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.

I really think he’s referring to the ones he’s got coming.

Well, then, 5-10 years of federal prison should make you another Jack Reacher!
You'd think nothing goes on there but...
Antifa Suspect in South Dakota Found with 'Concerning' Amount of Weapons and Bomb-Making Materials · by rktman · 79 replies pjmedia.com ^ | 7/18/2018 | Debra Heine
Sioux Falls Police arrested an apparent antifa radical on Tuesday after finding a "concerning" number of illegal firearms and bomb-making materials in his apartment while serving a search warrant in connection with three area burglaries. Police also found antifa-related items during their search, including an antifa jacket and an anti-police manifesto. Authorities reportedly evacuated the surrounding area and called the Sioux Falls Police bomb squad.
Maybe a small town just outside of Kansas City...
Yes. And so on.
Then GTMO will make him Superman!
Yah. You’ve had some really, really tough times you lying leaking piece of drama queen garbage. You’ve only benefited tens of millions; instead of HRC who has benefited hundreds of millions.
I hope your cell in Leavenworth gets nice curtains and a big screen.
Comey is a weasel!
Weasel! Weasel! Weasel!
He eats Weasel Chow for lunch!
Wondering if this was a signal....and if so, to whom about what?
"...we always emerge stronger from hard times."
It's vague and ambiguous.
Maybe it’s the Mt Rushmore part that sends a message.
