Kash Patel Has Directed Secret Service to Investigate James Comey for His 86 47 Instagram Post

As previously reported there was a controversial Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey. Read all about it in the below two stories:

Former FBI Director James Comey Calls for President Trump to be Murdered on Instagram

White House Responds to Apparent Threat to President Trump by James Comey

Reporter Nick Sortor said FBI Director Kash Patel is directing the Secret Service to look into Comey’s post, which has now been removed:

#BREAKING: Director Kash Patel announces the FBI is actively working [with] the Secret Service, investigating disgraced director James Comey for calling for Trump to be assassinated Comey has since retracted, pretending like he doesn’t know what it means to “86” someone LOCK HIM UP

Here is Comey’s “apology” post acknowledging he removed his 86 47 post despite many liberal activists on X now emboldened to repost that messaging:

A White House spokesman added:

It’s worth noting this assassination threat follows President Trump historic Saudi speech where he declared the demise of the neocons and nation builders.

American leadership has been restored and peace is on the horizon. This has left the Deep State desperate and dangerous—Comey is only the latest and most disturbing example of them lashing out through threats of violence.

**ADDITIONAL**

In an Instagram post, Comey wrote “cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for “86 47.”

Numerous Trump administration officials, including Noem, said Comey was advocating for the assassination of Trump, the 47th president. Noem wrote:

DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.

Merriam-Webster, the dictionary used by The Associated Press, says 86 is slang meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of” or “to refuse service to.” Further:

Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of ‘to kill.’ We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use.

It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.

Comey’s original post sparked outrage among conservatives on social media, with Donald Trump Jr. accusing Comey of calling for his father’s killing.

Current FBI Director Kash Patel said he was aware of the post and was conferring with the Secret Service and its director.

James Blair, White House deputy chief of staff for legislative, political and public affairs, noted that the post came at a delicate time given that Trump is traveling in the Middle East.

Blair wrote on X:

This is a Clarion Call from Jim Comey to terrorists & hostile regimes to kill the President of the United States as he travels in the Middle East.

Recall, Comey, who was FBI director from 2013 to 2017, was fired by Trump during the president’s first term amid the bureau’s probe into allegations of ties between Russian officials and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Comey wrote about his career in the best-selling memoir A Higher Loyalty.
