X is all a-twitter over Comey's video, suggesting hidden messages. It's not just that he's a 10-year-old girl, he's communicating with co-conspirators.

"Sing with me and find the key"
Comey has a history of covert communications. Twitter account and email account in fake name, Reinhold Niebuhr (theologist Comey wrote his thesis on) to communicate with co-conspirators in the media and others.
The FBI group he led also used fake names, for example Stephen Somma (responsible for FISAs, Steele, Halper) met Carter Page under the name of Steve Holt, moron jerk in Arrested Development. Codenames used also were significant, Stefan Halper, FBI informer and CIA operative, architect of Spygate, had FBI codename Mitch, a fictional character who is a CIA operative operating off-the-books. Christopher Steele's codename was Crown, implying the information came from British government.
The same FBI group used words from songs to convey meaning only known within their tight circle. The FBI Trump-Russia counter-intelligence investigation that Comey ordered was codenamed Crossfire Hurricane. Peter Strzok, the FBI counterintelligence agent who played a central role in launching the investigation, came up with the code name "Crossfire Hurricane."
He explained that the name was inspired by the Rolling Stones song "Jumpin' Jack Flash". The movie's protagonist is a British agent entangled in Russian espionage, contacting an American for help against the KGB. The FBI operation mirrors the film's setup of a British operative (Steele) relying on U.S.-based aid to counter "Russian threats". The song plays a key role in the story, as the movie characters bond over their love of the Rolling Stones, and the password to decrypt messages is cracked using references to the band's music. The movie character receives message from an unknown source signing off as "Jumpin' Jack Flash. The spy insists on a secure password to proceed with communications, providing a riddle: "Sing with me and find the key." This is the clue that the solution ties into the Rolling Stones song of the same name, as the spy hints at their mutual love for the band. Both are true fans.
Is Comey using Taylor Swift music in a similar way?

At first blush, Comey's video strikes one as ... childishly immature, which is he is definitely not. Accordingly, Svetlana seems correct here. I will take a crack at it, that Swift may be code for now escalating and moving quickly, to whoever needs to be told that, in furtherance of their conspiracy. He is under a microscope and he knows that. So perhaps more meaningful than it seems, or not. I don't live in the world of espionage, double agents, and Presidential assassination attempts... thankfully.

Sometimes words have two meanings. The "I am a Swifty" message is fake. Well isn't it? What do you think?
