Last night, at the Intelligence and National Security Alliance leadership dinner, Comey let slip that he has both a secret Twitter and an Instagram account in the course of relating a quick anecdote about one of his daughters.

An intrepid writer at Gizmodo took that the description in anecdote and combined it with public info about Comey's relatives, associates and personal history to uncover a twitter account that looks suspiciously like it belongs to Comey. Was it a years-long prank in the making, or did the head of the FBI fail at OpSec?

Update: Benjamin Wittes had this to say. The FBI also responded to the article:

Hello,

We don't have any comment.

Thank you.
