Secret Service agents question Comey about his Trump social media post
[NBC] Secret Service agents interviewed former FBI director James Comey on Friday regarding his “8647” social media post that administration officials called a death threat against President Trump and Comey called a political statement.
Alinsky him — make him live up to his claimed standards for President Trump and Trump Republicans.
“Today, federal agents from @SecretService interviewed disgraced former FBI Director Comey regarding a social media post calling for the assassination of President Trump,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said late Friday. “I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of @POTUS Trump. This is an ongoing investigation.”

A lawyer for Comey declined to comment.

Comey, a longtime Trump critic, deleted the photo — which showed seashells arranged in the shape of “8647”— within hours. He said it was a political message, not a violent one.
"Once a POS always a POS" theory validated.
“I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,” Comey wrote on Instagram. “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.”
“Yes, I was director of the Federal friggin’ Bureau of Investigation, but I’m really dumber than a box of hair,” said no VIP ever.
In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Trump said that he believes Comey “knew exactly what he meant.”

“A child knows what that meant... that meant ‘assassination,’” Trump said. “And it says it loud and clear. He wasn’t very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Thursday that Comey should be jailed.

“I’m very concerned for the president’s life; we’ve already seen assassination attempts,” Gabbard said on Fox News. “I’m very concerned for his life and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.”

#1 Anxiously waiting potential link analysis that would establish a connection between Comey and Trump attempted assassins Routh, Crooks, or other conspirators.

#2 I find it odd that '8647' happened to be the exact number of days since 9-11 when this came to light. What message is Comey really trying to send...

#5 Put a tail on him. Watch him everywhere he goes. Put a wire tap on his phone and subpoena his email. Get a warrant to search his home. If he has so much as spit on the sidewalk, put him in jail for it.

#6 #5^

How about some creativity?
We don't need to mimic the Biden Admin's treatment of MAGA Conservatives, Christians and Jewish people.

I am sure we can be much more creative legally and morally.☺

#7 It was reported last night that Comey is about a week away from the release of a new book. Suddenly, he gets front page attention and the denizens of the left see him again as a "resistance" figure and are prompted to buy his book. He played the media perfectly for the free publicity!
