James Comey may have just been fired by President Donald Trump from his position as FBI Director, but he already has a new job offer from a surprising source: WikiLeaks. Shortly after he was fired, Julian Assange tweeted that he would be happy to offer Comey a new job if he wanted to continue to properly investigate the U.S. government from WikiLeaks’ D.C. office.
WikiLeaks would be happy to consider hiring James Comey to help lead its DC office should he like to properly investigate the US government.

Weird… WikiLeaks retweeted a tweet from March 20 that called out Comey for misleading Congress about Republican emails not being released in 2016:

WikiLeaks stated it welcomed any information from Comey or other FBI as to exactly why he was fired:
If James Comey or any other former or current FBI officers have information as to why he was fired, we want to help: https://t.co/cLRcuIiQXz

Comey's firing will be an extraordinary boon for transparency as his loyalists leak and the admin counter-leaks. Will he run for 2020?
