James Comey indicted again, this time over seashell Instagram post
Trump claimed the "86 47" written in seashells was an "assassination" threat.The new indictment centers on a controversy that erupted nearly a year ago when Comey, in a since-deleted Instagram post, shared a picture showing the numbers "86 47" written in seashells on the beach with the caption "Cool shell formation on my beach walk."
Citing the slang meaning of "86" as to "nix" or "get rid" of something, allies of the president alleged that the post was a veiled threat against Trump, and the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service quickly launched investigations into the posts.
When asked about the post last year, Trump suggested that Comey should be prosecuted over the post, which Trump alleged was a call "for the assassination of the president."
Pathetic.
