"'86' can also be applied to people a restaurant refuses to serve, and some slang dictionaries say it can refer to murder."
"In 2025, Comey posted to Instagram an image of shells arranged in the shape of two numbers: '86 47.'"
"Trump has been clear for years about his desire to use the power of the federal government to make life more difficult for Comey."
"Through a series of staggeringly incompetent actions, the administration already had its first Comey indictment tossed out in Virginia."
The term '86' is commonly used in restaurants to indicate that a menu item is out of stock. It can also refer to refusing service to someone or, in some contexts, to murder. Former FBI director James Comey posted an Instagram image of shells arranged as '86 47,' referencing Trump, the 47th President, who has a longstanding grudge against Comey. Trump's administration has attempted to make life difficult for Comey, but their actions have been marked by incompetence, leading to the dismissal of an indictment against Comey.
