Comey Charged Over Instagram Post

0:00On April 2, 8th, former FBI director James Comey just got hit with two felony charges over an Instagram post that the Justice Department calls A, straight up threat against President Donald Trump. Back in May 2025, Comey shared a pic of seashells arranged to spell 86.47. That 86 slang means to get rid of someone, and 47 nods to Trump as the 47th president. He captioned it casual, like a beach find, but deleted it quick after backlash. Comey got fired by Trump back in 2017, right when the FBI was digging into Russian ties to the 2016 campaign. Trump and his team saw the post as code for assassination, and they weren't playing around. This week, prosecutors nailed him for knowingly threatening the president's life and sending that threat across state lines. FBI director Cass Patel said the probe drag go on 9, 10, even 11 months. It wasn't some quick case. Patel pointed out Comey deleted the post and said he hates violence, but stressed.
