DOJ argues Comey seashell post could signal killing Trump
The DOJ asks a federal judge to keep James Comey’s indictment alive, arguing that his May 2025 seashells Instagram post forming '86 47' could be read as a coded threat to kill President Trump, drawing a parallel to coded messaging in Comey’s fiction 'FDR Drive.' Comey’s lawyers counter that the numbers are a non-violent restaurant code and not an intent to threaten the president.
