Comey Indicted for Seashell Threat, Trump Weighs In
About this episode
Former FBI Director James Comey faces a second indictment over a beach photo, interpreted as a threat against Trump. The image, featuring seashells spelling 8647, was seen as a call to remove Trump, with 86 symbolizing elimination and 47 representing Trumps potential presidential term. Comey, who removed the photo after Secret Service questioning, claims it was a political jab, not a threat. Trump criticized the photo, stating it clearly conveyed an assassination message. The charges remain undisclosed, with anonymous sources confirming the indictment. This development echoes past tensions between Comey and Trump, given Comeys history leading the Russia probe and serving under both parties.

Former FBI director James Comey just got indicted for a second time by the Department of Justice over a social media photo he posted of C-Shells on A. Beech arranged to spell out 86-47. Officials say it was a threat against President Donald Trump, since 86 can mean to get rid of someone and 47 as Trump's would be. Number as the next president, Comey took the picture down last year after the Secret Service questioned him, explaining he meant it as a political jab, not violence in that he opposes any kind of harm. He said he didn't realize some people linked those numbers to killing. Trump called it out on Fox News, saying even a kid would know, it screamed assassination and that Comey as XFBI boss had to understand the message. Loud and clear, charges haven't been detailed yet, confirmed only by anonymous sources, and this comes months after another unrelated case against Comey got tossed out. His lawyer hasn't commented, with Comey's history leading the early Russia probe into
Trump's campaign and serving under both parties, this feels like old tensions boiling over. Again, into the courts, local news, powered by AI, this is Tampa Bay News today. I'm Cory with the story.
