Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced today a two-count indictment against former FBI Director James Comey from the Eastern District of North Carolina for threats against President Donald Trump. [Indictment Here]
According to the Press Release: […] “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.” (SOURCE)
James Comey is charged with Threatening the President in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 871(a) and Transmitting a Threat in Interstate Commerce in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Additionally, similar to the criminal referral connected to former ICIG Michael Atkinson, today’s grand jury indictment creates a pressure point for ongoing DOJ investigations into additional related matters concerning FBI Director James Comey.
Hey Gov Whitmer, how you doin?
If you can indict her you break open 2020 election fraud.
Comey is so many bad things I cannot begin to cuss and swear and say all the nasty things about him I’d like to.
But for him to write “86 47” in the sand by using sea shells, take a photo of it, and then post that photo online was the act of a terrorist.
The left seems to think that Comey including commentary on the shells in his post — as if they just serendipitously came into spelling something out — is just peachy. We all know insanity rules the leftist collective.
For Comey to write, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” whether he set each shell in place or not, then send the photo and his remark out to radical socialists who have a killing field mindset, makes him a co-conspirator to every attempted murder against President Trump.
Comey thinks he is above the law. I pray the law does not prove him right.
Just consider thisComey graduated from William and Mary. (Not far from Camp Peary, “The Farm” and just down the peninsula from Quantico.
