On April 30th, former FBI director James Comey turned himself in at a federal courthouse in eastern Virginia on Wednesday, facing charges of threatening President Trump and sending that threat across state lines through social media. The case comes from an Instagram post he made last May, showing seashells arranged to spell out 8647. That combo has been linked by Trump supporters to a call for violence, since 86 is slang for getting rid of, or even killing someone, and Trump is the 47th president. Trump blasted Comey on truth social that night, calling him a dirty cop who knows exactly what it means, and even through an align about 8 miles, out 6 feet down. Comey's cam fired back with a video where he said he's innocent, not scared, and trust the courts. His lawyers plan to argue that Justice Department is hitting him selectively at Trump's direction. Something acting Attorney General Todd Blanch denies flat out. Earlier probes into the post fizzled, but now it's revived amid other legal back-and-force between the two.

Legal watchers, even some Trump backers, bet this indictment won't stick and could get tossed before trial on constitutional grounds, leaving the whole saga as another chapter in their long-running feud.
