james comey 8647 seashell post

Based on publicly available reporting, 8647 has been treated as a possible threat by authorities, but whether it legally qualifies as a death threat depends on proving intent — something legal experts say is difficult.


What the sources actually say​

Multiple outlets reported that former FBI Director James Comey was indicted after posting an image of seashells arranged as “8647,” which prosecutors interpreted as a threat toward President Trump.

Why the number matters:

  • “86” is slang for get rid of or throw out, and in some modern usage can imply kill, though dictionaries note this meaning is not widely established.
  • “47” refers to Trump as the 47th president.
This combination led Trump allies and federal prosecutors to argue it was a coded call to harm the president.

But is it​

Legal experts cited in reporting say the case faces major First Amendment hurdles because:

  • Prosecutors must prove the message was a “true threat” under 18 U.S.C. § 871.
  • They must also prove intent, not just interpretation.
  • A symbolic or ambiguous image — like seashells forming numbers — is generally protected speech unless paired with clear intent.
One constitutional law professor said the image alone would be unlikely to survive a First Amendment challenge.

How authorities responded​

Despite the legal ambiguity, the Secret Service and DHS treated the post as a potential threat and opened an investigation.

Comey later said he did not realize the numbers could be interpreted as violent and deleted the post.


Bottom line​

“8647” can be interpreted as a threat, and authorities have acted on that interpretation — but whether it is a death threat in the legal sense depends entirely on proving intent, which experts say is very difficult.

Their pet homosexual deviants seem to be the most triggered; they rely a lot on the mentally ill for votes and assorted street crimes.
 
This stupid case will blow up in court. Trump will force Comey to pay for lawyers and go to court. That is what he wants. He ia harassing the left using the compliant Justice Department that he has his stooges running. It is a wrong thing to do, but Trump ignores norms and laws.

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means "to kill, to murder; to execute judicially".

Nothing will come of this, but it is an example of why Bondi was fired.
Since she has been gone,
Homan has been turned loose.
Omar is on the hot seat like never before,
On the night of Tampon Tims State of the State speech, Patel raided a dozen more fake hospice, daycare, and senior housing empty buildings that have been collecting millions in taxpayer dollars.
Comey gets the spotlight.
Faucci should be the next.
Buckle up. Lot's more coming.


Blanche has done more in two weeks than Bondi did in a year.

But you scum were fine with that sort of lawfare before, and we know none of you have suddenly acquired principles and morals, so this is just another left wing sucking noise.

Another Trump case that will blow up in court. The definition of 86 is not killing someone. It came partly from bars where you would 86 a bad-acting customer. They did not kill them. They threw them out. I knew some Trumpys would lie about this. Trump is sadly abusing his powers. However, his lawyers should be booted for frivolous and unethical lawsuits.
This is shameful.

Actually goes all the way back to soda jerks in the 50s.

Interesting that Comey does this and there are multiple attempts on Trumps life

So you think Comey is above the law? I ask because you marxists used to be fond of saying nobody was and you seem to be implying that now Comey is.
