Yesterday, James Comey caused quite the stir when he went on Instagram and posted a picture of a shell formation on the beach — obviously one he made — that spelled out “86 47,” which many interpreted as a threat on President Trump’s life.
Since then, everyone’s been arguing over the definition of “86.” As slang goes, it has a wide variety of uses, some of which are more innocent, such as when you run out of a menu item at a restaurant you “86” it or when you get kicked out of a bar for being too drunk or unruly you’re said to be “86’d.” But it is also been used by the Mafia and the military to refer to killing people, and well, it’s a little harder to swallow that the man who prosecuted the Gambino crime family wasn’t aware of its more sinister meaning.
However, it gets worse than that for Comey. After posting the offending shell photo, the very next post on Instagram was him posting the favorable Publisher’s Weekly review of his third crime novel, out next week. What’s it about, you ask?
Former FBI director Comey (Westport) reunites the protagonists of his first two legal thrillers for his strongest outing yet. U.S. attorney Carmen Garcia is trying to take down Samuel Buchanan, a far-right media personality with a popular podcast vilifying those he thinks are destroying America: intellectuals, immigrants, and people of color. Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the First Amendment when he singled out his enemies by name and suggested “something should be done” about them. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously injuring some of his foes. In a series of…

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The dark side of America is the people respond to publicity stunts and Comey should try to blame his publicist for the idea of the death threat on the beach. Got the Comey book talked about.
I hope Cash and Bondi are going to go after Comey with everything they have and give him no quarter.
Everything will be just vaguely enough that we can’t credibly bring charges - especially in any area controlled by a liberal judge !
Comey knew. If put under oath he would say he forgot. What a jerk.
Actually Comey’s statement on instagram after he took the post down is the smoking gun..he claimed he came across the seashells and thought its a “Political message” so he KNEW it was a political message, well what kind of political message did he think it meant..so yes, he made it himself, he wants Trump dead, heck the ENTIRE left wants Trump dead so what else is knew
I think I’ve seen this plot half a dozen times on LAW & ORDER.
Comey was a hack cop and now he’s a hack writer.
If I was writing a novel, the Saudi Crown Prince would worry that Comey was signaling another Trump assassination plot. He would worry that if they 86 Trump, that would cost him the most supportive President ever, trillions of dollars, and the chance to modernize his Kingdom.
And then the Prince would remember dealing with one very troublesome guy Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi.
And then he would remember Comey is always walking along alone in nature. People sometimes just -vanish- out there. Just ask David Paulides!
And then the Prince smiles slyly and summons his head of of his Intelligence Agency...
This entire thing sounds like some kind of setup. Comey drug several dozen perfectly clean and shells that match in size and color down to the beach and did his little artwork on the spur of the moment?
Sounds like he was looking to get it on the news to me.
Since the democrats claimed that “bullseyes” “targets” and “bloodbath” were direct threats, it follows that 8647 is also a death threat.
He must have implicated his wife. They are suppose to interview his wife too.
Free advertsing!
Comey does not realize that things have changed. That is why the Hate Trumpers must act now to get rid of the man before public opinion of him changes. If he becomes well loved, the Democrats lose big. Winning the Nobel Peace Prize would seal the fate of the Democrat corruption machine. They must act in the next few weeks, I fear. Look to see more “Trump is Hitler” stuff come out. The Democrats must not be permitted to win. The assassins will try to make it look like: A) a lone nut case (like JFK) or B) an Iranian/Russian plot.
Time to turn the tables. Make the process be the punishment as was the case for so many on our side.
With extreme prejudice.
Gitmo needs an FBI wing. Not sure it should be named after James Comey, though.
Maybe just name a sandbox on the prison yard for Comey.
“They are suppose to interview his wife too.”
“It said that we were through
He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?
Oh no, oh no
Oh no-no-no-no-no
(Remember) walkin’ in the sand
(Remember) walkin’ hand in hand”
Comey has already been taken “out”.
The way this is unfolding in the news cycles speaks volumes - he was taken out, perhaps a long time ago, and now is the designated time for “him” and his “outing” to be made public.
(similar to the 9-11 of 2016 collapsing Hillary)
Who’s his publisher?
Book deals are a time tested bribe scheme.
