WASHINGTON — Former FBI Director James Comey taunted Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to “bone up on the rules” as he stares down the second indictment against him and once again stood by his decision to reopen the Hillary Clinton email probe in late 2016.
Comey, who was indicted late last month for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump in a May 2025 Instagram post calling for “86 47,” chided Blanche for telling the public the case is about more than that social media post.
“I don’t talk about the case because the federal court rules require you not,” Comey told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I would urge the acting attorney general to bone up on the rules.”
The number “86” is often used as slang for getting rid of something, while the number “47” refers to the 47th president, Donald Trump, according to prosecutors.
Comey quickly deleted the post after it ignited a firestorm.
A judge tossed out a prior indictment against Comey last year for allegedly making false statements to Congress. The DOJ slapped the second one against him last month.
The former FBI boss also slammed the Justice Department as “seriously broken at the top” but implored lower-level people to remain at the DOJ.
“I have great confidence in the people down below who are just trying to hang on. And I’m urging them, hang on,” he said. “In two and a half years, and then we can rebuild these institutions. But we need good people in those roles. America does.”

I'd love to see this smug SOB in a orange jumpsuit and in prison for about 25 years.
And Comey just keeps providing more evidence of malice, assuring his conviction.
I’d say they are pretty close to filing espionage charges against Comeyturd.
James Comey’s mouth will be his undoing.
Comey must be double jointed , he keeps biting himself in the a$$.
I bet his lawyers are ready to quit.
( Likley Hispanic lefty druig cartel lawyers who say, “ Senor Comey, Jus’ chut up !”)
I keep hearing that there are two grand juries meeting in Florida. I hope that is true. But, if we don’t see something before mid-summer, then I think it will be too late to make a difference. The same goes for inflation and the economy. We need a drastic reversal in the next 3 months. If not, everything else Trump has done over the past two years will be for naught.
Side note: Why is my computer suddenly typing some words in all caps and also capitalizing some words mid-sentence? Does anyone know how I can fix that?
James, it’s one thing to open an investigation, it’s another to lie, cheat, steal and manipulate the process……. Then when you can’t prove in a court of law, turn it over to the Democrats in Congress to create a political witch hunt, using your conveniently generated “evidence“….
His BLACK HEART TOO !
Comey is a jackass. He should be in prison.
Computer issues:
Is your caps-lock key glitching and getting stuck?
Signs like this are very dangerous and ominous for the USA
The DOJ/FBI is effectively “America’s KGB” in that it is the top intelligence, prosecutorial and lawfare agency of the bloated, leftist American government. Its perceived role is to spy on everybody and maintain central government political / ideological control. its powers are massive and it is highly unaccountable.
Now you have the former head of “our KGB” involved in a public political attack on an elected President.
Imagine what people would say if we saw the same conflict between President and head of public security agency at the highest levels coming from Russia, China or elsewhere?
Analysts would be waiting for civil war to break out at any moment.
ALSO, let's see ANTHONY WEINER'S LAPTOP while we're at it. Was he a MOSSAD agent?
So YOU’RE the dipshit that started the all caps thing?! I heard it’s a BOOMER THING.
He just doesn’t know when to stop.
