Former FBI Director James Comey said President Trump has become a shrunken, withered figure, and urged Americans to challenge his actions.
Comey outlined the urgency in what he defined as the fourth, and final, stage, of dealing with Trumps rhetorical attacks on his critics as part of an op-ed published Monday in The Washington Post.
Whats it like to be personally and publicly attacked by the president of the United States? Like many others in and out of government, I have some experience, wrote Comey, who was fired by Trump and has feuded with the president for more than two years.
Its hard on good people, especially those who dont have savings to fall back on, he continued. But the truth is that, in many ways, it is not as hard as you might think, especially as it continues endlessly, leaking power, shrinking its source.

It no longer feels as though the most powerful human on the planet is after you. It feels as though a strange and slightly sad old guy is yelling at you to get off his lawn, echoed by younger but no less sad people in red hats shouting, Yeah, get off his lawn! Comey wrote.

I dont mean to suggest Trump is not dangerous. The horrific betrayal of allies in northern Syria demonstrates that an impetuous and amoral leader can do great harm, even in shrunken form, Comey adds.
For the fourth, and final, stage, we need to fight through our fatigue and contempt for this shrunken, withered figure. Spurred by the danger he poses to our nation and its values, we have to overcome the shock and numbness of earlier stages. We must not look away, Comey wrote.

Maybe it's the opposite: Comey expects to be indicted and is trying to get his narrative established before his trial. It's also likely that he hopees to goad the prosecution or the president himself into a reply that would provide grounds for dismissal or appeal later on.
Appeals to the press--especially ones so bitter-- imply fear, not confidence.
The hubris! Make it stop!
@Comey RE: “Former FBI Director James Comey said President Trump has become a shrunken, withered figure, and urged Americans to challenge his actions.”
I think you were looking down in your pants when you came up with that...
Message to Comey:
At a minimum you are going to jail you scum-bag.
Better yet if you are executed for treason.
Considering the WaPost is owned by uber liberal Jeff Bezos I think Jimbo made his axe to grind and Bezos handed him the outlet...Trump Derangement Syndrome has seriously affected old Comey. But we are talking about serious evil doers in the deep state. One thing that gives me comfort is knowing that weekly Bible studies and prayer meetings are taking place within the cabinet!
Why is this dude still talking?
