Former FBI Director James Comey: "86 47"

[Zincwarrior]

He promoted an insurgency on The U.S. Capitol that actually killed people.
Also you guys need to check your fevered hysteria.
The term "86" also means to "kick out" as in "he got 86-ed from the bar."
Comey was most likely saying that.
Get rid of him....as in get him out of office.
GEEZ!
What a bunch of ***** snowflakes!

Agreed. The S Service can always investigate following standard procedures as is part of their due diligence.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I just did, again.

Do you actually read anything I post?

It puts the lie to his "I didn't know" defense when he actually posts it. I ask again, if he didn't understand the meaning of something he found "interesting," why did he feel the need to post it?

Otherwise, the picture is just an innocuous collection of rocks, conveniently arranged in a random assemblage of numbers.

You couldn't possibly expect any prospective grand juror that he didn't know what it meant at the time he posted it.

The Miranda Warning puts it succinctly:

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can be used against you in the court of law."

Both the "say" and "do" elements have already been met here, as well.

Comey is toast. Sorry, kid.

Comey will see no consequences from this. I think you're chasing a ghost. Better move on.

 

[Mac1958]

Obviously he didn't mean it as some kind of threat, but he sure as hell should have known better in this fucked up environment.

That's on him.

There is literally no other option to "get him out" of office.

Impeach him.
25th Amendment.

Or just to leave this guy when he's gone.

Again, these are persumptions on your part

Impeaching him does not get him out of office.

25th amendment is clearly not an option.

to 86 someone is to kill them...the FBI knows that, it was a routine phrase by the mob.

Comey clearly threatened Trump's life, a man that has now suvived two assassination attempts by Actblue donors. Comey knew his audience.

 

[Hellokitty]

I don’t have to pretend to know what they’re thinking. When you say it’s “definitely” a veiled call for violence, you’re saying there’s no other possibility.

Many people in this thread have conclusively stated it’s only interpretable as a violent threat.

It really doesn't matter what Comey's intent for posting the picture was. As FBI director Comey routinely used incidents like this as justification to target people.

He didn’t say impeach Trump. Nice try

 

[Faith 7]

Well this isn't at all threatening or frightening or unacceptable.

Remember he's one of the GOOD guys!



Gee, I wonder how this would play out if that were referring to a Democrat?

We all know how this would play out if that was referring to a Democrat President or any Democratic Representative. Democrats are so very predictable . imho

 

[ColonelAngus]

So when you say “Peacefully and Patriotically make your voices heard” and it gets you impeached and gets hundreds of grandparents arrested….what should happen when a former FBI director specifically calls for the President to be assassinated on social media?

 

[Dragonlady]

Yes, it's pretty clear there is an assassination culture among the demafacsit brownshirts.

This has been studied.

New survey reveals disturbing trend in support of political violence

A new report reveals a disturbing trend in support of political violence.

cnycentral.com

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute reveals a disturbing trend in support of political violence. Researchers found a significant number of Americans who identify as 'left of center' support deadly violence against President Trump and Elon Musk.

Stanley Schwartz, a history professor at Cedarville University, tells us, violence has a long history in American democracy, but it was still striking to read through this report.

I was dismayed and saddened to see those results. It was troubling," Schwartz said.

Do you have a REAL source for this bilge, or just a Sinclair owned right wing TV station, seeking to denigrate the left????

Really quote him telling them to riot


Or admit you are a liar defendjng terrorist that want to assassinate our president..

He said they had to "fight like hell" more than 10 times.

Nobody is defending the REPUBLICANS who tried to assassinate Trump. Former Trump Cult members who saw that their emperor had no clothes and had lied to them. Trump has openly encouraged hate and violence so it's hardly surprising that Republicans are reaping what he's sewn.

It just drives them crazy that it's former Cult members who are trying to kill him.

 

[Failzero]

86 is “cancel that order” and its implication here is actually unambiguous.

If a White guy wrote 86 / MLK Jr. ?

1) do you have any evidence to suggest the Network Contagion Research Institute isn't a real source?
2) Yeah, so you don't actually have a quote,of him telling people to riot? Thought so, you lied.
3) Ok, but you seem to be defending the Actblue donors....which I am not surprised, as the study I provided shows

Ryan Routh: What we know about Trump assassination attempt suspect

He appears to have mixed politics and a history of support for Ukraine - as well as a number of legal issues.

www.bbc.com

What are his political affiliations?​

Routh was registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, but appears to have voted in the most recent Democratic primary in March, according to state records.

In 2019 and 2020, he gave a number of small donations totalling around $140 (£106) to ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising organisation, according to online federal elections records.

An Associated Press photo of a truck outside Routh's Hawaii home displayed a Biden-Harris campaign sticker on the back.

Trump Shooter Once Donated Money to a Democratic Cause?

Some social media users claimed a 69-year-old man with the same name as Trump's would-be assassin actually made the donation.

www.snopes.com

Second, he had allegedly donated money to a Democratic-leaning political action committee on the day President Joe Biden took his oath of office, Jan. 20, 2021 That latter assertion also was true. Crooks, who was shot dead by law enforcement after opening fire at the Trump rally, indeed donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a PAC that aims to get Democrats to vote, according to Federal Election Commission. The record shows the donation occurred on Jan. 20, 2021.


and now we got Obama's former FBI director advocating the murder of Trump. It's clear, assassination culture has overtaken the Demsafacist.

Cancel his LEOSA carry Rights and yank any State Concealed Carry Permits he may hold

 

[Lisa558]

No, they’re definitely saying it can only mean one thing both explicitly and implicitly.

Comey is a serious person and the idea that he is calling for violence is absurd.

Translation to above in libspeak:

1) “Be peaceful and patriotic and make your voices heard.”
It’s a call for violence! Trump is inciting an insurrection! He should be put in prison for life!”!

2) “86 the President.”
It’s free speech! There’s nothing violent about calling for the murder of the president and posting it on social media!

 

[Billiejeens]

A conviction clearly does

Its a Constitutional option.

Neither of those have ever happened
Real world

Assassinations have.

It is exponentially more probable that something that has happened will happen again, than something that has never happened will happen

 

[Foxfyre]

No, they’re definitely saying it can only mean one thing both explicitly and implicitly.

Comey is a serious person and the idea that he is calling for violence is absurd.

That a former FBI Director would not know the probable explicit meaning and intent of 86 47 and especially, given all the violent crazies out there, how provocative it would be to post it on public social media is what is absurd.

That he said he had no idea it implied any sort of violence is what is absurd.

Chances are nothing will come of it, but the U.S. Secret Service is definitely taking it seriously.
