Dan Bongino Slams James Comey Over Alleged Trump Assassination Threat

James Comey's Controversial Social Media Post

• 🎯 James Comey is accused of posting a message that was interpreted as a threat to kill President Trump, using the term "86" which is slang for killing someone.
• 🔍 Comey later claimed he was unaware of the term's meaning, despite his 30 years in law enforcement and experience with mobsters.
• ⚠️ The post was quickly deleted, which is seen as an admission of guilt or a mistake by many.

Government Response and Investigation

• 🚨 The Secret Service and DHS are investigating the post as a potential threat to the President.
• 🏛️ Comey was reportedly taken in for questioning at the Department of Homeland Security headquarters.
• 🤝 The Trump administration is praised for its swift and firm response, not backing down or apologizing.

Legal Implications and Accusations

• ⚖️ The video references 18 U.S. Code § 871, which makes public threats against the President a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
• 🗣️ Dan Bongino is highlighted for his strong criticism of Comey, calling him a "rotten sob" and the "chief architect of the deep state."
• 📉 Bongino suggests that Comey's actions have brought shame to the FBI and that he and Director Wray have spent significant time cleaning up messes left by Comey.

Broader Context and Comparisons

• ⚡ The situation is compared to the treatment of Michael Flynn, who allegedly was entrapped and persecuted under Comey's tenure.
• 🕵️ Concerns are raised about "sleeper cells" or "splinter cells" within law enforcement who might be influenced by figures like Comey.
• 🎤 The video notes the massive viral attention the incident has received, with millions of views and significant engagement.

Potential Legal Pitfalls for Comey

• 🤥 Comey's claim of ignorance is seen as a potential perjury trap, as evidence may emerge proving he knew the meaning of "86."
