Yesterday, former FBI Director James Comey was walking along a beach and apparently happened upon a cryptic message in a "cool shell formation" that just coincidentally aligns with his feelings about President Trump. Comey posted the picture to Instagram:

Well, maybe everybody else knew what Comey was trying to say, because he soon deleted that and posted the following explanation:

Sure, Jim -- tell that to Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and the Secret Service, because that post caught the attention of all of them.
Fox News' Bret Baier asked President Trump about Comey's deleted post and he responded this way:
🚨 @POTUS on former FBI Director James Comey's "86 47" threat: "He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant ... That meant 'assassination.'" pic.twitter.com/LfOHKfSOFa

Of course Comey knew what that meant. Unless we're to believe the country once had an FBI director incapable of connecting those kinds of dots.
Comey acting confused about “86” is like Pablo Escobar claiming he thought “blow” meant air freshener. You don’t run the FBI for years and suddenly go full Golden Retriever. He knows. And he’s dirty.

"He's a dirty cop"

Yes. James Comey is one of the dirtiest.

Comey has a book coming out soon so maybe this was all just a way to get some attention.
Nice from Publishers Weekly. Out Tuesday May 20. pic.twitter.com/iBniwnlqIR

Sounds like that book was written with the intention of selling several copies -- all to MSNBC hosts.
