James Comey being investigated by the Secret Service

I have zero reason to believe the unknowingly part Quite the opposite
so I can understand... You think his intent was to deliberately sabotage Hillary's campaign in order for Trump to win the 2016 election ?

You know I love you like a brother, but that's a bridge too far for me...
 
I'm not even understanding the theory of the case. Let's suppose 86 47 was referring to some sort of violence against the president. So? I do not think a seashell ornament alone is a threat. It is not an exhortation.

I think he thought that Hilary had it essentially wrapped up and he thought he'd make the FBI look like they were doing everything 110% completely above board. He thought he could have his cake and eat it too.

And then we learned the cake was rotten and full of MAGAts.
 
“… In an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Trump said Comey knew exactly what he was doing—despite his assertion that it was an innocent shell formation.

“He knew what that meant. A child knows what that meant,” Trump said. “If you’re FBI director and don’t know what that meant, that meant assassination and it says it loud and clear.

“He wasn’t very competent but competent enough to know what that meant. He did it for a reason and he was hit so hard because people like, they like what was happening with our country, the country has become respected again and he is calling for the assassination of the president.”

Baier brought up Comey’s apology. “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message,” Comey, whom Trump fired in 2017, said after deleting the snap.

“I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but l oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.”

… Baier asked what the president would like to see happen as a consequence of the post. He said he’s leaving that up to his lieutenants.

“I don’t want to take a position on it, it will be up to [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] and all the great people,” Trump said. “I will say, I think it is a terrible thing.

“When you add his history to that, if he had a clean history, he doesn’t, he’s a dirty cop. If he had a clean history, I could understand if there was leniency, I will let them make that decision.” …”

Yeah, he was so anxious to get ahead of this story and then found it was just a big nothing burger...

 
86 a guy is Mob speak - take him 8 miles out of town and bury him 6 feet under. Comey, as former head of the FBI of course, is well aware of this. Doesn't the guy have better things to do than make posts at the beach on social media about a boss that fired him eight years ago? TDS much?

I don't think it's a criminal offense but, at the very least, he should be interviewed by the Secret Service to make sure he's "ok."

It's more the silly reactions than the trivial picture.

He didn't rush the capital, beat capital police, take a shit on anyone's desk...

Oh wait those are ok, trump pardoned them, but now a, natural I'm sure 😉, grouping of sea shells is cause for an investigation.

This administration has no superior in terms of blind loyalty.
 
He was instrumental in unknowingly costing Hillary the 2016 election and he will have to wear the hair shirt for that until he is passing into non-existence... aka dying

Despite his foibles, I have some sympathy for him because I believe he is a decent man...
Same. He f’ed up and while he can never redeem himself for that, he has stood up to Trump since then.

Trump is an existential threat and I have never understood people on the left who dismiss and criticize Republicans who stand up to Trump. We are lost without allies on the right. Like it or not, their support carries a lot more weight than ours. No matter what their past is like, we should embrace people who have moved away from the dark side, even those whose motives are not purely altruistic.

We fought on the same side as Stalin for goodness sakes and it was for the better of humanity.

If we continue to harass people on the right who oppose Trump we won’t get more of them. Just dumb and shortsighted.

The best example is when people criticize Lincoln Project founders.

It was stupid of Comey to post this.

Doesn't Trump have better things to do than post about Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen?

Hello politics 2025! Everything everyday is blown out of proportion and beat to death by BOSIDES on social media and on cable TV. Isn't this about the 5th day we've been talking about "the plane"?

Good point, although Trump was "counterpunching" against Springsteen as is typical for him. Trump hasn't said anything about Comey in ages so I don't understand his out of the blue 86 post.

You got me on Taylor. No idea where Trump's post about her came from. He typically doesn't go after people unless they go after him.

He should be interviewed by the Secret Service for posting a picture of shells he found on the beach ? Seriously ?

I have been wearing an 86 45 tee shirt since 2018... should the Secret Service interview me ?

That absolutely is not the common use of 86. Is that how you think the people were using the term when they said 8646, as NYCfan cited above
