Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump?
James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat.

It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump.
Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term.
Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.
Comey admitted during a Congressional hearing that he gave portions of his memos to a friend (Daniel Richman) to leak to the New York Times in order to prompt a special counsel investigation into President Trump for obstruction of justice.
Within 24 hours of the memo leak to the New York Times, Mueller was appointed as special counsel on May 17th, 2017
Comey gave former special counsel Robert Mueller the memos and was a witness in the Mueller inquisition.
James Comey also declared that Trump was “morally unfit to be president” and claimed there was “certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice” by the President — all the while Comey was a witness in Mueller’s investigation.
Update: The White House responded to Comey’s social media post calling it “what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States.”
“This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.”
The FBI is also aware of Comey’s Instagram post.
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.
