Trump explodes the former director of the FBI James Comey on a controversial Instagram publication
President Donald Trump was unleashed on Friday against former FBI director James Comey, on an Instagram publication that contained an image that Trump’s best officials said was a threat.
In an Instagram post now deleted, Comey has shown a photo of “8647” written in shells in sand, with the legend “Cool formation of Shell On My Beach Walk”.
Some Trump’s far -right allies, including Laura Loomer, have alleged that Comey calls for violence against the president.
For “86”, something, however, has fairly wide interpretations as a slang term – and can simply mean Nix or “get rid of” something, according to Merriam -Webst.
Comey says he thought that the message in the investment of the shells was political, but said he did not realize that he was calling for violence against Trump.

“It never came to my mind, but I oppose violence of all kinds,” said Comey in another article on Instagram.
Trump, however, told Fox News on Friday that he did not buy Comey’s explanation.
“He knew exactly what it meant. A child knows what it meant. If you are the director of the FBI and you don’t know what it meant, it meant the assassination,” said the president.
Trump dismissed Comey in his first administration and the president said Comey still had an ax to grind.
“Well, he apologized because he was touched – he’s a very mean,” said Trump.

The president did not take a position on the fact that Comey, that he made a “dirty cop”, should be the subject of an investigation, but delayed to the Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Internal security secretary Kristi Noem said in a post that American secret services were examining the position of Comey on Thursday.
“Former FBI director in disgrace, James Comey, just called to the assassination of @potus Trump,” she said.
FBI director Kash Patel also said he was aware of La Poste and supported Noem’s efforts.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard asked that Comey be imprisoned.
“Any other person with a position of influence he has, people who take very seriously what a guy in his stature, his experience and what the propaganda media created him to be, I am very concerned about the life of the president,” she told Fox News host Jesse Waters.
She said Comey should be put “behind bars”.
