The article discusses an investigation around James Comey's Instagram post featuring seashells arranged to read "86 47," which some interpret as threatening language. Critics express distrust in Comey due to past conduct, including his handling of Hillary Clinton's email scandal and leaking information about President Trump. Despite calls for legal repercussions regarding the post, the article emphasizes the importance of protecting free speech, arguing against penalizing individuals for ambiguous messages. The controversy highlights sensitivities surrounding political figures and the potential consequences of misinterpreting symbols.
"Charging someone with a crime because of what their speech might mean, as opposed to what certain speech definitely means, would be far from upholding free speech in America."
"Comey should be in jail."
"Comey claims he does not know what the term 86 means. Read that again."
"Apparently it's also mob code for 'kill' - instructions to take a victim eight miles out of town and bury him six feet under."
