The United States Secret Service (USSS) has initiated an investigation into former FBI Director James Comey following allegations that he incited violence against President Donald Trump in a now-deleted Instagram post.
The controversy arose after Comey, who was dismissed by Trump early in his first term presidency, shared an image featuring seashells arranged to form the numbers “8647.”
The number “86” is colloquially associated with the act of removing or eliminating something or someone — such as when a patron is “86’d” from a bar or restaurant after being too intoxicated or rowdy.
Therefore, the phrase “86 47” appears to convey a coded message advocating for the removal of the 47th president.
Online, Democrats contend that the post merely conveys Comey’s desire to see Trump removed from office, while conservatives assert that it is far from subtle, characterizing it as an unequivocal call for violence against Trump.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” the former FBI chief captioned the post.
Comey has publicly expressed ongoing criticism of Trump, particularly after being dismissed from his position by him in 2017. In his book “A Higher Loyalty,” and in various interviews, Comey described Trump as morally unfit for office while condemning his leadership style.
Officials from the Trump administration, along with the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., construed Comey’s post as an implicit death threat directed toward the GOP commander-in-chief.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I’m sure those sent to probe Comey are drinking beers with him on his deck talking about the good ole days.
RU486.
An old abortion-induction drug promotion, pro-abortion slogan.
BS. It means to eliminate from society i.e. kill. It does not mean the job description of a bouncer.
What a pathetic "explanation".
“...Comey Being Probed...”
I’d bet he’s enjoying that.
If it were a clear resemblance in something natural it could be a joke, you could argue “it’s a subjective interpretation”. This is a deliberately crafted message.
Has anyone else picked up on the Comey glamour-shots being used in the media? Lots of face lift, botox, stuff. Very pillow biter look.
Hope they probe him with a sharp end of a boomstick.
broomstick.
Nothing “subliminal” about it. The author needs to stop making excuses.
There’s more evidence that Comey is in a conspiracy to assassinate President Trump than there ever was for “Russian collusion.”
We need a 5:30 a.m. SWAT Team raid with CNN cameras rolling.
I have never heard the term used to k8ll someone. It means remove and bar. ⁰
Good.
Hope they probe him with a sharp end of a boomstick.
Like Vito in The Sopranos.
There’s been 10-15 8647 threads lately.
You’re not alone in not knowing what 86 means. More than a couple of FReeprs like you were unaware.
That's great news, especially if it is part of Comey having a full body cavity search.
"I'm very concerned for the president's life; we've already seen assassination attempts. I'm very concerned for his life and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this," she said.
Gabbard also said Comey has a lot of influence and that there are "people who take [him] very seriously."
I agree with Director Gabbard that Dirty Cop (meaning corrupt) Comey has likely committed a serious crime, and that there is no valid excuse, including the palpable lie... I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence...It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind...
My, does he think we're so stupid as to accept that whopper?
Your description of that “explanation,” “pathetic,” is, pathetically WRONG!
IT DOES MEAN THE JOB DESCRIPTION OF A BOUNCER!
Get Mike Flynn to probe Comey.
