And poked fun at his current unemployment:

Some wondered about Comey’s musical tastes:

And just about everyone lost it when John McCain accidentally said “President Comey” more than once:

It’s a bit of an understatement to say that Comey had a few fans:

And one tweeter weighed in on what Trump might be up to today:
