US Ambassador to Qatar Appears to Jab Trump Over Comey

The U.S ambassador to Qatar appeared to take a shot at President Donald Trump on Twitter just after learning Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey.

Increasingly difficult to wake up overseas to news from home, knowing I will spend today explaining our democracy and institutions.

Dana Shell Smith is a holdover from the Obama administration, and Tuesday's tweet was not the first time she appeared to take aim at the current president.

She retweeted one day earlier:

"I did my job." #SallyYates represents the honorable career people whom unknowing people call the swamp & who are the backbone of republic.
