Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges alleging he threatened President Donald Trump when he posted an image of seashells spelling out "8647" on his Instagram account last year, a source familiar with the matter told MS NOW. The charges, which have yet to be made public, mark the second time that Comey has been indicted in a federal case since Trump's second presidential term began. Trump had accused Comey, whom he has long viewed as a foe, of "calling for the assassination of the president" by sharing the image of the numbers in the May 15 post. "Eighty-six" is a term often used in the restaurant industry when a menu item is discontinued. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says it can more broadly mean "to eject, dismiss, or remove (someone)." Comey at the time denied he was threatening Trump with the post, writing in a follow-up, "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence." He said deleted it anyway because "I oppose violence of any kind."
