On April 28, 2026, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted for a second time by the Justice Department, primarily concerning an Instagram post depicting seashells spelling “8647”. Critics and prosecutors alleged the post, referencing “86” (to eliminate) and “47” (President Trump), constituted a threat against the 47th president.
FACT: “86” means to get rid of as in impeach, dethrone, fire. It was clearly NOT a threat on anyone’s life.
Can you imagine arresting someone over a social media post that was probably one of the most benign things anyone could say?
Thinking of all the nasty threats Trump has made against the lives of others, including inciting his minions of J6 to do the same, whom he pardoned, will Trump face indictment once he’s out of office?
If saying “8647” is a death threat, then Trump needs to be jailed for the fact that:
-
He posted a video showing a truck with a hog-tied Biden on the back
He made a statement about imagining guns pointed at Liz Cheney
He once told Mark Espers to shoot protesters in the legs
He wanted political prisoners to be eaten by alligators and suffer
He said the only good Democrat was a dead Democrat
He called for genocide on Easter Sunday
He said Mark Kelly should be punished by death for stating a law
He called for the execution of General Mark Milley
If these idiots go forth with this, and most experts believe it is a ridiculous charge that will be thrown out, Trump SHOULD be sent to jail for life for all the death threats he has made. Let’s hope the congress changes and has the mettle to do it.
Other examples of those who used the expression “86”
– In October 2020, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer appeared in a television interview with a small sign or pin on a table behind her that read “8645”…. Was she indicted? Were these others called into question?
