James Comey's Instagram post sheds light on "The 8647 Movement"
It has been exactly 9 years, 11 months, and 2 days since Donald Trump announced for president in 2015. For 9 years, 11 months, and 1 day, Democrats and their allies have slandered, conspired against, and impeached Trump. They tried to bankrupt him, steal his wealth and destroy his business empire. Perverting, even rewriting, the law, they tried to imprison him, and, yes, they even tried to assassinate him, and still the man stands -- and he's doin' deals like no man before him -- ever!
That upset Big Jim Comey. "8647"
On May 15, 2025, disgraced former FBI Director, James Comey, shared an Instagram photo of seashells on the beach forming a cryptic, "8647." He described it as a "cool shell formation," but later deleted the post after it went viral and sparked outrage. 8647
Comey deleted the post within hours and issued a statement on Instagram:
"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." He denied any violent intent, claiming he was unaware of the numbers’ darker connotations.
8647
So, Comey deleted his post calling for the murder of President Trump claiming he didn't realize "86"ing someone meant to kill them. Are you buying that? The reaction
In American slang, "86" commonly means to "get rid of," "eject," or "remove," originating from 1930s soda counter slang for sold-out items.
It’s common usage, when referring to people is "to kill them. "47," of course is a reference to President Trump. The combined meaning, of "8647" is interpreted as a call to "assassinate" or "murder" Trump.
In the context of of its sensitivity, Comey's post came after Trump survived two assassination attempts in 2024, heightening concerns about threats against the president, prompting immediate investigations by the Secret Service, DHS, and FBI.
Yesterday, in a Fox News interview on May 16, 2025, Trump claimed Comey "knew exactly what that meant" and that "8647" meant "assassination." He dismissed Comey’s explanation, calling him a "dirty cop" and deferred to Attorney General Pam Bondi for further action.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated on X that "Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of POTUS Trump," confirming DHS and Secret Service investigations.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for Comey’s imprisonment, rejecting his claim of ignorance given his FBI background and alleging he issued a "call to action to murder" Trump.
It’s unclear whether Comey will face charges. A "true threat" under U.S. law requires intent to incite imminent violence, which Comey’s vague post may not meet, per legal experts. However, the political climate and Trump’s influence could pressure authorities to act.
A formal letter has been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey.
The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to classified material.
The same Left that spent years crying about “stochastic terrorism” is silent now, but silence isn’t justice. If Comey broke the law, he doesn’t get to hide behind his badge or his politics -- he belongs in handcuffs. "8647" and the law
Whether Comey’s "8647" post is protected speech or a "true threat" hinges on a complex interplay of First Amendment law and context.
Under U.S. law, not all inflammatory speech is prosecutable. For a statement to be a "true threat" unprotected by the First Amendment, it must meet specific criteria, primarily established in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) and Virginia v. Black (2003):
Intent: The speaker must intend to intimidate or incite imminent lawless action. Courts often look at whether the speaker knowingly communicated a threat.
Likelihood: The statement must be likely to produce imminent illegal activity.
Content and Context: The speech must be a clear, unambiguous threat to a reasonable person, considering the full context (e.g., speaker’s history, audience, and timing).
Posts on social media, like Comey’s, are evaluated under this framework, with additional scrutiny from cases like Elonis v. United States (2015), where the Supreme Court ruled that a threat requires the speaker’s awareness that their words would be interpreted as threatening, not just negligence.
You be the judge. Apply the above criteria to what Comey says in this clip.
Comey's ass is grass and he had better lawyer up!
There go Comey's book royalties! The "8647" Movement
Upon investigation, it becomes apparent that "8647" has been on caps, tee-shirts, bumper stickers, and coffee cups, since Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2025, suggesting an immediate and widespread use of "8647" by Democrats shortly after Trump’s second inauguration.
Comey's post has brought "8647" into the public consciousness. It seems as though the whole world is discussing "8647" after Comey's boneheaded post, but there are literally tens of thousands of "8647" bumper stickers and tee shirts being sold. 8647
Amazon listed "8647" tee-shirts for sale on October 22, 2024. This is the earliest explicit date for an "8647" tee-shirt listing, so this threat was initially created during the run-up to the election.
eBay began listing "86 47 Anti Trump 8647 Retro Vintage Style Anti-Trump US T-Shirt" on January 6, 2025. Laughinks first listed the "Subtle 8647 Anti Trump Shirt" on January 21, 2025. AllBluetees "8647 Shirt" was promoted as a "silent yet powerful statement" against Trump, made its debut on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2025.
This confirms merchandise was widespread by May 2025, likely earlier.
Leftist are thrilled to be able to wear a death threat against the President of the United States while hiding behind one of the things they hate most, the 1st Amendment.
These “8647” shirts were spotted at an anti-Trump rally in Holland, Michigan. 8647
And these were seen in Portage, Maine. 8647
You know that members of the Democratic Party aren't going to miss an opportunity like this one. Here's the commie attorney general of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, at an anti-Trump rally in Duluth, railing against Trump while standing next to another Democrat holding a sign with the American flag in the distress configuration with a Trump "8647" death threat printed on it.
8647
The U.S. Flag Code specifically states that the American flag is not to be inverted “except as a signal of dire distress." Evidently, comrade Ellison believes the country is in "dire distress" with Trump at the helm. Ellison had no such concern when we had the non compos mentis Joe Biden napping in the Oval Office.
It appears that Democrats, elected and citizen, know damn well what "8647" means -- and they are delighted to support the idea.
Violent rhetoric from Democrats
Comments from Democrats that can easily be interpreted as calls to action. Calls to attempt a move on the president's life.
Below are three pages of links (that do not work) to the sources of comments made by the most senior members of the Democratic Party that are subtle, and not-so-subtle references to the death of President Donald J. Trump. These are the REAL “threats to democracy.”
The Democrats want Trump dead. They make no bones about it. Now, they're sitting back, waiting for a volunteer.
The absolute sickest part of all of this, is if the "unthinkable" does happen, Democrats and leftist will celebrate. They will not be able to contain their joy.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) began as a joke, but now has evolved into a very real psychological disease. Millions have it.
The Secret Service has no room for DEI-hires anymore. They are facing an unbelievable challenge, because this stuff is only going to get worse. Where we stand
James Comey was escorted to the Washington (DC) field office by Secret Service agents on Friday afternoon for an "interview."
James Comey was questioned and then released by the Secret Service. He was not arrested. He was not perp-walked. Outrageous!
Stay tuned. The Democrats have thrown down the gauntlet. It only gets crazier from here.

This 8647 is an assassination movement planned by the deep state, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Strzok and others.
They need to be apprehended and indicted.
The products need to be banned for incitement of assassination of a sitting President.
Assassination of Trump movement exposed by Freeper (Parker Shannon)PING !
We all know Comey is Insane so nothing will happen to him
Comey deleted the post within hours and issued a statement on Instagram:
this is what these scumbags do, they post, they say, they print and then they retreat but the message is delivered. WHEN DO WE START HOLDING THESE PR##S RESPONSIBLE. Its been years and no one has even been approached. Strok, page, comey, Brennen, rice, holder, hillary, steele you name it they should all be indicted prosecuted and jailed
It is a well written article.
He is basically saying he was too stupid to know what it meant. Or he is a liar and needs to be put on trial for pushing the assassination of President Trump.
For a former FBI director, he’s pretty dumb if he thinks anyone buys that he “just found it” and has no clue what it means🙄
A testament indeed to the power of God to protect and use someone.
We need to continue to be steadfast in prayer for him and his administration.
That video of the deranged Leftists advocating murder is pretty creepy.
Comey
Another Leftist Creepozoid with beachfront property. Apparently, the rising seas of the Globull Climate Hoax will only affect conservative beachfront properties.
“He is basically saying he was too stupid to know what it meant. Or he is a liar and needs to be put on trial for pushing the assassination of President Trump.”
I’d say both.
It took a village to F Trump with Russia Russia Russia.
That village needs to be obliterated..
That’s why we voted for him.
>Likelihood: The statement must be likely to produce imminent illegal activity.
More than proven. In the days prior to the Butler attempt, what did Democrats say? Oooohhhhhhh.
“It’s unclear whether Comey will face charges. A “true threat” under U.S. law requires intent to incite imminent violence, which Comey’s vague post may not meet, per legal experts. However, the political climate and Trump’s influence could pressure authorities to act.”
A high school kid, or even a normal adult, gets a pass on what Comey did.
Comey is NEITHER and unless he has a history of posting pictures of sea shells on beaches, he needs to fry.
Seems logical to me that Comey should be at least held for further extensive questioning. He should by no means be running free..same goes for the other names that were metioned. We’ll never get to the bottom of this without asking a LOT more questions of a lot more people.
Viva frei put out a good video proving comey is lying. Not just that he has been in law enforcement his whole adult life.

I like how the left came around with all of this...”what about all the 8646 merch that was available when Biden was president?”....it must have been a big seller....I’d never heard of it. Almost makes ya wonder who was making/selling it? 🤔
If it was no big deal and he truly did just happen upon it, why did he rush to delete it? Answer, he knew he was wrong. Period.
James 8647 Comey and Gretchen 8645 Whitmer are EVIL. Domestic enemies of America.
