Earlier we told you about former FBI Director James Comey's latest attempt to get in the good graces of the TDS crowd and possibly try to secure a contract from one of the lefty media outlets when he posted this picture on his Instagram account:
What is former FBI Director James Comey trying to say here, exactly? pic.twitter.com/6wzFLWfqWH

Gee, what could that mean? It's a total mystery!
Comey later deleted the photo claiming he didn't realize how it would be taken (sure dude):
In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had “posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message.”
“I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” he continued.
Hey, who hasn't walked down a beach and seen "86 47" spelled out in shells and taken a photo of it and posted the pic and then pretended not to know what it means?
Also isn't it a bit weird that a guy who was the FBI Director -- the former top law enforcement officer in the land -- didn't realize how that picture could be considered a call to violence against the President of the United States?
Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem doesn't seem to be buying Comey's excuse:
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of @POTUS Trump.

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