Comey Indicted Over Beach Seashell Threat

0:00On April 28th, former FBI director James Comey just got hit with a second indictment this week. This once over an Instagram photo from last May, showing seashells arranged to spell out 8647 on a beach. Officials claim it was a threat against President Donald Trump, the 47th president, since 86 is slaying for getting rid of someone. Comey posted it during a walk, then quickly deleted it after folks pointed out the violent vibe. He said he thought it was just political talk and opposes all violence. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a Trump ally, pushed this case through the Justice Department as part of a wave targeting the president's critics. Comey and Trump have beef going back years. Trump fired him in May 2017 while the FBI probed possible Russia ties to his campaign. Their first indictment against Comey got tossed out months ago, sparking talk of indicative prosecution now. Trump blasted the post on Fox News back in May, saying even a kid knows 8647 means assassination.

This keeps the feud alive, with Comey's team silent so far and questions mounting about weaponizing the law against old foes. I stay glued as these political cases unfold.
