Episode Details

Former FBI Director James Comey’s legal battle just got explosive — new filings allege federal prosecutors misled judges, hid key facts, and engaged in unlawful surveillance to build a case against him over a cryptic Instagram post. The defense claims the indictment, stemming from a photo of seashells spelling “eighty-six forty-seven,” is a politically motivated witch hunt driven by President Trump’s personal animosity. They’re demanding access to grand jury records and argue “eighty-six” is a common phrase meaning “get rid of,” not a violent threat. Investigators reportedly found no evidence Comey intended harm, yet prosecutors allegedly withheld those findings from magistrates. Even a cooperating witness couldn’t recall discussing the phrase with Comey. This isn’t the first time — a prior case against Comey was dismissed, and now his team says the Justice Department and Secret Service are working hand-in-hand with the White House to silence him.
