Comey indicted by DOJ for instagram pic of seashells

This is getting ridiculous. They've really got too much time on their hands. Hey guys! Here's something for ya: "Fuck Trump!" Will they now come after me for sexual assault? Hell I'll even spell it out in seashells if you want. Bring it bitches!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Justice Department secured an indictment Tuesday charging former FBI Director James Comey with threatening the life of President Donald Trump by posting a photo of seashells on Instagram.

The two-count indictment, posted Tuesday afternoon, alleges that a reasonable person would interpret the image of the shells, arranged to spell out “86 47,” as “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States."

Justice Department attorneys sought the indictment in the Eastern District of North Carolina, where Comey has a beach house and where he posted the beach scene photo. The Department of Homeland Security previously investigated Comey, who has long been a Trump target, over the May Instagram post, even subjecting him to questioning by the Secret Service.

Comey had deleted the post, saying it never occurred to him that it would be interpreted as being violent. "Eighty-six" is a term commonly used in restaurants when an item is sold out, and it's also informally used to mean "cancel" or "get rid of."

In a subsequent Instagram post in May, Comey said that he assumed the shells he saw on a beach walk were "a political message" and that he "didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," adding that he opposed violence "of any kind."

Comey said in a video posted after his indictment that he was innocent, that he was not afraid and that he still believed in the independent judiciary.

"They're back," he said of the Trump administration. "This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it."

Comey said it was very important to remember that "this is not who we are as a country, this is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be."---- https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice...rcna247022

Anyone making threats to a sitting president is going to face charges. And the powerful elite should be no exception.

LOL Maybe they should arrest the seashells then. Comey didn't himself arrange them. Do you know what "86" even means?

Comey's a known liar.

Prove it.

Heck, that's last year's stuff. Maybe all the suspects stretching back a decade who suggested the idea -- Kathy Griffin with the severed head. The media apparently considers Trump to be invincible, though (no POTUS has survived or dodged major injury over three attempts), so they're going to continue to regard assassination humor as okay. (As they would the jocular spectacle of someone shooting at Superman.)

The original indictment for lying to Congress was dismissed in November 2025 because the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was found to be unlawfully appointed. However, the case was dismissed "without prejudice," meaning the DOJ is legally allowed to refile the charges.

You cannot prove he just found those seashells like that.

You're the one claiming he didn't and is lying about it. So back it up with evidence. If you can't then STFU..

Yep..it's a pic from a year ago. As if scouring Comey's past instagram photos wasn't itself agenda-laden. It only proves their being totally reactionary from the last assassination attempt with no ethical or legal rationale for it at all. What's offensive/prosecutable for Trump & Co. comes and goes with the winds of change I guess. Or else with whatever latest Trump blunder they suddenly need to distract the media from.

Again, if you could read, you'd know I didn't make that claim. I only said he's a known liar. Maybe you don't know that, but you're really gullible.

It actually proves that Pam Bondi was dragging her feet, and now that shes gone, the DOJ is prosecuting the case.

Bondi's Tenure: Reports indicate Trump was unsatisfied with Pam Bondi’s pace in pursuing charges against Comey and other targets, which was one factor in her being fired.
New Leadership: Following Bondi's firing, Todd Blanche took over as Acting Attorney General and accelerated the prosecutions of Trump's targets.

So since your claiming that means he is lying now has no evidence to back it up, then it is you who is lying. So STFU..
