We can now report some more specifics on the latest indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, this time over alleged threats against President Trump.
The post reads in full:
“Today, a grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of North Carolina returned an indictment against James Comey on two counts.”
Count one: Knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States
Count two: Knowingly and willfully transmitting an interstate commerce of communication that contained a threat to kill the President of the United States
“It’s fair to say that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime; threatening the life of the President of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice.”
A U.S. Department of Justice press release has more specifics:
The Indictment includes two counts, first in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 871, alleging that James Comey, 65, knowingly and willfully made a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States. This charge alleges that on May 15, 2025, by publicly posting an image over the internet via Instagram depicting “86 47”, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.
The Indictment also charges Comey in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), that James Comey consciously disregarded a substantial risk that his communication would be viewed as threatening violence, and that he knowingly transmitted a communication in interstate commerce that contained a threat to injure the person of another, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to a person.
Sounds like a crazy situation with the seashell threat. Wonder how this all plays out for Comey in NC.
I would love to see that lying piece of shit in federal prison.
