panther" back in 1975. Ended up going back to see that movie 2 more times in the theater.

That whole scene -

11. The Buddha was very wrong. Truth can be hidden forever.

16. That is an important statement.

He knows the truth and he knows its coming out soon.
