James Comey Appears to Call For the Assassination of President Trump in Social Media Post – White House Responds

[Blaster]

Comey is trying to say he didn't know what he did was a call to assassinate the President. I doubt that anyone believes him.

86 doesn't mean murder dumb ass.

But you'd prefer Trump murdered.

The question is, does it have to be widely used in order to be considered a viable threat.
************
Yes, the term "86" can, in some contexts, mean to kill someone. While its primary and most common slang usage is to "get rid of," "throw out," or "refuse service to" someone-especially in the restaurant and bar industry-the meaning has evolved in certain circles. According to Merriam-Webster, one of the more recent and less common senses of "86" is "to kill," though the dictionary notes this usage is relatively new and not widely adopted12357.


Cassell's Dictionary of Slang and other sources confirm that "86" has carried violent or lethal connotations since at least the 1970s, particularly in criminal or underworld slang2911. In mafia or organized crime terminology, "86" has been used to describe eliminating someone, sometimes implying burying them "six feet under"1.


However, it's important to note that this violent meaning is not the most widespread or original use of the term, and in most everyday contexts, "86" simply means to eject or remove someone, not necessarily to kill12357.

Actually the question is whether Comey intended for it to be a threat.

To add another layer, he didn’t even say it, but merely noticed someone else had done so.

Wow. Its cray cray world in cray cray town, but if the Secret Service wants to talk with him thats fine.

I feel the same about admitted liars CBS and ABC. You mock conservative news sites and somehow expect these legacy news outlets to be considered legitimate and ethical. CBS tried to influence an election by presenting false documents as authentic while ABC had to pay $15M because they lied in their smear on President Trump.

Did I mention the legacy sites? I was just saying Breitbart is part of the lying MAGA infrastructure,

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump?
James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat.

It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump.
Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term.
~Snip~
Update: The White House responded to Comey’s social media post calling it “what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States.”
“This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.”
The FBI is also aware of Comey’s Instagram post.


Commentary:
Obviously, Comey knew what he was doing and posted it on Instagram, which has suddenly disappeared but was immortalized by quick thinking people.
In Montana where I once lived, walking around crowing about how someone else needs to get killed was a good way to get your own lights shut down.
This is plainly a domestic terrorist threat by Comey. Use the patriot act to whisk Comey off to a black site out of the country and get the names of all the domestic terrorists from this coward!
If we as Americans do not make certain that these threatening treasonous ideologists are arrested and jailed, by way of tribunals if need be, nothing will to change.
We need broad arrests of ALL of these foes who are working to or who have worked in the shadows to hinder our self-determination and destroy our nation.
We either fight to see them jailed or we will be conquered.
Kash Patel should give Jimmy a taste of an early morning SWAT assault and arrest followed by a handcuffed perp walk and 12 hours search of his home(s) including his wife's panty draw.

So when somebody’s 86ed from a bar are they killed? Please help refresh my memory about what it means to be 86ed

Progressives history precedes them. We have seen since Obama much violence. And a lot of it was/is mindless violence.

Had a republican posted this directed at someone on your team, hacks like you would be bellering about "turning the temperature down".

If the term "86" "47" was all innocent and such, why then did Comey take it down about an hour later?

Hmm?

We all know the holy hell that would break out if Trump had posted this about anyone.

No wonder the FBI was out to get Trump like they were. This just proves that they were out to get him is all.

 

[leftwinger]

It’s maddening. All these criminal deep state govt crooks have stolen so much (trillions), wasted, attacked J6, Trump, rigged votes, Russian collusion BS yet: they stroll beaches on large pensions ($10K/mo) they mock. Nothing happens to them?

These verminous filth will all be kept alive with top notch medical as long as possible (like Carter) while you get sent home with Tylenol to die. They all have tens of millions in banks to Billions in equity, never worked a single real day. Never cleaned a toilet. Anger Much?

I just read he deleted his entire Instagram account? Uh, I don’t have one. Considered deleting this one a few times when persecuted or targeted by 2-3 of them.

Dear God in heaven, this comey needs a 6’ jail bed.

Me either. Bad idea. I have a FB account but don't post anything on it at all or comment, and frankly only check it once a month.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Did I mention the legacy sites? I was just saying Breitbart is part of the lying MAGA infrastructure,

Which is why I countered with the Legacy news media to illustrate proven, validated lies from the Left.

he also said he didnt' flip 16.

 

[WEATHER53]

86 means to "toss out".....As in "I 86ed that gun part".

I wish right-leaners would quit using GP as a "source".....It's like the leftists using the Huffington Post, NYT, or WaPo.

86 it means to get rid of it

 

[struth]

Actually the question is whether Comey intended for it to be a threat.

To add another layer, he didn’t even say it, but merely noticed someone else had done so.

when he posted it on social media, he stated it. The stat requires knowingly and willfully communicates the threat:



Everyone knows what "86ing" someone means....and he communicated it using spent rounds. It's clear his threatening the life of the President, and should be jailed.
