James Comey posted an image of some shells he saw on a beach and is now being investigated by the FBI.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/politics/comey-inte...Clearly, assuming he knew what "8647" could imply - "get rid of", "dump", "ditch", "abandon" Trump, there is nothing to see here. Even if it
could be implausibly interpreted to mean "kill Trump", there is no case to be made here against Comey.

Former FBI Director James Comey was escorted by US Secret Service agents to their Washington Field Office on Friday afternoon for an interview, according to law enforcement sources.
Comey will be interviewed by agents investigating a social media post he posted Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out “86 47,” which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency, according to the law enforcement source.
Comey is not in custody and is appearing voluntarily, the source said.
Trump and fellow Republicans have attacked Comey for the post, demanding an investigation.
Comey “knew exactly what that meant,” Trump said in a Fox News interview. “A child knows what that meant. If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant, that meant assassination.”
In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had “posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message.”
