CNN’s Honig: Comey Post ‘Not a Criminally Chargeable Threat’
Breitbart ^ | 05/15/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/16/2025 7:02:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Thursday on CNN’s “The Source” that former FBI Director James Comey’s social media post about President Donald Trump that featured a photo of seashells arranged to read, “86 47,” was not criminally chargeable.

Kaitlan Collins said, “Listen to what the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – just to give you a sense of what administration officials are saying – what she just said tonight.”

Fox News host Jesse Watters said, “Do you believe Comey should be in jail?”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said, “I do. Any other person with a position of influence that he has, people who take very seriously what a guy of his stature, his experience, and what the propaganda media has built him up to be.”

OK. Then charge Comey with one of the other 100 things that he did to undermine democracy and corrupt the government. Let’s start with conspiring to use false claims to throw the election to Hillary in 2016.

He is correct...but only if the post was from someone clueless - not a FORMER FBI DIRECTOR.

...and why did he post it PUBLICLY?

If someone burned the AIDS quilt, I’m sure Elie would be calling for the death penalty.

Or 13 years in prison for burning an LGBT flag

Comer would no doubt like to see Trump dead, but how do we get “assassinate” from the number 86? Too subtle for me.

Yeah I’m sure he would say the exact same thing if it was 86 44 at the time

“Comer would no doubt like to see Trump dead, but how do we get “assassinate” from the number 86? Too subtle for me.”

That’s why they came up with it. They can say it and get away with it.

Premature to charge at this time.

At this point, the process is to do a 6AM warrant to enter his premises to question him, look for evidence and check out his wife’s underwear. The agents must also be prepared to use deadly force.

Only after this, and possibly a light wooden shampoo, would he be charged.

I believe now that what you just mentioned is in the works. This is just a little extra icing on the cake to show how hateful Comey is to Trump.

From AI:

In restaurant lingo, “86” means to remove an item from the menu because it is no longer available. It can also be used to indicate that a customer is no longer welcome at the establishment. The origin of the term is believed to be a rhyming slang word for “nix,” meaning to reject or veto.

Isn’t that what the courts are for, to determine if a crime has been committed and if so is the person innocent or guilty?

They should charge him and then keep delaying things as he spends millions on defending himself, that seems to be the Democrat way.

Always wondered how much Clinton Foundation money meandered through laundry and ended up in Comey’s possession.

86 has long been a slang term to mean terminate. In food service, it means you are out of an item so terminate sales. It can also mean to eject a customer in a business establishment. Military uses it to mean scrap something. A lot of professionals refer to layoffs or firing as being 86’d.

"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."

Comey's no waiter. He would have the means to "get rid of" someone.

First of all, it's Comey not Speaker of the House Comer.

Secondly, it's well known among law enforcement, military, investigative services and the mob that "86" means to KILL SOMEONE. A former FIB director KNOWS this and if Comey DIDN'T know this they WHY DID HE THINK "8647" was "COOL" ???

HOOK THAT SOB UP TO A POLYGRAPH AND ASK HIM "DID YOU KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER 86 REPRESENTS WHEN YOU FIRST SAW THE SHELL FORMATION", and DID YOU MAKE THAT SHELL FORMATION?, ETC.

Back in the prominent mob days if you wanted to get rid of someone you would “86” them, meaning you take them 8 miles out of town and put them 6 feet under
