FBI Investigation Finds No Evidence Against Comey in Seashells Case
The FBI investigation into former FBI director James Comey found no evidence supporting the claim that his Instagram post of seashells arranged to form '8647' was a threat against President Trump. The case hinges on the interpretation of '86' as organized crime slang for 'kill,' a theory disproven by investigators who found no evidence of Comey's exposure to such slang. Despite this, the Department of Justice indicted Comey, alleging he knowingly and willfully threatened the president. The case has been criticized as a vindictive prosecution lacking credible evidence.
