A former FBI counterterrorism agent, Dave Gomez, told The Washington Post he thought that a fear of being seen as targeting President Donald Trump's base was muting the agency's response to violence by white nationalists.
"There's some reluctance among agents to bring forth an investigation that targets what the president perceives as his base," Gomez told the publication.
The comments followed an attack on Saturday by a gunman at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that the FBI is treating as a domestic terrorism incident.
Investigators have said the gunman left a racist manifesto on the messaging board 8chan ahead of the attack.https://www.insider.com/ex-fbi-boss-age ... ase-2019-8

The FBI should go after white nationalists- forget about “Trump’s base”. There are probably a ton of white nationalists in his administration and more of his “base” who are enabled and will vote for him.....and that could very well be the worst thing ever for our country!
