The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as to "refuse to serve (a customer)", or to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something. The Oxford English Dictionary says it may be used as a noun or verb. As a noun, "In restaurants and bars, an expression indicating that the supply of an item is exhausted, or that a customer is not to be served; also, a customer to be refused service. Also transferred." As a transitive verb derived from the noun, it means "to eject or debar (a person) from premises; to reject or abandon". The OED gives examples of usage from 1933 to 1981;[1] for example, in The Candidate, a media adviser says to Robert Redford's character, "OK, now, for starters, we got to cut your hair and eighty-six the sideburns".

In light of those dictionary definitions what could it possibly mean in the context of a sitting President?
A stretch? OF COURSE COMEY IS CALLING FOR MURDER. Just like the 55% of Democrats wishing for this.
“Calling for Trump’s murder seems a bit of a stretch.”
What amazes me is the number of people on this site who jump to the defense of Comey.
Okay, tell us, why do you think Comey took the time and effort to spell it out and then post it? Politicians in this country are legitimately removed by elections. Trump cannot be removed by an election, since he won’t run again. What do you think his perfectly honest and above reproach motives were? Have you ever heard the phrase “deep six”? Do you know what that means? Trump has had two assassination attempts already and he spells out what he did? Did you know that there were 8647 days since 911 when he did that? Was that just by accident?
It takes a benighted person to assign any honest motives to an absolutely demonic mental case like Comey. Have you ever noticed how pure-minded Comey likes to present himself? Why does he take so much effort to paint himself as totally justified in all he does?
Comey isn’t that HE is calling fir Trump’s assassination. No, no, he would NEVER do such a thing. Comey is saying that some pre-existing shell formation that he randomly found overseas somewhere and that he doesn’t know what “86” means and decided to photograph and randomly posted for all the world to see in order to let us all know that he is just curious about somebody else’s artistic message—total BS Comey knows exactly what he is doing. If he didn’t know what “86” meant.
, why post something like that. Shame on anybody who can’t figure out by now what kind of person Comey really is.
Trump already 86’d #7 out of his job.
