Former FBI director James Comey had another anti-Trump shell moment before Thursday's Instagram post to show the shell to show “86 47,” a message that White House officials were swiftly accused of attempts to incite “hits” against the 47th president.
Comey posted a photo of one big shell painted blue with the word “voting Harris.” “Ariel understands the challenge,” he added. Clearly a reference to the protagonist of Disney's “The Little Mermaid.”
Comey's trend of posting images of political messages on the beach puts him in some hot water after the Secret Service said he was sending agents to investigate Comey and interview him.
You can't underestimate the 'danger' of Comey's Trump Post,” warns Tarsi Gabbard.

Shortly after posting the image, Comey dropped it and then admitted the issue and posted another post.
“I posted some photos of some shells I saw on my beach walk before, and I thought this was a political message,” Comey said in a later post. “I didn't realize that some people were linking those numbers to violence. It never happened to me, but I stolen the post because I'm against any kind of violence.”

The FBI, who worked before Comey was fired by Trump in his first term, did not comment on the issue, but it was also clear that top-level agents knew about the post. Trump's new FBI director, Kash Patel, confirmed on X in his own statement shared on X, that agency officials are “recognized” of Comey's posts.
Trump addressed Comey's “8647”: “He knew exactly what it meant.”
“We're in touch with Secret Service and Director Karan,” Patel said. “The main jurisdiction lies in the SS on these issues and the FBI provides all the necessary support.”

Comey's Instagram post on Thursday was thoroughly criticised for working to blow away political violence, including the president.
“There's no doubt James Comey hated Donald Trump,” Ted Cruz said. “There is no doubt that the extreme rhetoric from the left contributes to the atmosphere of violence.”
“If the right wing posts this against the left, all hell will unleash. But the left is silent because it's James Comey, the man who weaponized the FBI against President Trump,” said Tennessee Republican Andy Ogres. “That's not acceptable. The left invented the term “stochastic terrorism” to chase after conservatives whenever they expressed a strong opinion. ”
The former FBI chief appears to be prone to posting his political trends on social media. The Instagram post recently contained an animated image called “Trans People Beer” on March 31, but in February Comey posted a “message from a former colleague” that is believed to be targeted at Republicans and President Trump.

“These people are just too weak to stand up, some evil, most of them, but the need for your work will remain,” the Post said. “Don't let the bad person's darkness steal the joy of public service,” he added.
