he Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and the full U.S. attorney in the office ultimately will decide whether to bring charges against him for threatening the president, Secret Service sources tell RealClearPolitics.
As an attorney and former top law enforcement official in the nation, Comey is well aware that he can decline an interview without having an attorney present, so he may refuse to cooperate with Secret Service agents’ questioning until he can hire a lawyer to represent him. On the other hand, Comey could agree to demonstrate how open and transparent he is and immediately cooperate and sit down for an interview.
Top law enforcement and intelligence officials on Thursday said they were investigating Comey’s viral social media post, which many Trump supporters viewed as a threat against the president.
Just hours after Comey, who Trump fired in 2017, took down the post, claiming he was unaware the message has violent connotations, Homeland Security Department Secretary Kristi Noem announced that her agency and the Secret Service are investigating “this threat and will respond appropriately.”
FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also weighed in, arguing that the FBI is ready to assist the Secret Service with “all necessary support,”

Will the FBI get Comey for lying the same way they got General Flynn?
He deleted his social media account.
I’d be more impressed if they investigated his behavior at FBI.
2016: “FBI’s Comey says ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would bring a case against Clinton for emails”
2025: “Comey says ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would bring a case against me for pebbles”
Has he been in contact with anyone at the FBI or DOJ since he left?
Gretchen Whitmer has pics of her with 8645
Next to her in her office.
I’d be more impressed if t hey investigated the deep state conspiracy against the Republic of which he is just one member.
“Force” him?
* Bamboo shoots under the fingernails?
* “Music torture”? (I Fought The Law by The Clash, Panama by the stadium rock band Van Halen, U2’s All I Want Is You, and Bruce Cockburn’s If I Had A Rocket Launcher)
* Water boarding?
Comey is a violent being need to keep an eye on him 24/7 and his comrades.
All the left are in a deranged mode they have let their TDS overtake their logic and reasoning to a point of they are in a state of madness.
Media approved aka their cheering section.
This will be a test for Bondi/Kash. A blatant call for assassination of The President by a person who is most definitely a credible threat. Can’t hide from this. Can’t let this go. Maybe we should thank Comey for doing this.
Comey is weasel but it wasn’t a “blatant call”
The idea that Comey did not know what it meant is crazy. What 65 year old man posts 8647 on X without knowing what it is. He is not a high school girl. For him to decide this was worthy of showing people, meant he knew what it meant. And its likely that he either made the shell symbol or he knew the person who did.
Why haven’t they already questioned his sorry ass?
Remember that school kid who was arrested and given the third degree for posting that he wanted to throw a bucket of water on Hillary and watch her melt? I want to see Comey given at least that same level of treatment.
Secret Service MAY ! ? Get the corrupt traitor in the cell NOW! Just pretend it was Trump saying it about Biden or Obama,we know how fast you would act then.
Hey Patel you talked big when you were out of government,What The Hell are you waiting for!
Hey Patel take a hint from Tulsi Gabbard! Get off your ass
I think the behavior of Comey both as FBI director and after, speaks volumes about our lack of civil awareness and responsibility as a society.
He acted way outside the boundaries of proper behavior for an FBI director and he allowed his staff at the highest levels to act without professional integrity. But Society including the Republicans who should have been acting as an opposition party, remained silent as though his behavior might have been acceptable.
Going on liberal television shows and garnering Applause from The Audience by bragging about entrapping Administration officials, as if it was all hilarious when he destroyed their lives for doing nothing wrong.
Launching early morning raids with SWAT teams against elderly couples in their pajamas when they could have simply been asked to stop down at headquarters to be arrested.
Letting his subordinates who were investigating the lead candidates for both political parties, engage in plainly biased written Communications.
Now this latest stunt which demonstrates once again how immature he is.
But we live in a society in which Congress wanted to impeach Trump for firing this idiot, and didn’t Jeff Sessions and others step aside because Trump did what obviously needed to be done?
I grew up in an American society in which no one could get away with operating the FBI this way, certainly not with the public aware of it.
Why wouldn't he be? I certainly would.
