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 Trump assassination social media post
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.
he really thinks we are stupid doesn’t he?
Not the brightest. How did this genius get appointment to head FBI?
Yep.
86'd
To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase "80 miles out and 6 feet under" was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86'd originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating.
He needs to re watch Casablanca
👀
More accurately, he thinks he is smarter than everyone. And he enjoys the game he is playing. He is a seriously sick man.
Kurt Schlichter’s term for this guy always sticks in my head when his name comes up - “the looming doofus”
If he didn’t know what it meant…
Then what did he think he was posting?
Exactly....................
Seniority.................
Yes. It’s a birth defect. He was born with his head up his ass....................
I’ve never seen Casablanca...................
Send a 20 man SWAT team crashing through his door at 3AM
You know, exactly like Comey would have done, if he were still in the FBI.
F Lurch.
Was he pardoned by diaper boy?
He was good at playing DC politics. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist. You just have to have no scruples.
Get Smart- Agent 86 = job was to “eliminate” KAOS
I knew what this meant since a child in the 60’s.. when my dad would say 86 this or that it was his cool way of saying make it go away into the trash..(usually junk mail)
When an ex FBI director says it about a human being everybody knows what he meant
Now that is a great idea. And give the conservative media a heads up.
