Former FBI Director James Comey, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, said in a blistering op-ed for The New York Times that Trump's efforts to "exploit the radioactive energy of racism" are "more dangerous" than he realizes.
"America has long had a radioactive racist soup in the center of our national life. Donald Trump thinks he is stirring it for political benefit. He's actually doing something more dangerous," Comey wrote in the piece published Sunday.
Comey's comments come after a series of racist tweets from Trump last month aimed at lawmakers of color and in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where a white supremacist killed at least 20 people in a shopping center -- one of two massacres by gunmen in the US in less than 24 hours. Earlier Sunday, Trump tweeted, "God bless the people of El Paso Texas. God bless the people of Dayton, Ohio," and, separately, ordered American flags to be flown at half-staff as "a mark of solemn respect" for the victims of the tragedies.

He’s really coming out as a fruitcake.
Nationwide organization.”Concept of the day:”? Interesting. Maybe they will be stupid enough to display the insignia. Good post.
A decent man would at least pretend to put Country ahead of party.
Circumstances are about to overtake ANY prosecution and the reporting of it.
Cocky Comey is thumbing his nose at BARR and TRUMP! He KNOWS he’s going to totally skate because of WEAK BARR! DISGUSTING!
How many mass shootings occurred under your watch as FBI Director and how many peopled who are barred from owning guns was able to pass an FBI background check?
He had no respect for the Office of President then, and no respect for President Trump now.
Oh just lock this sodomite up already and throw away the key.
“I think they can be brought to surface by looking into and leveraging the holes and seams in their facade(s).”
This could happen, but they’ll never experience any consequences despite holes and seams in their facades. Nothing will happen. They’re 100% confident in this knowledge, or else they’d have high-tailed it off to foreign countries by now.
AG Barr had better hurry up.
I agree. The failure of this administration to bring about some justice, any justice, is tearing this country apart and empowering the left. We may be out of time.
“Shouldn’t he be in jail, not writing opinion pieces?”
He’s doing these things to make himself appear as something other than a criminal. He’s gotta keep himself out of jail.
“Circumstances are about to overtake ANY prosecution and the reporting of it. ”
What does this mean?
Concur.
Oh, look who’s up on his high horse.
Trump owes you an orange suit and a private cell.
I would like to hear Comey explain why the FBI ignored the warnings about the Parkland shooter.
He owes us traitors, seditionists and federal oath violators being in prison, if not executed, for their crimes against the Republic.
....................................................
Well and truly said, and every word of it!
I believe they are deliberate diversions.
President Trump has been the Golden Boy to MILLIONS of Americans .... until yesterday's announcement of approval for red flag legislation.
There is one report that 5 or 6 of the dead in El Paso are clean head shots with heads mostly gone, indicating profesional shooting.
That nerdy kid in the photo does NOT match up to a nass shooter profile.
Who goes to a venue to perform mass murder in ivy league khaki's and ear protection ?
Well then, who was speaking into his ear ?
Y'GUTT'A DO SOMETHING WITH THOSE HEADPHONES.
Yesterday and today is all about Dayton.
What happened to El Paso ?
AG Barr is running out of time to be an effective prosecutor because there are powers working to not only take down Trump, but neuter his entire cabinet.
THAT'S what that means.
