Many on the internet are furious after James Comey just posted a picture of shells on a beach that spell out “86 47” which could easily be interpreted as a call to take out or get rid of President Donald Trump.
Especially considering the assassination attempts on Trump already, FBI Director Kash Patel needs to pay Comey a visit. Donald Trump Jr. posted to X:
“Just James Comey causally calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented!!!!”

This is a developing story with possible updates to come.
Liberal influencers are already mirroring Comey’s apparent/alleged call to violence:

President Trump fired James Comey during his first term as president. Comey has been bitter ever since.
An argument can be made that this would provide motive for Comey to make such a veiled threat. During a time of such heightened violence and division, Comey should know better than to do something like this, even if he tries to play it off as unserious or lighthearted.
Additionally, the current FBI should take it as a serious threat.
“James Comey apparently threatened President Trump to pump up book sales. This is despicable!”
The relationship between James Comey and Donald Trump was marked by tension and pivotal moments that shaped political history. Comey, as FBI Director, was a career prosecutor and law enforcement official known for his independence. Trump, a businessman-turned-president, took office in January 2017 with a leadership style that often clashed with institutional norms. Their interactions began cordially but quickly soured. In early 2017, Comey was overseeing the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including potential ties to Trump’s campaign. Trump reportedly sought loyalty from Comey, asking him during a private dinner to pledge allegiance, which Comey refused, citing the FBI’s independence. Comey also briefed Trump on the unverified Steele dossier, which alleged compromising ties between Trump and Russia, further straining their rapport.
The breaking point came with the Hillary Clinton email investigation. In July 2016, Comey had recommended no charges against Clinton but criticized her handling of classified emails. In October, he reopened the probe days before the election, a move some argued damaged Clinton’s campaign. Trump initially praised Comey’s actions, but after taking office, he grew frustrated with Comey’s refusal to publicly clear him in the Russia probe. On May 9, 2017, Trump fired Comey, citing the Clinton investigation as the reason, though many saw it as an attempt to obstruct the Russia inquiry. The dismissal, recommended by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, sparked outrage and led to Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel to investigate Russian interference and potential obstruction of justice.
Comey’s firing became a flashpoint. He later testified before Congress, detailing Trump’s pressure to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser. Comey’s memos, leaked to the press, prompted Mueller’s probe to examine whether Trump’s actions constituted obstruction. Trump denied Comey’s allegations, calling him a liar and a leaker. The feud played out publicly, with Comey’s 2018 memoir, A Higher Loyalty, criticizing Trump’s leadership as mob-like, while Trump branded Comey a “slimeball” on social media. Their clash encapsulated broader tensions between Trump’s unconventional presidency and the independence of federal institutions, fueling debates about the rule of law that persisted beyond Trump’s first term.

One thing we should all understand… these people are desperate and have absolutely no means to communicate other than covert plausible deniable ways.
