Former FBI Director Comey indicted by DOJ over social media photo

The Justice Department has indicted former FBI Director James Comey over the posting of a social media photo. Last year, Comey posted a beach photo of seashells in the shape of the numbers “86 47.” 86 is slang for “get rid of” and administration officials asserted that Comey was advocating the assassination of Donald Trump, the 47th president. At the time, Comey said it was simply a political message and he deleted the post. The indictment is the second criminal case the Justice Department has brought against the former FBI director.
