James Comey indicted over seashell photo

newsApr 28, 202612115,858

The Department of Justice indicted former FBI Director James Comey in North Carolina after prosecutors said a now-deleted social-media photo of seashells arranged to read '86 47' threatened President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors filed two felony counts charging Comey with threatening to kill the president and secured a federal arrest warrant. This is Comey's second federal indictment, and it tests how prosecutors will apply statutes against presidential threats to symbolic or cryptic social-media posts.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

Is it just a coincidence that the DOJ indicted James Comey today after a judge ruled that his daughter Maurene Comey’s termination lawsuit can move forward? 🤔 Probably just a coincidence, huh? Probably also just a coincidence that she was a lead prosecutor on the Epstein case too.

"Speaker Stansbury" would sound so much better than "Speaker Jeffries"

Toe Beans23

The goal is not conviction of any of these stupid charges. The goal is the exhaustion of both finances & physical/mental health. This was trump's MO either side of the court. Keep filing, keep waiting till the last min, keep sueing, keep charging, keep threatening, keep denying.

Grijsje22

Trump should thank James Comey on his bare knees for giving him the 2016 election victory by announcing the FBI was going to re-investigate Hillary Clinton’s emails concerning Benghazi.

Vera J Scarlotti17

When will this ugly chapter of our lives be over. I'm so sick of these corrupt people.

P Collirigger10

The DOJ is very responsive to the President's retribution orders.

7r-ick.bsky.social10

And as for Trump: his refusal to mitigate coronavirus, which led to the deaths of over 1 mil Americans, his cuts in USAID, which has led to the deaths of nearly 1 mil Africans, his bombing of an Iranian girls school, citizen Pretti - dead, citizen Good - dead and still, Trump remains a free man.

upchuck66.bsky.social9

I’d forgotten about his daughter’s termination lawsuit moving forward. Thank you for the reminder. No, most assuredly, no coincidence that he was indicted today.

David7

I think that Trumps revenge tour is a bad look for the executive branch. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/how-...

JDWeil7

Probably just a coincidence that Comey is being indicted after the WHCD was so understaffed with security that guests cracked jokes about it on a live mic, and then an assassin shows up shooting, just after Karoline Leavitt cracked a joke about there definitely being shots fired tonight in the room.

Time to call her to testify

Hittielove24

Everything leads back to Epstein.

Dr. Tea, Cake, & Revolution.4

Maurene can use the fact of this indictment and its timing to strengthen her case.

Mike HeXt4

This blatant weaponization and corruption needs to be dealt with via impeachment. Mike Johnson needs to be removed. He is not doing his job.

NonViolet4

I was wondering why he was suddenly seething about Comey again after all this time.

timbo6.bsky.social4

BetTrump is flipping out. Comey’s daughter was very involved in the Epstein case + most likely has information regarding his involvement. TACO is desperate these days. Started war that he can’t stop.No one wants his ballroom, can’t pass a budget +inflation keeps going up.Hope he enjoys the King!

𝕄𝕒𝕕𝕝𝕪 𝕄𝕪𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕗 🤪3

I’m outta the loop. Today has been busy. So, OK what? They indicted Comey AGAIN? This is getting obnoxious.

theplebtrader.bsky.social3

Nope it’s all corruption and nobody is doing anything to stop it. No law enforcement, no fbi agents , no state police. Not one single person has the balls to arrest people that break the law. Instead they are arresting people that didn’t break the law.

Jim Scott3

Hmm... wasn't it Trump who said the DOJ was weaponized against him? I think we need to stop being distracted with Iran, gas prices, cost of living... and full court press on the Epstein files.

We live in a world where Trump can post this, but James Comey apparently gets indicted for laying out some seashells saying 8647 and then apologizing and deleting the image.

Strawberry Girl 🍓47

And Comey DIDN’T lay them out…he came upon them while walking on the beach! All he did was take a photo and post it.

mattyjam.bsky.social16

1/. "86" is an American slang term meaning to get rid of, discard, cancel, or refuse service to someone or something. It is predominantly used in the restaurant industry to indicate an item is out of stock, or to ban a customer from the premises. Common synonyms include nix, discard, eject, remove,

duffmid.bsky.social10

If we somehow survive this daily barrage of shite, and reach the other side with most of our sanity intact, people need to appreciate their own mental fortitude.

Lon Taylor8

Bonkers. The organized rhetoric against Trump and his goons doesn’t come close to their daily lying, grifting, treachery, lawless and hypocrisy.

Cardgrrl8

Not at all clear he laid them out himself. If I recall correctly he came across them on a beach.

Al Stewart6

amazon has a ton of 86 47 merchandise, what is that idiotic, acting AG going to do about it www.amazon.com/s?k=86+47&cr...

Derek6

Comey shouldn’t have apologized. I don’t think 86 meant violence. It could refer to impeachment or other nonviolent ways of removal from office.

woodentent.bsky.social6

Never mind Trump's obscenely racist monkey post. Is this all he has time for? No wonder Europeans are angry at us. I'm angry, too.

Trump also threatened a genocide like three weeks ago, but yea let's talk about seashells. What are we even doing?

Michael Wolfe4

You gotta use the encoded version people.

JoanHaskins64

I think that Trump should personally be responsible for reimbursing anyone who has to put up their own personal money to defend themselves against claims that are bogus.

Praying 🇵🇸Palestine🇵🇸 PIN=🧵 🇺🇦Ukraine🇺🇦4

He didn’t even do it! He and his wife came across it when walking the beach! He just took a photo and posted on instagram

CatCmdr14

We could follow the dictates of the French Revolution on punishment…I mean, Donnie wants firing squads. So, how should we punish pdfiles, who are child rapists? Just a thought, along the lines of trump’s ideas. Would he approve? I think so 🤔

This has to be too much even for MAGA, right? Right??!! Riiight...? 😬

gibbyretired.bsky.social4

The President urged on a gang of misfits to overthrow the election, they savaged police officers, a noose was made “Hang Mike Pence” was threatened, “Where’s Nancy” was a rally call.Trump watched it go down.Then he pardoned all the acts/actors. He condoned those threats to kill a VP, and Pelosi.

Did Comey actually handle the seashells? Are there witnesses? Was the grand jury made up of paid butt smoochers? Nothing is safe any longer. I am very guarded when posting on sites with my actual name.

And are we even sure that Comey placed the shells in that formation? Indicted for a photo.

I blame the Congress and media for giving Trump and Israel a pass.

Comey’s attorneys will put that photo up on a BIG screen and point it right at the jury :-)

Trump, like all of MAGA, has absolutely zero self awareness.

Also, "86" means cancel or stop. It's commonly used across many industries.

proudcanadian151.bsky.social2

I understood that Comey didn’t lay out the seashells, but only took a picture of it and posted it

They don't want equal justice or equal treatment under the law, it case that wasn't clear by now.

letthem1968.bsky.social2

What is wrong with this guy? He is a complete embarrassment. It’s just amazing how one is filled with that negativity, hate and resentment.

pgregg2

Mehdi, Comey DID NOT lay out the sea shells. He & his wife saw this while walking on the beach. Please do better with the facts as you preach to other journalists. Thanks.

Jon Bordeaux2

Replying because I honestly don't remember. Wasn't Comey's story that he was taking a walk and came across the shells, was tickled by it, and took a photo for the 'gram? I could be wrong, but I don't think he even laid the shells out. Either way, it'd be fun to prove that in court.

Velvet Vixen ♡2

That's quite the statement on that truck tailgate. The political imagery is definitely striking. 🤔

Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”123

Asked a former federal prosecutor for their thoughts on the Comey seashells by the seashore case and they said “It’s so dumb I honestly have trouble articulating it.” Then they said it seemed like something from @theonion.com, not from the Justice Department. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

John Brinckman17

Comey's Motion to Dismiss needs to include the following: Trump publically announced that Senator Mark Kelly should be "executed". Unlike "8647", the word "executed" is not ambiguous!

apricity11

Comey committed no crime. He'll extract himself from this predicament. He always does. Every time Comey's name comes up, I get upset about what he did on October 28, 2016. He breached the protocol, broke all the rules and, as result, was instrumental in placing Putin's asset in our White House.

Those of us who foresaw Trump retribution campaign aren’t just ashamed of the DOJ but of the 78 million voters who fell for his con.

xdeflector.bsky.social3

It was a photo he posted on IG. No where does it say he himself put the shells there and no way to prove he put them there. Comey deleted the post and apologized. It's another losing case for DOJ.

What's disturbing is a Grand Jury was bonkers enough to return a true bill.

“threaten the president via seashells” 😂

jhcannon.bsky.social2

Remember that it only takes a simple majority of grand jurors to indict after hearing only the government‘s case. At trial all 12 jurors must be unanimous after hearing all of the evidence, including cross-examination of the governments witnesses.

Jim Bellefeuille2

With Trump and Todd Blanche, it’s not getting a guilty verdict, it’s causing James Comey pain and money. The dregs of our society are the ones with the money. The whole administration deserves the guillotine

sirdoodles649.bsky.social2

When this case is thrown out of court just like the first, Comey should sue tRumPf for 10 million dollars for malicious, false, frivolous, and defamatory wrongful prosecution.

Bill W. Smith, Jr. aka Donal, Bludwyng2

The first judge that this indictment appears before will throw it out and probably sanction Blanche for bringing it.

Hopefully DOJ prosecutors will get a shellacking by the judge.

aubrey333.bsky.social13

Back in the day, when someone was 86’d it meant they got kicked out of a bar for drunken and/or disorderly behavior. Just sayin’.

The crazy part is this image circulated wildly everywhere along with hundreds of other "8647" ones. 🙄

barkleytess.bsky.social11

86 is bar talk to remove from premises ! Has Nothing to do about violence. This administration is grasping for straws, arrests someone then try to find something they did wrong to justify.

Chris Becke (aka BeckePhysics)11

Clearly, Comey was set to visit Hungary postal code 8657, Balatonmáriafürdő, a resort on the shores of Lake Balaton Or a celebration of asteroid / minor body 8647 (1995 SV2) located in the main asteroid belt Or a secret agent mash-up: Agent 86 (Maxwell Smart) and Agent 47 (from the Hitman games)

The insanity of it all. This Department of Injustice is making a mockery of our judicial system. This must end!

Silvija (still) stands with Ukraine8

I couldn't agree more; I also largely blame Comey for Clinton losing the election, but I detest this type of injustice by Trump's DOJ even more.

‘The three-page indictment states that the seashells were “arranged in a pattern making out ‘86 47’, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.”’ #Comey #Trump #DOJ

Alt National Park Service277

The 86 is old slang for “get rid of,” and 47 is seen as a reference to Trump, the 47th president. Comey faces charges of making a threat against the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce each carrying up to 10 years in prison.

I’m BLACK & I’m proud-say it loud…13

Who are these ppl on these grand juries? We already know the DoJ is incompetent. If this is a portend of our future we are in trouble. When they vote for this type of charge to go forth it’s says they are settling into fascism just fine.

It should be interesting to see them argue that a term which is clearly from the food service industry somehow suddenly implies murder.

HERE ARE THE FACTS. The term "86" means "we are out of this." FACT. I worked in a restaurant in college and the "86 Board" was what we were out of. Meaning if we "86" Key Lime Pie, we don't have any. IT IS NOT A THREAT TO KILL THE RETRIBUTION MORON.

86 means “we are out of”. Ie if we are out of mashed potatoes you would say “86 the mashed potatoes “. Take it off the menu? Doesn’t sound like an assassin
