Ex-Federal Prosecutor Criticizes Trump DOJ's Case Against James Comey Over Instagram Post

Ex-Federal Prosecutor Criticizes Trump DOJ's Case Against James Comey Over Instagram Post

A former federal prosecutor has criticized the Department of Justice's case against former FBI director James Comey, labeling it as legally weak and constitutionally vulnerable. The case, initiated by the Trump administration, revolves around a 2025 Instagram post by Comey featuring seashells arranged to read '86 47,' which prosecutors argue constitutes a threat against President Trump. Critics, including former assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig, argue that the prosecution risks criminalizing ambiguous political expression protected by the First Amendment. The case has drawn skepticism from various legal analysts and political figures, including Republican Senator Thom Tillis, who described the prosecution as vindictive.

Rep. Adam Schiff Criticizes DOJ's Charges Against Comey as 'Seashells Cases'

Rep. Adam Schiff Criticizes DOJ's Charges Against Comey as 'Seashells Cases'

Rep. Adam Schiff has criticized the Department of Justice's recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, labeling it as a 'seashells case' during an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' The term refers to what Schiff perceives as a weak prosecution, stemming from an Instagram post by Comey in 2025 that allegedly threatened President Trump's life. The post featured seashells arranged to read '86 47,' which Trump interpreted as a mob term for murder. Schiff argues that the DOJ's focus on such cases under Trump's administration detracts from addressing more pressing issues like violent crime and child trafficking. This marks the second legal action against Comey, who has been a target for Trump since overseeing investigations into the 2016 presidential campaign's alleged Russian collusion.

Federal Appeals Court Questions Legitimacy of Trump Administration's Prosecutor Appointments

Federal Appeals Court Questions Legitimacy of Trump Administration's Prosecutor Appointments

A federal appeals court panel expressed skepticism regarding the Trump administration's practice of appointing top federal prosecutors without U.S. Senate approval. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is reviewing a case involving John Sarcone, who was serving as the top prosecutor in the northern district of New York without Senate confirmation. Circuit Judge Maria Araújo Kahn raised concerns about bypassing the Senate's role in approving U.S. attorneys, questioning the potential for a president to continuously appoint interim prosecutors without oversight. The case highlights the administration's use of novel personnel maneuvers to keep unconfirmed prosecutors in their positions, which courts have previously ruled improper.
