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?
As some have said. We need to start with a 3am no knock raid.
It might be an idea to word search all of Comeys official emails etc to use of some form of “86” in an unambiguous form…
As a local radio host suggested, give Comey the Comey treatment. Send “ a couple of guys” over to interview him and catch him in a perjury trap. Then prosecute.
I think this is why America hasn't seen any indictments,
arrests or prosecutions of Obama/Biden personnel. Trump
people at the FBI are probably worried about TDS disturbed
personnel hired during the Obama/Biden/Clinton eras
going crazy and shooting up the place. These agents are
still in the building(s) and most likely still
carrying their assigned weapons.
The left-wing psychos need to be purged first.
Isn’t that the new normal? I say do it.
In Criminal Law, criminal intent, also known as mens rea, that must be proven in order to secure a conviction.
JC’s denial could be proof of intention.
Where would they hold the trial? When was the last time a lib was convicted in DD?
Frig the seashell investigation into what the dumb azz did. But, use this as an excuse to give him a ROYAL anal exam. See what else, and I am sure there is much else, to conveniently uncover
IMMEDIATELY
“The phrase ‘to 86 someone’ has been around since the early 20th century, rooted in restaurant slang,”
But where did THAT phrase come from? It’s NOT “rooted” in restaurant slang. It’s rooted prior to that. Someone didn’t pull two random numbers out of thin air in a restaurant one day.
Well, if there was no harmful intent, he shouldn't have posted it on the internet.
Because he CERTAINLY knew what it meant.
As an aside, he may have had someone do it so he could truthfully claim that *he* didn't make that arrangement of shells, that he just *found it*.
Like of all the places in the world, that particular arrangement just happened to be made on the very beach he took a walk on and at a time where he'd just happen to *find* it.
What a breathtaking coincidence.
Agree. The Republicans in Congress are part of the problem. Not passing a budget that s just another symptom.
They don’t serve the people, and why should they? They get nothing but grief for a balanced budget and rational spending. The lobbies don’t pay, the receivers of government money don’t donate, and the locals get mad because they lose jobs..
You’re an idiot.

You deluded trumpeteers are as frightening as any democrat lynch mob calling for your head. Fascists to the left of me, fascists to the right.
Such a nice response! Thankfully, most of my American FRiends are nothing like you.
Yes, the term has multiple meanings. If you consider the source, along with his writings, it’s pretty far-fetched to think Comey meant anything innoculous.
Which meaning to you think the actual idiot (Comey) had in mind?
P.S. Can you imagine how the lunatics on the left would interpret the same comment if made toward Biden or Harris??!! You’d sure find out what the correct interpretation would be!
“”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.””
Add to that.... the fact that the rabid, radical left Democrats care NOTHING for human life, in the womb or out of it. Which means... that anyone in the vicinity of their next attempt to 86 47 could also be taken out and would no doubt be viewed, by them, as collateral damage (worth it). Thus proving that the rabid left in America are the real terrorists. But we knew that.
Now, their next attempt is most likely a matter of when, not if. Here’s hoping that ‘head on a swivel’ Bongino and other new patriot hires in our intel agencies are well aware of these new challenges they face.... and are acting and planning accordingly.
Comey better not have a security clearance!
