James Comey indicted over Instagram seashell photo that allegedly threatened Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the US Department of Justice in a North Carolina federal court for an alleged threat made toward President Donald Trump. The indictment cites a now-deleted Instagram photo posted by Comey, showing seashells arranged to form the numbers "8647," which the DOJ claims a reasonable recipient familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of intent to do harm, referencing the slang term "eighty-six" meaning to "get rid of" or "throw out."
