UH OH! James Comey’s Not So Cryptic Post About ’47’ Caught the Attention of DHS, FBI AND Secret Service – Twitchy

Earlier we told you about former FBI Director James Comey’s latest attempt to get in the good graces of the TDS crowd and possibly try to secure a contract from one of the lefty media outlets when he posted this picture on his Instagram account:

Gee, what could that mean? It’s a total mystery!

Comey later deleted the photo claiming he didn’t realize how it would be taken (sure dude):

In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had “posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message.”

Hey, who hasn’t walked down a beach and seen “86 47” spelled out in shells and taken a photo of it and posted the pic and then pretended not to know what it means?

Also isn’t it a bit weird that a guy who was the FBI Director — the former top law enforcement officer in the land — didn’t realize how that picture could be considered a call to violence against the President of the United States?

Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem doesn’t seem to be buying Comey’s excuse:

DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.

SECRET SERVICE: “We vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees.”

“We are aware of the social media post by the former FBI Director & we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective… https://t.co/qGzVH2SQ0c
