BOOM: FBI Director Drops Bombshell on Obama… Will Be Lucky to Keep His Job

In a shocking speech Friday at the University of Chicago Law School, FBI Director James Comey hit back at President Barack Obama’s early release of drug traffickers and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The speech, which was posted on the FBI’s website, detailed Comey’s experience tackling the drug trade in 1990s Richmond, Virginia, and how supposed inequalities in policing are more to do with the neighborhoods where drug crime happens than police racism.

“Here in Chicago, just last month, more than 50 people were shot in just one weekend,” Comey told the audience.
“The next weekend, the numbers rose even higher. An 11-month-old boy was shot in the hip. His mother and grandmother were shot and killed right next to him. In cities across the country, we are seeing an explosion of senseless violence.”
Comey made clear who suffered most from this violence.

“When I worked as a prosecutor in Richmond, Virginia, in the 1990s, that city, like so much of America, was experiencing horrific levels of violent crime,” Comey said.
“But to describe it that way obscures an important truth: For the most part, white people weren’t dying; black people were dying … if you were black and poor, it didn’t matter whether you were a player in the drug trade or not, because violent crime dominated your life, your neighborhood, your world.”
Comey then took an oblique shot at Obama’s new drug sentencing initiatives that will release thousands of “non-violent” drug offenders beginning Oct. 30.
“The notion of a ‘non-violent’ drug gang member would have elicited a tired laugh from a resident of Richmond’s worst neighborhoods,” Comey said. “Because the entire trade was a plague of violence that strangled Richmond’s black neighborhoods. The lookouts, runners, mill-workers, enforcers and dealers were all cut from the same suffocating cloth.”

Comey then took his biggest swipe, at the expense of Black Lives Matter protesters.
“As we did that work, I remember being asked why we were doing so much prosecuting in black neighborhoods and locking up so many black men. After all, Richmond was surrounded by areas with largely white population,” Comey said.
“My answer was simple: We are there in those neighborhoods because that’s where people are dying. These are the guys we lock up because they are the predators choking off the life of a community,” he explained. “We did this work because we believed that all lives matter, especially the most vulnerable.”
Ouch. In just one speech, Comey  obliterated much of the mythos upon which the president’s ill-considered crime policies are based.

We wonder whether or not Comey will be able to keep his job. We certainly hope so, especially after a brilliant speech like that — the FBI director’s job is supposed to be shielded from politics.
However, we all know how Barack Obama feels about the truth and the lack of tolerance he has for those who tell it.
