In a recent MSNBC interview, James Comey clarified his controversial social media post featuring the numbers 86 47. He emphasized that the term '86' is restaurant slang signifying removal, not violence. Describing the origins of his post, Comey recounted discussing its meaning with his wife. He expressed regret over the ensuing controversy, stating that he didn't intend to provoke any threats and wanted to distance himself from any interpretations related to violence. Comey also acknowledged communication with the Secret Service regarding the post, praising their professionalism in handling the situation.
I regret the distraction and the controversy around it... it's hard to have regret about something that even in hindsight, looks to me to be totally innocent for the reasons you said.
I stood over it and I said, I think it's some kind of a political message and she said, '86'... meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients.
