President Trump’s lawyer Rudolph Giuliani coined James Comey as a verb in his latest criticism of the former FBI director Tuesday.
“‘Comey’ (v) means to interfere illicitly with an election,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “For example ‘The Chicago Democrat machine comied the 1960 election.’ This usage is derived from Comey’s interference in the 2016 election by irresponsible press conferences and then leaking.”
In another tweet that is still on his feed, Mr. Giuliani accused Mr. Comey of interfering “more in election than anyone.”
Comey proven leaker of confidential FBI material directed the violation of General Flynn’s right to counsel and set up a false statement charge FBI didn’t believe was false. Comey interfered more in election than anyone. It has become a verb you shouldn’t “comey” an election.

The president and his team have been critical of Mr. Comey recently, as he returned to Capitol Hill to testify before two House committees.
Mr. Comey took a hard swing at Republicans and the president Monday after his second day of testimony, accusing Mr. Trump’s “mean tweets” of discrediting the FBI.
