The Comey Conundrum: Threats, Retribution, and the Thin Line of Prosecutorial Discretion The US Department of Justice's recent court filings against former FBI Director James Comey have sparked a firestorm of controversy.
At its core, the dispute centers on a social media post – a photo of seashells arranged in "86 47" on an Instagram account shared last May.
Prosecutors accuse Comey of transmitting a threat to President Donald Trump, with the seashells allegedly serving as a coded message to his 47 million followers.
