The U.S. Department of Justice has secured a new federal indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, marking the second criminal case brought against him by the Trump administration in under a year. The charges center on a controversial May 2025 Instagram post in which Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged on a beach to form the numbers “86 47.”
According to CNN, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter (who ran to CNN to leak the news), the indictment was returned by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. It comes after the Justice Department’s first case against Comey-filed in September 2025 and charging him with making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding related to his 2020 Senate testimony-was dismissed late last year. A federal judge ruled that the interim U.S. Attorney who brought those charges had been improperly appointed without Senate confirmation.
So – the guy acts as Obama and Hillary Clinton’s hatchet man to frame Trump and they’re going after the seashell thing… right.
The Seashell Post at the Center of the New Case
The new indictment revives scrutiny of a social media post that ignited intense backlash last spring. On May 15, 2025, Comey posted a photo on Instagram showing seashells lined up to spell “86 47,” captioned simply: “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
james comey should already be residing in federal prison for lying under oath about hillary clinton’s illegal actions concerning her unsecure closet server and smart phone destruction of evidence.
That crooked bastard will get off scot free,
Lookin’ all prissy and snobbish. Arrogant POS!
