Comey Indicted for Trump Threat Post

About this episode

Former FBI Director James Comey faces new charges from the DOJ, accused of threatening President Trumps life via a social media post. The post, featuring seashells spelling 8647, was interpreted as a call for assassination. Trumps team and current FBI Director Kash Patel condemned the post. This comes after Comeys first federal indictment last year for lying and obstructing during a congressional hearing. Meanwhile, Comeys daughter Maureen wins a court case to sue the government over her firing as a Manhattan prosecutor. The case adds to the ongoing tensions between old guard FBI figures and the new administration.

A grand jury in North Carolina issued the charges, complete with an arrest warrant, tied to a social media post he made last year. That post showed seashells on a beach spelling out 8647, which folks interpreted as code 86, meaning to get rid of someone, paired with 47 for Trump's second term as the 47th president. Comey deleted it quick after the backlash hit. Trump's team jumped on it hard, calling the post a straight-up call for assassination.
