Former FBI Director James Comey ran to MSNBC in his first public appearance after he called for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
James Comey was interviewed by the US Secret Service on Friday afternoon at the Washington Field Office.
Comey is under investigation for calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
“86 47” = Kill Trump
According to CNN, James Comey was not in custody. He voluntarily went in for the interview with Secret Service.
Comey’s follow up statement was an obvious lie.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize 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,” Comey said on Instagram.
Comey implied he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.
On Monday, James Comey (as he conveniently plugged his new book) peddled a BS story explaining how he just stumbled upon a curious formation of shells as he was walking down the beach with his wife.
James Comey addresses his “8647” threat against Trump: “We were walking along the beach and we saw on the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. I thought 86 meant to ditch a place.”

Comey told Nicolle Wallace that he’s just an old boring grandfather who likes to wear jeans and sweaters so he was impressed by the person who created the clever political message out of shells.
