FBI Agent On White Supremacy: Trump Not Taking Threat Seriously | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

House Dems are tackling the rise in domestic terrorism from white supremacy groups, by subpoenaing, Jim Watkins, founder of 8Chan, to testify about his site being tied to three deadly shootings, from this year alone. Former FBI agent Mark German, who infiltrated white-supremacy groups, argues Trump’s Department of Justice ‘doesn’t even know how many people are white-supremacists kill each year’ because they have ‘deprioritized the investigation and prosecution’ through policy.

FBI Agent On White Supremacy: Trump Not Taking Threat Seriously | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

[deepstar]

Trump would have to own his words and purge his base... he is too selfish and pathetic to do anything effective. The GOP endorse it...

[adonisshields]

Trump and his voters want a different America not a better America ....open your eyes ppl my family did n we ready...

[chanellyjo]

Decades?!?!?! This have been going on for centuries!

[genobourn]

The reason he is not taking the threats seriously is because those are his "Gooms!"

[stevendurrant]

Trump does take it seriously.

He likes it.

[evelynpollard]

Of course he's not because he's one of them

[poisontoad]

Why would a very stable genius with a very, very large brain and all the best words use them to antagonize his base?

[wesleyc.]

But your Honor, I'm not a racist. The colored men in question are merely abberations of my religious beliefs.

[goonern]

Why does America need Trump to take it seriously? Action can still be taken if the legal system took it seriously. This is national complacency, pure and simple.

[corneliuspearl]

Your saying what black people already know.

[intercat]

I am an ageing white guy who loves America fiercely and believes completely and utterly in my neighbors and fellow Americans of all colors and faiths. I do not want to read this book; it sounds as though it will hurt. But if I have the guts to face whatever it says, you can dang well step up too. The generation before me fought WWII; you and I can face information. And, hey, maybe the book will be wrong, and we can go back to being crossing guards and running chess clubs for underprivileged but wonderfully bright kids. We're not dead yet, we're just terribly wounded.

Why would Trump Investigate his FanClub"

[jacobryan]

Lmao! The conditioning dont work anymore

[nathanielharms]

The police or the media that you just ruled out rule of law. Your information is bogus!

[gastropod]

And...the FBI does not track killings by cops. If you want those numbers The Guardian, a publication from England, keep those numbers.

[calvinroyal]

DUH! No surprises there! It's not the new FBI...same ol!

[m.a.]

Impeach Trump and vote out of office Moscow Mitch.

[janiebuck]

Congress needs to focus on impeachment, ONLY!! Stop working on all this legislation that won't pass!

[TraneFrancks]

It's hard to even fathom the work ethic of an agent capable of spending years infiltrating idealogical groups for whom his own personal ideology is diametrically opposed. Incredible. These guys are real heroes.

[dribrom]

Well solving 60% of all murders is a good number though compare to the rest of the world. In Europe there is a 50/50 chance the murderer gets a conviction.
