Episode Details

Former FBI Director James Comey is defiantly challenging federal charges that he threatened President Trump via a social media post of seashells spelling “eighty-six forty-seven”—a phrase critics say is common protest language, not a genuine threat. His legal team argues the government can’t prove intent, especially since the earlier case against him for lying to Congress was dismissed due to an illegally appointed prosecutor. Many view these legal actions as part of a broader pattern of political retribution against outspoken Trump critics, with Comey even being interviewed by the Secret Service over the same post. The indictment claims Comey knowingly threatened the president, but offers no concrete evidence of intent—despite acting AG Todd Blanche’s assertion that intent is typically proven through witnesses, documents, or the defendant’s own words.
