Move over, Justin Trudeau, there's a new sexy public official in town.

Since former FBI Director James Comey was fired by President Trump, he's emerged as an unlikely savior of American democracy, but now he's also emerged as an unlikely new sex symbol. Just moments into his hot fire testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, the good people of the internet began to suspect that, against all odds, maybe it was Comey himself who was the real hot fire?

His plain style of "no doubt" truth telling has proved too much for us all to resist, and we appear to have fully given in to our collective lust for Comey's... integrity?

An almost 7-foot tall government official is surely not the most obvious choice for a national object of lust, but desperate times do call for desperate measure. His rather poetic statements have even inspired some to go into the realm of Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired fanfic.

Who knows how loyal we will remain to our newfound love, but some of us are already making a long-term commitment.

It's probably only a matter of time before we're all thirsting for James Comey porn. What a time to be alive.
