Federal authorities are investigating former FBI Director James Comey over a social media post conservatives say contained a hidden call for violence against President Trump. The controversy erupted after Comey shared a photo of seashells arranged as “86 47” during a beach walk, sparking fury across right-wing circles.
Republicans immediately sounded the alarm, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem declaring the post a direct threat against America’s 47th president. Trump allies blasted Comey for using coded language they claim promotes assassination – pointing to slang interpretations of “86” as a violent call to eliminate the commander-in-chief.
Comey hastily deleted the post and claimed ignorance, insisting he “opposes violence of any kind.” But conservatives aren’t buying it. Donald Trump Jr. led the charge, accusing the disgraced ex-FBI chief of crossing a dangerous line while exploiting his government experience to veil threats.
The numbers controversy taps into deep conservative distrust of Comey, remembered for his mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email probe and anti-Trump leaks. Critics argue this latest stunt proves Comey remains obsessed with sabotaging Trump’s leadership long after leaving office.
Law enforcement agencies are taking the matter seriously. The Secret Service and FBI have launched reviews amid growing pressure from GOP leaders. Current FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed coordination between agencies, signaling this isn’t just another social media spat but a potential federal case.
Congressional Republicans are demanding accountability. Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles urged immediate investigations, calling the post “reckless and suggestive.” Many grassroots conservatives view the probe as overdue justice for a bureaucrat they believe has skirted consequences for years.
Democrats and liberal media outlets dismiss the uproar as conspiracy theorizing, but patriots know better. This incident exposes the toxic mentality festering among DC elites who still refuse to accept Trump’s rightful presidency. Letting it slide would embolden more radical behavior.
As investigators dig, Americans await answers. The Comey saga reinforces conservative beliefs about a “deep state” out to destroy Trump at all costs. Whether charges follow or not, this episode has further galvanized the right’s fight to protect their president from shadowy enemies.
