Former FBI Director James Comey said Monday he took inspiration from a visit to Mount Rushmore in a brief message sent amid a chaotic day of headlines that included an order from President Trump to declassify Comey's text messages related to the Russia investigation.
"Enjoyed today’s visit: An inspiring reminder that we always emerge stronger from hard times," Comey tweeted along with a photo in front of the memorial in South Dakota.
Comey, who was fired in May 2017 and regularly tweets both subtle and overt criticisms of Trump, sent his latest message a short time after the president ordered the declassification of parts of a surveillance application that allowed the FBI to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In addition, the president directed that "all text messages relating to the Russia investigation" from Comey and several other federal officials, including Comey's former deputy, Andrew McCabe, be made public.
The move was seen as highly unusual, and is likely to inflame tensions with law enforcement officials and Democrats who believe the order is an improper effort by Trump and his congressional allies to undermine in an ongoing investigation.
Conservative allies of the president have long sought the disclosure of additional documents related to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, arguing that the materials would prove the probe was illegitimate or biased.
Comey's tweet also came as senators announced that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford will testify next week over Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh attempted to sexually assault her during a high school party in the 1980s.
Additionally on Monday, Trump announced new tariffs against China, escalating concerns regarding a trade dispute between the world's two largest economies.
The fool has no idea.
Comey, I do not fear you at all. You need to emerge so some of us can confront you. Coward.
Comey sounds like someone who is contemplating DOING hard time.
Funny. It’s like he was listening to a conversation at my kitchen table last night.
Why does God put His people through hard times? To make them stronger and ready to face giant obstacles.
Pssst…..that saying “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” — it is not always true.
Get ready for some very hard times, Jim!
You brought them on yourself.
The economy is roaring, many places have full employment, wages are up in nearly all fields, taxes are down, construction is booming, knowledge is universal, it’s never been cheaper to buy groceries and unemployment for minorities and women are at record lows. What hard times is this jack wagon talking about?
Like when you go to prison?
don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time..
knew it would be written by Brett Samuels - they “reporters” are so easy to spot.
17 Sept: American Thinker: Constitution Day — the Most Important Commemoration of 2018
By Scott S. Powell
Constitution Day, which falls on September 17, is the national observance holiday that most Americans have never heard of. Yet this year, 2018, it may well be our most important holiday…
Frequent elections established by the Constitution provided yet another check to limit the extent and duration of government incompetence and corruption. This also meant that the most sacred responsibility of citizenship established by the Constitution was and is the right of the people to vote and decide who shall govern…
So it comes as an unprecedented shock to learn that a significant number of high-ranking U.S. Government officials — most appointed during the Obama administration — betrayed their oaths of office and refused to accept the will of the people manifest in Trump’s 304 electoral-college vote victory over Clinton’s 227 votes. A new civil war has begun, but it is very different than the one fought 157 years ago.
The report from the Inspector General of the Justice Department, testimonies and documents of subpoenaed government officials, and reams of government documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act lawsuits provide overwhelming evidence that the Director of National Intelligence, the Directors of both the CIA and the FBI, along with a number of high-ranking subordinates, and top officials in the Justice Department, took concerted actions to undermine candidate Donald Trump leading up to the November 2016 election. The FBI and the Justice Departments were politically weaponized and FISA courts were repeatedly deceived, in an unprecedented effort to destroy a presidential candidate and throw the election to the opponent.
When that failed, and Trump was elected, this same cabal continued undeterred in concerted actions to undermine the duly elected president — only now those actions were tantamount to a coup d’état...
Trump is vilified by the national media more than any prior president for the simple reason that he unrelentingly exposes the media’s dishonesty, double standards, and bias. As a result, more people than ever now understand the “fake news” phenomenon...

happy Constitution Day.
Hard Time. That’s what Comey is about to do.
FOAD Comey
Comey, George Will, Bill Kristol — they’ve sunk so low they have to look “up” to see “down”...
So we should thank him for the hard times?
To hell with him.
So true...
The real beauty is the suffering Jim Comey goes through every day worrying about everything he’s done wrong.
