James Comey Seeks Dismissal of Indictment Over Instagram Post

Former FBI Director James Comey has filed a motion to dismiss an indictment related to an Instagram post featuring seashells arranged to spell '8647,' which prosecutors claim was a threat against President Trump. Comey's legal team argues that the indictment targets protected speech under the First Amendment, asserting that the post was a political statement rather than a threat.
