The US Secret Service has opened an investigation into former FBI Director James Comey over a social media post considered a potential death threat against Donald Trump. Comey's Instagram post featured seashells arranged in a way interpreted as '8647', suggesting a connection to Trump's presidency. The Secret Service and Homeland Security expressed that any threats to the President will be taken seriously. Trump commented that Comey's actions were clear threats, while Comey defended his intention, denying any violent association with the numbers.
We vigorously investigate anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees.
If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant 'assassination.' It says that loud and clear.
While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as 'a hit' on the sitting President.
I didn't realise some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down.
