Former FBI Director James Comey appeared at the Washington Field Office of the U.S. Secret Service on Friday afternoon. Law enforcement says he’s being interviewed but was not arrested. Comey is in political and possibly legal hot water for posting a pic online of seashells arranged to read ‘8647.’ Many interpret that as a threat to kill President Donald Trump.

BREAKING: Per multiple sources familiar to colleague @davidspunt & myself, former FBI Director James Comey met with the U.S. Secret Service in DC this afternoon, where he was interviewed about his now deleted “8647” seashell post. He was not arrested, it was a standard interview…

Don't get all spun-up about this.

There will be zero consequences for his action.
NOTHING is going to happen.
That’s probably right.
Some posters still hold out hope Comey will be charged but experience informs many that nothing of major consequence will happen.
Nothing will happen, again

You are most likely correct.

Don't worry. He'll get a sternly worded letter.

That, or a good talking-to behind closed doors.
Commenters have visualized what they believe is going down.
Comey: “I swear I didn’t mean anything by it.”

SS: “Ok, sounds good.”
"Interviewed" = "Thank you for your time, Director Comey. We will drive you home now."

Come again, don’t be a stranger!
Comey has a new crime novel dropping in a few days. Many posters think this is a stunt to drum up interest in his book.
You know this was intentional. He's promoting a book.

Comey and others will do it again and again because nothing ever happens to them. They know this. Duh.

No doubt this will keep happening. Some Republican lawmakers are discussing a proposal that will block Comey from ever working for the federal government again. You just know Comey’s laughing in his sandy flip-flops over that.
