Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted over an Instagram photo he posted of seashells, which Trump administration officials are calling a threat to the president. The Department of Homeland Security investigated Comey, who has long been a Trump target, over the May 2025 Instagram post, even subjecting him to questioning by the Secret Service. Comey had deleted the post, saying it never occurred to him that it would be interpreted as being violent. "Eighty-six" is a term commonly used in restaurants when an item is sold out, and it's also informally used to mean "cancel" or "get rid of." Last May, Comey said that he assumed the shells that he saw on a beach walk were "a political message," and that he "didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," adding that he opposed violence "of any kind." #jamescomey #donaldtrump #trump #socialmedia #politics
