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 Trump’s rhetorical attacks on his critics as part of an op-ed published Monday in The Washington Post.
“What’s 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.
“It’s hard on good people, especially those who don’t 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 don’t 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.

This is a man who should be arrested for unlawfully spying on President Trump. I’m sure they make orange jumpsuits for X-Tall prisoners.
James The Teen Age Drama Queen would be well advised to step away from that crack pipe that Brennan gave to him.
“It’s hard on good people, especially those who don’t have savings to fall back on”
Tell it to Flynn, Stone, Cohen and Manafort.
Whatever you think about any of them, the penalties they have faced are insanely disproportionate to the white collar process crimes that virtually all of them were prosecuted for, entirely by Comey’s buddies.
Wow, that’s some corny stuff. Not even a kernel of truth to it.
Comey won’t be saying that after Trump is re-elected.
Seriously...
I SO want to see this pathetic piece of subversive sh*t Comey frog-marched to Gitmo, along with Brennan.
I shouldn’t let this surprise me any longer, but it still does. The comments to the article are just plain nasty. I can’t believe how people have stopped being civil.
7 floors and down Jim.
Nonsense. Barr or Durham could arrest the son of a bitch today. Comey is secure in the knowledge he is free as a bird. Wtf do you guys think he is doing publishing an op ed in the WaPo?
That’s what he sees in the mirror.
I’ve long said Comey either believes or knows he’s untouchable which is why he feels free to continue to write outrageous op eds.
I can’t wait for the big doofus to stand trial and hang for his attempted sedition against the United States and President Trump.
The Deep State Coup-Conspirators don't seem to be afraid of ANY REPERCUSSIONS FOR THEIR HIGH CRIMES, WHATSOEVER.. THIS IS MORE OF AN OUTRAGE THAN THE COUP ATTEMPTS THEMSELVES.
Leave it to the Hill to promote and publish something like this.
