[NBC] Secret Service agents interviewed former FBI director James Comey on Friday regarding his “8647” social media post that administration officials called a death threat against President Trump and Comey called a political statement.
Alinsky him — make him live up to his claimed standards for President Trump and Trump Republicans.
“Today, federal agents from @SecretService interviewed disgraced former FBI Director Comey regarding a social media post calling for the assassination of President Trump,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said late Friday. “I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of @POTUS Trump. This is an ongoing investigation.”
A lawyer for Comey declined to comment.
Comey, a longtime Trump critic, deleted the photo — which showed seashells arranged in the shape of “8647”— within hours. He said it was a political message, not a violent one. "Once a POS always a POS" theory validated.
“I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,” Comey wrote on Instagram. “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.”
“Yes, I was director of the Federal friggin’ Bureau of Investigation, but I’m really dumber than a box of hair,” said no VIP ever.
In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Trump said that he believes Comey “knew exactly what he meant.”
“A child knows what that meant... that meant ‘assassination,’” Trump said. “And it says it loud and clear. He wasn’t very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Thursday that Comey should be jailed.
“I’m very concerned for the president’s life; we’ve already seen assassination attempts,” Gabbard said on Fox News. “I’m very concerned for his life and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.”
Update at 10:30 a.m. EDT:
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…

Anxiously waiting potential link analysis that would establish a connection between Comey and Trump attempted assassins Routh, Crooks, or other conspirators.
#2
I find it odd that '8647' happened to be the exact number of days since 9-11 when this came to light. What message is Comey really trying to send...

Put a tail on him. Watch him everywhere he goes. Put a wire tap on his phone and subpoena his email. Get a warrant to search his home. If he has so much as spit on the sidewalk, put him in jail for it.

How about some creativity?
We don't need to mimic the Biden Admin's treatment of MAGA Conservatives, Christians and Jewish people.
I am sure we can be much more creative legally and morally.☺

It was reported last night that Comey is about a week away from the release of a new book. Suddenly, he gets front page attention and the denizens of the left see him again as a "resistance" figure and are prompted to buy his book. He played the media perfectly for the free publicity!

So let me get this straight the plane that was a gift from Qatar was actually a conversation that was started a year ago by the Biden administration with the Qataris? You literally can’t make this stuff up. pic.twitter.com/LDjs2yR5NK

[PJ] It appears that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hit the target when former CIA Director John Brennan publicly whined over her firing of two senior Deep State officials who opposed President Donald Trump's policies.
Mike Collins, the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, were kicked out of the Council on May 13, after they pushed an assessment that contradicted the Trump administration's argument for mass deportations of illegal aliens.
Fox News reported that Gabbard fired the pair after whistleblowers outed them as "radically opposed to Trump" and sleepers inside the intelligence community who were quietly acting to sabotage the president's agenda.
A visibly shaken Brennan told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday that "This whole thing just makes me livid," in the wake of the firings.
Brennan spent four decades in the intelligence community and was one of the many foes of President Trump in Washington.
Former and active intelligence officials like Brennan, who have been actively working behind the scenes to target President Trump and his supporters since 2016, are finally being purged by loyal supporters like Gabbard.
President Trump had previously called out Brennan for being the ringleader behind the Russia collusion hoax and for having 51 former intel officials, including Michael Morell, the former deputy director of the CIA, sign a letter denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as part of a wider Russian conspiracy.
The latest purge was part of Gabbard's plan to remove decades of politicized rot from within the U.S. intelligence community and to restore the community's integrity and accountability.
This video is absolutely precious. It warms the cockles of my cold, black heart to see Brennan so badly upset. If he thinks something is so bad, I believe it must be wonderful.

Any day now some Congresscritter will file impeachment articles against another Congresscritter who has just filed a different set of impeachment papers against Trump.
Given all the evidence pointing out the DC Swamp's abuses, subversive & treasonous acts, their taxpayer $$$ related abuses and Trump not part of the inside DC Swamp circle.
It is clear they have to try and do something before they are exposed by name and put on trial.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
