(CNN) — Former FBI Director James Comey was interviewed by US Secret Service agents at their Washington, DC, field office on Friday afternoon, according to law enforcement sources.
Comey was interviewed by agents investigating a social media post he posted Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out “86 47,” which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency.
Comey was not in custody and appeared voluntarily, a source said.
Trump and fellow Republicans have attacked Comey for the post, demanding an investigation.
Comey “knew exactly what that meant,” Trump said in a Fox News interview. “A child knows what that meant. If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant, that meant assassination.”
In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had “posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message.”
It was expected that Comey will be asked if he intended the message as a threat, or to inspire others who might consider an act of violence against Trump, the source said. Ultimately, a decision on whether the case is chargeable as a threat against the president may lie with the US attorney in Washington.
“The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement to CNN. “We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI Director and we take rhetoric like this very seriously.

They are going to interview his wife now.
They should interview his daughter she still works for the doj
Whoever made that anonymous statement miminimizing the seriousness of the threat needed to be ferreted out and fired from the Secret Service.
They should hold him in detention while they figure out what crimes to charge him with.
(see my tagline)
CNN - No thanks. Sleeping with the enemy.
The gaslight press considers the words "anonymous" and "imaginary" to be synonyms.
Is it even a real picture or could it be a photoshop?
So you don’t think it’s important to know what lies they’re telling today that half the country believes?
“ Since those were the only shells in the picture it shows he did it. Not that anyone wondered.”
He did this prior to the election too. A Kamala for President or something close to that. What an idiot he is.
Seems like Comey wanted some attention, so now, he’s got it.
So Clintonesq Normandy beach, Should have done it with drones
They went after Sarah for targeting when she only put a target on AZ-4.
Did they get pizza and beers?
Now that makes a lot of not a bit of sense.
Look at the picture, the shells cannot have been been placed by chance, and the color, not by chance.

He did it, he is lying , but don’t hold your breath, nothing will happen to him.
When Comey got on tv and said Hillary Clinton committed crimes but no one would prosecute her, I took my Dress Blue and Class A uniforms and threw them in the middle of the street.
I defended a country where the laws are for everyone.
He can go to hell.
They should fire her immediately
