James Comey Posts Alleged Call to Murder Trump on Instagram, Then Deletes It (But We Have It) – Twitchy

Now, did he actually call for Trump’s murder? We are going to leave that as a question, for us to report and you to decide on. Today on Instagram, someone purporting to be Former FBI Director James Comey posted what this Twitter/X user screencapped.





Bear in mind, following the Reagan mantra of ‘trust but verify’ we did not take ‘Alx’s’ word for it. We checked the Comey Instagram account and it was there: Same picture, same caption. The account itself purports to be Comey’s. 

And many are interpreting this as a threat to Trump as follows. First, 47 is one of the slang terms for Trump because he is called the 47th president (as well as the 45th). And to 86 someone can mean to kill that person. Thus 8647 is allegedly code for ‘kill Trump.’

But we would be remiss if we didn’t point out that he might be able to hide behind plausible deniability for several reasons, especially if there is a criminal case filed against him. For one, he might be able to claim it is not even his account. While Instagram gives this account a verification badge, who knows how rigorous the process was for verification. Second, he could claim that he didn’t actually mean 86 as in ‘kill.’ While this author thought that the most common usage was exactly that—86 equals ‘kill’—this Twitter/X user links to a Webster’s Dictionary entry …

… that suggests that in context, a person could credibly argue that Comey was simply talking about ‘removing’ Trump, such as by impeachment, rather than by murder.

The third problem is that Comey would claim that he was merely reporting on what he saw.

After all, no rational reader of this piece you’re reading would think that this author is threatening the President of the United States, right? No, we are obviously just reporting on an alleged threat by Comey and that is one of many ways to defend oneself against a charge of a threat: ‘I didn’t make the threat, I was just reporting that I saw one.’ And Comey the Clown could make the same claim. He could claim he merely saw the threat and shared it. Heck, like OJ Simpson, he could dedicate himself to finding the real threatener!

That being said, from what we hear the Secret Service is likely to knock on his door anyway. Our understanding is that the Secret Service checks out every potential threat and we always suspected that they did so even when it was clearly not a threat—such as a cartoon critically accusing people of stabbing a President in the back—just so they couldn’t be accused of political bias. So we expect that to happen just based on their past conduct.

In any case, as the headline suggests, Comey has taken the post down with this weak sauce defense:

Once again, we went to Instagram and checked. The old pic was deleted. The new pic is there. It is an image of a mea culpa where he says:

I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.





First off, that is just idiocy right there. A former FBI director says ‘I oppose violence of any kind’? We weren’t aware he was frickin’ Ghandi. As FBI director, he has overseen a metric frakton of violence and has almost certainly justified it. When the FBI forcibly arrests anyone, that is violence. When an FBI agent is shot at and the FBI agent shoots back, that is violence. And most rational people recognize it as justified violence. 

And is he saying every American war was wrong? Because that sure was a lot of violence. When we invaded France on D-Day and kicked the Nazis in the teeth, that was violence and this author is proud of America that we did it.

No, what this author opposes is political violence and perhaps that is what Comey the clown meant to say.

But more basically, is he really going to pretend he didn’t know that 8647 could be a call to violence? Is that plausible to you? We report and you decide but this doesn’t pass the smell test with this author.

Naturally, he was dragged for both the original post and the withdrawal:





Hey now! Gay Patriot is a giant homo and we think he is pretty cool… But not so much his photoshops of Hillary Clinton. We keep trying to get him to pay for our therapy.

(For the record, we are not offended. We thought it was funny and we are pretty sure Gay Patriot would, too.)

We also hear positively that the Secret Service is going to investigate this, but we will let someone else post on that. But here’s something for Comey to decode: FAFO. Try googling it if you aren’t sure what it means, Comey the Clown. 

We’re not sure he could be convicted of making a threat against the President of the United States. But we suspect he could be indicted, and how much will Comey have to spend to fight the charges?

Grok is not trustworthy. We haven’t found a single AI that is.

Yep, we remember.

Yeah, when he suggested he just found them, we pressed the ‘doubt’ button in L.A. Noir.

Not technically treason, but it is potentially a crime. Threatening the President of the United States is a crime.





Seriously, lots of people have made their own AI or photoshop shell images:
