Former FBI Director James Comey deleted his Instagram post, which appeared to 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.
Comey deleted the post after major backlash, and he updated with an unbelievable comment.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.
So Comey expects the public to believe that he, a former FBI Director, did not know the meaning of “86.”
James Comey is also implying he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.
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.
