James Comey's Controversial Shell Photo

  • 📸 Former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo of shells on a beach that spelled "8647" on Instagram, with a caption about a "cool shell formation."
  • 💡 The number "86" is slang for "to throw out" or "get rid of," leading some Trump supporters to interpret it as a call for Donald Trump's assassination.
  • ⚠️ Comey apologized, stating he didn't realize the number's association with violence and opposes it, subsequently taking down the post.

Reactions and Investigations

  • 🗣️ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for Comey to be jailed, expressing concern for the president's life and stating Comey should be held accountable before any investigation.
  • ⚖️ The video contrasts this with how free speech rights typically cover criticism of the president, even if it includes wishing them eliminated, unless actual plans or weapons are involved.

  • 🏛️ The video criticizes Gabbard's logic, arguing that if Trump's support means he cannot be removed, then current polls showing disapproval should lead to his removal.
  • 🎤 Donald Trump told Fox News that Comey's post clearly meant assassination and called Comey a "dirty cop."
  • ⚖️ Trump stated the decision on what to do about Comey would be up to the Justice Department, noting Comey's history.
