Comey Indicted Over Instagram Photo Threat
The Verge·
Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the Department of Justice over an Instagram post. The indictment, filed in North Carolina, centers on a photo of seashells Comey shared last May, which he allegedly used to threaten President Donald Trump. The DOJ claims the arrangement of shells, forming the numbers "8647," could be interpreted as a serious threat. The phrase "eighty-six" is noted as slang for "get rid of" or "throw out," suggesting a potential intent to harm. This legal action stems from the interpretation of the visual message posted on the social media platform.
