UPDATE: James Comey ‘death threat’ takes a turn…
100 Percent Fed Up ^ | May 16, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 05/16/2025 11:57:11 AM PDT by Red Badger

UPDATE:

A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump. That term is widely understood to mean kill or eliminate.

The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to classified material.

The same Left that spent years crying about “stochastic terrorism” is silent now. But silence isn’t justice. If Comey broke the law, he doesn’t get to hide behind his badge or his politics—he belongs in handcuffs.

Rep Andy Ogles:

I just sent a letter to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, urging an immediate joint investigation into former FBI Director James Comey for a disturbing social media post in which he called to “86” President Trump.

The letter requests a formal inquiry into possible violations of federal law, including:

18 U.S.C. § 871 — threats against the President

18 U.S.C. § 875 — interstate communications containing threats

It also demands confirmation on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to any classified materials.

The Left spent years claiming Republicans were guilty of “stochastic terrorism” for expressing strong political opinions. Now, a former FBI Director appears to openly endorse assassinating the President—and they say nothing.

If Comey broke the law, he shouldn’t get a pass. He should be in handcuffs.

The left, the media, the uniparty, Hollywood, basically everyone who props up the progressive regime, has spent years dehumanizing Trump. They’ve turned him into a monster, a threat, a disease. So when one of their own casually suggests “86ing” him in a smug little beach post, it’s not just par for the course, it’s part of the plan.

That’s exactly what former FBI Director James Comey just did. In what he called a “cool shell formation,” Comey shared a photo of seashells arranged to spell out “8647.” To the average person, it might seem like a harmless little meme. But to anyone paying attention, especially those who know what “86” means, this was anything but innocent.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich shared the post, calling it “deeply concerning.”

Yes, concerning. Especially since President Trump has already been shot in the face by a deranged leftist.

Taylor Budowich:

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.

This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.

The phrase “to 86 someone” has been around since the early 20th century, rooted in restaurant slang, meaning to cancel or throw out. Over time, especially in underworld and military circles, it morphed into something far more sinister: a euphemism for murder. And when paired with “47,” an obvious reference to President Trump becoming the 47th President, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what Comey was getting at.

President Trump knows exactly what Comey meant and had this to say in response:

Right on cue, Comey deleted the post, claiming he found the shells arranged that way and opposes violence, insisting there was no harmful intent.

Please. Nobody’s buying that.

MAGA knows exactly what he’s doing. They’ve been running this same play for over a decade. Here’s what people online are saying about the beachy death threat:

“Arrest Comey.”

“Perp-walk Comey or stop talking about it… it’s time! The republicans will not help, so it’s time for MAGA to go to the mattresses.”

“Arrest the MFer.”

“James Comey should be the first prisoner of Alcatraz.”

“Is secret service going to pay Comey a visit? He’s violating 18 U.S. Code § 871 – Threats against the President and successors to the Presidency It’s very serious. And if the shoe was on the other foot an arrest would be made.”

“If Comey isn’t arrested for this, there’s no hope anymore.”

“Are you guys going to actually do something about this or just post on X??? Seems like millions of deranged lunatics keep getting away with this and have no consequences to fear. Why is that?”

“And with that, Comey justifies every anti-fed, “deep state” concern anyone has voiced since 2020. Well done, James. Thanks for the clarification.”

“I’m a former liberal and I am absolutely APPALLED that anyone former FBI Director would post this. Truly shocked. I hope you’re ACTUALLY taking this seriously.”

“This time, Comey can’t hide in the curtains.”

“This is a very well known phrase to anyone with a background in the restaurant industry, the military, or law enforcement. James Comey knew what he was saying. This was for real.”

“The American people have had it with the threats against President Tump. For four long years Biden would periodically say things that were threatening directed at the citizens of our own nation.”

“It’s unfortunate that the universe couldn’t summon a tsunami to carry Comey and his shell art out to sea.”

“Why isn’t he in custody?”

This wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t clever or cryptic. It was a signal. And James Comey, once one of the most powerful law enforcement figures in America, knew exactly what he was doing.

The scary part is that these TDS-deranged leftists genuinely believe they’re the good guys. In their delusional worldview, Trump is Hitler 2.0, and his supporters are subhuman threats to their precious democracy. So, in their minds, “taking him out” isn’t just acceptable, it’s righteous. It’s noble. It’s necessary. In that twisted fantasy, Comey and his cronies see themselves as the heroes saving the world.

You have to remember, everything the left does is for a bigger, grander purpose. James Comey posting that wink-and-a-nod death threat was not for clicks and giggles. It was a dog whistle. The Deep State has been trying to kill President Trump for over a decade now, and they know their best shot, pun sadly intended, is by inciting their unhinged, violent supporters into makeshift assassins.

And sure enough, James’ dog whistle worked. Big left-wing accounts are now pushing out the message “8647” to their mentally ill, rage-fueled followers, totally and completely aware of what this message really means.

Comey knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn’t some innocent post or clever beach joke. It was a calculated dog whistle. He tested the waters, and the reaction proved him right. His mission was successful. He did what he set out to do. He inspired the unhinged left, revved them up with a wink and a nudge, and gave them a digital call to arms. Another round of assassination theater is now in motion…

And that should terrify every American who still believes in law, order, and the peaceful transfer of power. Because if they can normalize this kind of violent rhetoric against Trump, there’s no telling where they’ll go next or who they’ll target.

But don’t forget, the reason they keep getting away with this is because our side does nothing but rage-tweet and bellyache. Where’s the action? Why isn’t Comey arrested? Why isn’t his social media account suspended for inciting death threats against the President of the United States? Something. Anything. The American people deserve better. We deserve a return to normalcy, and the only way that happens is by calling out and confronting the left’s immoral behavior head-on.

We’ll leave you with this meme, which sadly, sums it all up, right?

“Nothing will happen. Comey is a liberal. Two sets of justice.”

*************

One of the main reasons nothing will happen is because one political party lacks the courage or convictions to impose accountability. And so there’s no disincentives for the liberals to change their evil ways.

He admitted to leaking classified notes to the press. He admitted to falsifying evidence to get warrants from FISA. He admitted to entrapping Mike Flynn.

No charges. No consequences of any sort. Some people are above the law.

I’m gonna speculate that Comey knows actual conspiracy and deprivation of rights under color of law charges are imminent, he’s still got sleepers on the inside. This is an attempt to inoculate him from being arrested for that by claiming “political retribution.”

But we don’t care anymore. Justice MUST be done.

In other news the DOJ has agents sitting outside of courthouses to arrest low level illegal aliens.

So the former FBI Director is walking on a beach (location undisclosed) and happens upon a series of shells that apparently nobody else noticed. And while he claims not to have known the significance of the coded message, he inexplicably snapped a photograph with his mobile device.

I’m just gonna throw the bullshit flag right there. Get him under oath and then have the Secret Service start with a forensic dive into Comey’s phone records including cell tower coordinates.

That should be sufficient to place him nowhere near the waterline and then he can tell us what he’s really up to or face jail time.

Comey will end up the dems nominee.

With Ocrazio-Cortex as VP, and Bernie Sanders. Sanders will have a duel role as Transportation (private jets) Secretary, AND, Secretary of the Treasury (Bernie has proven very adept at moving and funneling $$$ to where it will do the most good, for him)

Heck, with all of Bernie's homes, he might also qualify as the head of HUD!

Start with an early morning raid on Comey’s home with armed FBI swat teams and Fox News cameras

Exactly. Comey should be toast, but this is about the conspiracy.

The fact that he and his co-conspirators in Crossfire Hurricane aren’t in Prison for Life for the Seditious conspiracy to overthrow a sitting President is far more troubling for me. But LOCK HIM UP since NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

Trump is a billionaire. He is best friends the Saudi Prince. And Comey, the looming doofus, spends a lot of time walking alone in nature.

I wonder if the Saudi Prince would be angry at Comey for threatening his friend, the man who is giving his KSA an unprecedented chance at non-oil wealth?

The number 86 seems to have many meanings.
Growing up in general meant “get rid of” in my circles.

“What do you want me to do with this old jacket?
86 it!”
Throw it away.

Regardless of your particular interpretation, Comey is a jerk.

If I was writing a novel, the Crown Prince would worry that Comey was signaling another assassination plot. He would worry that if they 86 Trump, that would cost him the most supportive President ever, trillions of dollars, and the chance to modernize his Kingdom.

And then the Prince would remember dealing with one very troublesome guy Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi.

And then he would remember Comey is always walking along in nature. People just -vanish- out there. Just ask David Paulides!
