https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/us/politics/james-comey-indictment.html

The Justice Department has secured a new indictment of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, over a social media post, after a past indictment effort spurred by President Trump last year ended in failure, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The new case represents another twist in the department’s tortured efforts to satisfy the demands of Mr. Trump to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Comey, a longtime target of the president’s wrath.

The charge stems from an incident nearly a year ago, when Mr. Comey, vacationing on the North Carolina coast, posted a photograph on social media showing seashells arranged to say “86 47,” combining the slang term “86” often used to mean dismiss or remove in reference to Mr. Trump, the country’s 47th president.

Members of the administration, as well as Mr. Trump’s family, declared that the meaning of “86” was to kill, and that the message amounted to a threat to assassinate the president.
>>
After the image was posted, the Secret Service went so far as to track the location of Mr. Comey and his wife as they traveled from their vacation spot to their home in Northern Virginia.

When Mr. Comey learned of the uproar, he deleted the post, saying that he did not know that it had a violent connotation and that he opposed violence of any kind. The Secret Service interviewed him by phone that evening, and Mr. Comey said he had no intent to cause the president harm. The following day, he sat for an in-person interview. The Justice Department eventually dropped the matter, but it was revived in recent months.

Mr. Comey was indicted in September by a grand jury in Virginia, accused of lying and obstructing a congressional investigation over testimony he gave in 2020. That indictment came after Mr. Trump fired the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia after he and career prosecutors in the office had determined the evidence did not support criminal charges against Mr. Comey.

The president replaced that prosecutor with Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide with no previous prosecutorial experience. Ms. Halligan quickly secured a grand jury indictment against Mr. Comey, and then another in an unrelated case against New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, another longtime target of Mr. Trump.

Both indictments were dismissed in November, after a judge ruled that the Trump administration’s appointment of Ms. Halligan did not follow federal law for such positions.

Despite an additional legal setback in which a judge ruled certain evidence in the Comey case off-limits to prosecutors, the Trump administration has signaled its intent to continue its pursuit of Mr. Comey.
>>
The new effort to charge Mr. Comey comes less than a month after the president fired his attorney general, Pam Bondi, over frustration with what advisers said was her handling of files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the department’s effectiveness in cases against his perceived enemies.
>>
The best part about all of this is Trump would have never been president if Comey hadn't publicly reopened the Clinton email case a week before the 2016 election
He blatantly abused his position as FBI director to tip the scales in Trump's favor, and Trump has made his life a living hell ever since.
I hope he lives every day in absolute misery because of the monster he created. He deserves it.
>>
>>1510149
God trump is like if you made a kid butthurt on Xbox live and his threats turned out to be real, but still totally hilarious because he looks and acts all faggoty and you just can't take it seriously because its a butthurt little baby that actually smells like shit doing it
>>
>>1510149
>Literally indicting someone over a fucking tweet consisting of 4 numbers
Another waste of money incoming.
>>
this will never ever go through. if it does, expect people to take streets.

86 doesnt mean kill anyways, it means something is gone or out.
>>
Criminal charges not lawsuit.
>>
>>1510211
>86 doesnt mean kill anyways
It can mean that, actually. But "can" isn't going to do near enough heavy lifting for this shit to get anywhere near a jury, setting aside the fact that even if he had written KILL TRUMP, it'd be a fucking ToS violation, not a fucking felony. Calls for violence aren't illegal unless as part of a direct threat, a pattern of harassment, or where someone could immediately act on that call.

Trump himself should know that seeing as he's publicly called for people to be killed multiple fucking times.
>>
>>1510149
Remember people, it was Biden that weaponized the DOJ because he dared hold his oppenents accountable for the crimes they committed. Trump using the DOJ to sue his enemies with frivolous lawsuits over and over is perfectly fine because he's a special boy.
>>
>>1510149
>Jack Posobiec
The same guy who was spreading Russian propaganda against Ukraine?
>>
>>1510263
It's not a lawsuit. It's multiple felony charges.
>>
>>1510266
Literally even more humiliating. Good luck convincing a grand jury to sentence someone for a fucking tweet.
>>
>>1510211
>expect people to take streets
Is this another metaphor for violence?
>>
>>1510267
Grand juries don't sentence people. They already got past the grand jury phase.
>>
>>1510271
Its not going anywhere if they lied to a grand jury
Its just more complex than throwing a sandwich so they were able to get enough mouthbreathers to agree to the bullshit charges
>>
>>1510267
Tweets and memes can be used to prosecute someone, yes.
>>
>>1510270
like j6? no.
>>
>>1510273
specifically what crime is posting a picture of the numbers 8647?
>>
>>1510149
>Trump wastes court's time with second frivilous Comey lawsuit
So how's that $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal - after they called your bluff - going for ya, Trumpy...?
>>
Literally knowingly lying and leaking government information to the media. He needs to go to prison
>>
>>1510266
Its sad attempt to silence someone from exercising their first amendment right disguised as a felony charge, made only possible through the corrupt DOJ that exists solely to do Trump's bidding.
>>
>>1510285
Agreed, Trump should be in a cell.
>>
>>1510282
It can be construed as a terrorist threat.
>it's just a prank bro
Not for you to decide.
>>
>>1510289
86 esl shill
>>
>>1510289
>This just in; anyone saying Trump has to go is actually a terrorist threatening to kill him
>>
>>1510149
Didn’t they already do this?
>>
>>1510291
>call Trump a racist, nazi etc for a literal decade, use 86 unironically
>results in numerous assassination attempts
>act surprised when your retarded ass gets scrutinized, pretend like you didn't know exactly what you were saying when you said it
>>
>>1510296
So we're just not allowed to call for Trump's removal or call him out for any of the bullshit he's done or said for years because that's a terroristic act now?

Yeah, fuck off. This whole thing is gonna be dead in the water the moment it goes to trial. You can't criminalize calling out dear leader for being a shithead. Hell, you can't even criminalize saying that you hope he fucking dies outright. I hope his fat ass has a stroke live so we can mock you with it every time you open your dumbass mouth.
>>
>>1510296
>results in numerous assassination attempts
Prove that this was the result of calling Trump a racist nazi.
>>
>>1510289
what do you think of those kind peaceful protestors who politely chanted "hang mike pence" with no ill will behind those words whatsoever? you're not some kind of libtard that would say they were making threats, are you?
>>
>>1510298
You're not allowed to make tongue in cheek references to assassinating a US president.
86 is a common synonym for icing, greasing, bumping off, nixing etc someone from life permanently. Has been that way for decades. Don't be surprised if the feds kick down your door for saying that shit.
>>
>>1510316
Are you really that retarded? Do you honestly think that's how the real world works? Absolutely pathetic lol
>>
>>1510316
>You're not allowed to make tongue in cheek references to assassinating a US president.
Yes you are.
>>
>>1510317

I hope your names are touching on the watchlist. Retards.

>no argument, just ridicule
you can concede anytime, shill

Oh wait, You're serious?
Let me laugh even harder!

Didn't you get absolutely BTFO for being a retarded faggot in two other threads? Third time's the charm, right?
>>
>>1510320
>says stupid shit
>gets called stupid
>”Ah-HA! That means I win!”
This is what MAGA actually believes. It’s a big part of why they’re like this. Every time they get called retarded they think they’re even more right.
>>
this is some special manic energy from the shill
keep winding them up
>>
>>1510316
>86 is a common synonym for icing, greasing, bumping off, nixing etc someone from life permanently
No it fucking isn't lmao. It's a restaurant term for removing something from the menu. Calling for Trump's removal isn't calling for his assassination you retard.

>Don't be surprised if the feds kick down your door for saying that shit.
So where's Jack Posobiec's charges btw?
>>
>>1510324
Hes been trying all day so far to jerk maga off and every time someone makes him look more cringe and retarded than i thought possible.

Nice self-admitted fanfic

4chan was so much better before these maga babies

We used to call each other niggers because edgy humor was still a thing and the inbred retards thought it was an invite to spew their garbage

https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/eighty-six-meaning-origin
''Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix'
You're not allowed to complain when your opinions are proved wrong, shill.
>>
>>1510323
Well, those of the right are retarded, so you're not wrong.
>>
>>1510332
>Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of “to kill.” We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use.
> "I hate to see the guys always getting eighty-sixed," she said, using military jargon for killed in action. "Not fair.”
— John Kifner, The New York Times, 3 Feb. 1991

this is literally at the end of your link with a 30 year old example

its absolutely pathetic that retards who can't even define what a woman is will delude themselves into believing they're not calling for someones murder

you are beyond willful ignorance at this point, are you going to reply with an article about how cutting off your dick turned you into a girl next?
>>
>>1510336
>He's gonna write another butthurt paragraph and say the exact same shit

How many more threads are you gonna try this on? Cause you're gonna get made fun of more every time you fail at it. This is what, attempt five? Or six?

For someone that's so concerned about what we think a woman is, you really do be out here acting like the biggest bitch on 4chan.


>define a woman
You
>>
>>1510336
You bringing this up so many times despite no one asking leads me to believe that you're trans and in some sort of denial
>>
>>1510336
>using military jargon for killed in action
Your article got it wrong. It's literally restaurant jargon lmao. Literally sit around in any commercial kitchen long enough and you will hear it.
>>
>>1510336
Pretty sure they say it more in any restaurant but yeah sure get all butthurt some more and show us just how much a big boy you totally are and definitely not a butthurt little faggot bitch
>>
>>1510338
>>1510339
>>1510340

>>here's a link that proves you wrong!
>it actually proves you're wrong
and then the libchimps sperg out after being BTFO

I can keep watching you self BTFO all night
>>
>>1510345
Someone already made fun of you and used that exact term. You really can't think for yourself, can you? That dude who won the internet argument earlier and humiliated you the first couple times really must have gotten into your head pretty bad if you're still trying this hard to get anyone to not make fun of you
>>
>>1510345
Everyone totally believes you. You definitely haven't been throwing a gigantic bitch tantrum all day across multiple threads ;)
>>
>>1510345
Yeah an article getting what 86 means wrong just like you did isn't proof. The term is objectively from restaurants. Whether one soldier decided to repurpose it for the sake of saying Enemy Down is no different; if a soldier starts saying "Target Impeached" that doesn't turn impeachment into a death threat.
>>
>>1510348
You lie so much that nothing you say can be trusted to be true. A literal dog can be trusted to tell the truth better than you.
Regardless, lying won't save you from the consequences of threatening the life of a democratically elected president.
>>
>>1510352
Try not to have too much of a meltdown when this gets laughed out of court, ok? You do realize the Streisand Effect means these particular 4 numbers are about to become a LOT more popular, right?
>>
>>1510352
He says it here >>1510322

And then your dumb ass says it here >>1510352

>>1510359

Whoops I mean your dumb ass says it here >>1510345

>>1510352
What are you, 12? Do you honestly think they give a shit about randoms online? Maybe you should lay off the meth, cleetus.
>>
>>1510352
>Is too retarded to come up with own thoughts
>Gets butthurt when people notice
>Keeps running away to different threads >people keep spotting him because he keeps saying the same exact shit to no avail

Wow I thought this type of cringe was extinct but you're quickly becoming the genesis valentine of /news/
>>
>>1510352
>Gets made fun of again
>Runs away again
>>
>>1510149
>Mr. Comey, vacationing on the North Carolina coast, posted a photograph on social media showing seashells arranged to say “86 47,”
I don't believe this was a dogwhistle to assassinate Trump necessarily, but I'm curious if he ever explained what he meant by this.
>>
>>1510380
Remove 47. Literally just an impeachment call.
>>
Wait, don't tell me people been getting 86 confused with deep six. Those don't have the same degree of "canceled from life" connotation.
>>
>>1510382
They're acting retarded on purpose so they can have a reason to bitch and moan.
>>
>>1510149
>NYTIMES
a terrorist agitator publication is defending known domestic traitors wow who'd of guessed
god leftists are pathetic
>>
>>1510154
This. I hope Comey gets anal cancer with blistering hemorrhoids that look like Trump's face and every time he farts it'll feel like a knife sawing in and out of his Lurch looking faggot ass.
>>
>>1510381
Where do you live that 86ing someone means removing someone?
>>
>>1510488
Literally everywhere anon. It's a restauraunt slang for "remove from menu".
>>
>>1510491
In Fremont California, 86ing someone meant checking their ID. Then it ended up meaning something like nixed
>>
>>1510496
Sounds mostly just like people don't wanna admit the obvious so they can have a reason to have an issue for no reason. Its literally just a catchy phrase, and that's what I think has maga faggots so butthurt
>>
>>1510400
lol Stop being such a pussy and find your own website magfag
>>
>>1510380
There's video of Trump at a rally calling for 2A on Hillary Clinton. The hypocrisy never ends with Republicans.
>>
>>1510336
They hated him because he told the truth.
>>
>>1510607
You're a retard
>>
>>1510609
what a strong and compelling retort.
>>
>>1510610
Better than deserved and got the point across. I'm not seeing the problem.
>>
>>1510611
Bro quoted a dictionary and you got mad.
>>
>>1510610
You got any more concessions for us? Jesus you're embarrassing to behold. Imagine being this wrong and this chronically butthurt. That dude that won the internet argument yesterday must have really fucked with your head if you're still doing this shit. I wonder how long till you kill yourself lol
>>
>>1510637
Aww, baby is so mad he can barely type

How embarrassing for you
>>
>>1510635
your post reads like 5 other separate posts clunked together. you are a copypastefag with no thinking of your own. you do not belong here.
>>
>>1510676
>No thinking of your own

You've literally been told this exact thing multiple times in the last day and a half. Some of which by me
>>
>>1510676
Most of what you just said has been said directly to you. Have you tried thinking before you post? You'd probably say a lot less embarrassing shit and you'd be far less of an easy target. Otherwise you should probably kill yourself cause wow I've never met someone more lowly and retarded
>>
>>1510676
>U ARE A COPYPASTEFAG


this is literally the best and only insult you have been able to come up with on your own so far. You really should let that sink in.
>>
>>1510676
English pretty hard for you? lol
>>
>>1510676
Oh my fucking God dude you really should stop setting people up to absolutely destroy you like this
>>
>>1510676
>Copypastefag

That's not a thing, that's not even really an insult. So he types in multiple statements? Boo fucking hoo, dude. You'd have less problems reading if you weren't such an inbred little bitch.

Stop getting made fun of so hard dude it's really starting to get kinda sad
>>
>>1510676
Oh wow man. Here's your (you). You really are that retarded and it isn't a humiliation kink, is it?
>>
>>1510676
How many times is this gonna happen before you figure out that you may be in fact a retard?
>>
>>1510676
That is the saddest attempt at a comeback you could have possibly typed. Enjoy day 2 of being laughed out of every thread
>>
>>1510676
Judging by how you're being roasted I'd say it's pretty clear that you're the one that doesn't belong
>>
>>1510676
just here to add to your castigation esl shill. maybe you should start looking for a real job
>>
>>1510688
He's definitely gonna get mad at you for saying a word he had to Google

I know you've seen this phrase a couple times in the last day or so

>Absolutely BTFO
>>
>>1510689
do you really think the tranny fetishist isn't familiar with terms for cutting off testicles?
>>
>>1510691
Oh yeah I forgot he was also a professional woman definer
>>
>>1510691
He said castigation, not castration. You should take a break from the internet for a bit, it may be impacting your reading ability.
