Ex-FBI director indicted over seashell Instagram post
Ars Technica·
Former FBI Director James Comey faces a new indictment, this time in North Carolina, based on an Instagram post featuring seashells arranged to read '86 47.' Prosecutors allege this image constitutes a threat to the President of the United States, interpreting the '86 47' as a threat to '86' (remove) the 47th President. This legal action stems from a long-standing animosity between Comey and former President Trump. Critics, including legal blogs, have decried the indictment as a new low for the Department of Justice, suggesting it reflects a pattern of politically motivated prosecutions and an abuse of governmental power.
