Comey indicted again over seashells post deemed a threat to Trump
TL;DR Summary
Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts for allegedly posting an Instagram image of seashells arranged to read '86 47,' which prosecutors say amounted to a threat against President Donald Trump. The case, filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina, is part of the DOJ’s broader busca against political opponents, though Comey and his lawyers deny any wrongdoing and say they will vigorously contest the charges. The indictment focuses on alleged intent and how a reasonable reader might interpret the post, a point disputed by Comey’s team.
