Excerpt:
Washington, D.C. – Former FBI Director James Comey posted a chilling photo on Instagram at 21:08 UTC on May 15, 2025, showing the number “86” written with shells and stones on a beach, prompting Trump supporters to call it a veiled call for assassination. The post, viewed over 1.5 million times, has conservatives on X in an uproar: “Comey’s threatening Trump—lock him up now!”

Uhhhhh, what the hell?!!!!!!!

I can’t believe a former FBI director would post a call to assassination…

Holy sh*t.

James Comey knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s sending a signal for the assassination of President Trump. Time to arrest him and prosecute him.

The image, set against a sandy beach with waves in the distance, shows “86” prominently displayed, a term rooted in 1930s diner slang meaning to eliminate, later adopted by gangs and Antifa to signify killing, per nationalgangcenter.ojp.gov and dhs.gov. Comey’s history with Trump, including his 2017 firing over the Russia investigation, fuels the outrage, as Trump called it a “great day for America.” The post comes amid heightened security concerns for Trump, with a 20% increase in Secret Service funding in 2025 after two apparent assassination attempts in 2024, per whitehouse.gov.

Secret Service probing ex-FBI chief James Comey for allegedly threatening Trump in since-deleted ‘8647’ Instagram post
By Victor Nava
Published May 15, 2025
Updated May 15, 2025, 7:57 p.m. ET

The Secret Service is investigating former FBI Director James Comey after he was accused Thursday of calling for violence against President Trump in a since-deleted Instagram post.

Comey, who was fired by Trump early in his first term, had posted an image of seashells arranged in the shape of the numerals “8647.”

The number “86” is commonly used as slang to mean getting rid of something or ejecting someone — especially in restaurant and bar settings when referring to menu items. Trump is the 47th president of the US.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” the FBI chief-turned-crime novelist captioned the post.

Trump administration officials and the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., interpreted Comey’s post as a death threat against the commander in chief.

“While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States — a message etched in the sand,” White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich wrote on X. “This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.”

James Comey is pure slime.

For his acts in the past, he should have been locked up for treason. I think we need to broaden the interpretation of treason. There are far more folks that should be indicted and convicted for this crime.

Maryland dads go into tattoo parlors all the time and say “Hey put random shit on my fingers. No, it doesn’t have to mean anything.” And former FBI directors just happen to discover messages on the beach that don’t mean anything and that they totally didn’t put there themselves.

Trump World has tough case with Comey over ‘assassination’ message
by Alex Gangitano - 05/16/25 2:50 PM ET

President Trump’s allies are targeting former FBI Director James Comey over his “8647″ social media message, which they claim was a call for the president’s assassination.

But making the case could be difficult, given protections for free speech and the broad meanings behind the eighty-sixing of someone.

In contrast to other administration officials who issued immediate demands for investigations into Comey, Attorney General Pam Bondi has stayed silent on the matter. When reached with questions about plans for a potential prosecution, the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to comment.

President Trump said he thought Comey’s Instagram photo of seashells on a beach arranged to form the numbers “8647” was a call for his assassination, MAGA influencers online are bashing the former FBI director and top Trump officials and aides are doubling down on accusing Comey of issuing a threat.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) also urged the administration to look into the situation. Democrats on Capitol Hill, for their part, are not rushing to the defense of Comey, who was seen by that party as interfering in the final weeks of the 2016 election between Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich said Comey’s post “can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting president of the United States” and said the message is being taken seriously. Budowich also called on Democrats to “condemn these threats, not stoke them.”

I've seen people explain that "86" is restaurant vernacular. During my time in the food service industry, 86 meant "cancel it" or "throw it out." Arguably, then, Asshat Comey is calling for throwing Trump out - via impeachment, perhaps - except we already have a history of Antifa and other leftists using it only as code for "kill."

That’s the thing, these idiots providing cover to Comey are trying to pretend that there is only the one definition, the food related one while totally ignoring the street slang definition, that Comey with his background absolutely knows, that has been around just as long and has a more lethal meaning. Once again the left think that they are smarter than everyone else and their

Former FBI Director James Comey meets with Secret Service after controversial '86 47' post
Former FBI director faces questioning over deleted social media content some interpret as threatening
By David Spunt , Brie Stimson Fox News
Published May 16, 2025 5:55pm EDT

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to meet face to face with U.S. Secret Service officials in Washington, D.C. for an interview about his "86 47" post, two sources briefed on the meeting told Fox News.

Comey is under investigation for an Instagram post showing seashells arranged on a beach to read "86 47."

"Cool shell formation on my beach walk," he wrote in the since-deleted post. Some have interpreted the post to mean "86" – get rid of – "47" – Donald Trump, the 47th president.

The U.S. Secret Service is leading the investigation at this point, but the FBI and Department of Justice could take a larger role if necessary, Fox News is told.

John Brennan has even less credibility than Comey so I doubt he's going to leave a mark.
