Comey Under Investigation: Seashell Photo Sparks Assassination Claims

Former FBI Director James Comey is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service following a social media post that some officials interpreted as a threat against President Trump. The post, which Comey later deleted, featured a picture of seashells arranged to read "86 47." While Comey claims the post was intended as a political message, some officials allege that the number "86," sometimes associated with violence, suggests an assassination attempt. "I assumed it was a political message, and I didn't realize the numbers are sometimes associated with violence," Comey said in a statement. The DHS and Secret Service are currently investigating the matter. This incident highlights the complexities of interpreting online communication and the potential for misinterpretations to lead to serious consequences.
