James Comey faced scrutiny for an Instagram post showcasing seashells that appeared to spell out '86 47', which some interpreted as an assassination threat against Donald Trump. In an interview with CNN, Comey was pressed on whether he considered the implications of his post, which he claims was simply a display of shells he found on the beach. He acknowledged the political message but denied any violent intent. The incident prompted a visit from Secret Service for a threat interview.
Comey asserts that even though he acknowledged the political undertones of the seashell formation, he insists it was never intended as a violent message.
Reflecting on the implications of his post, Comey defends his intent by emphasizing his intention was not towards assassination, stating there was no forethought of violence.
