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.

The tweet was a bit of a surprise, considering that around the same time today, WikiLeaks retweeted a tweet from March 20 that called out Comey for misleading Congress about Republican emails not being released in 2016:

​WikiLeaks also announced Comey’s firing with the following tweet, which pointed out a highly criticized statement he had made about WikiLeaks:
