James Comey
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi issued a weak statement on James Comey’s assassination threat against President Trump.
“We vigorously investigate anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees. We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI Director & we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters,” Secret Service spox Anthony Guglielmi said on X.

Protectees? James Comey – THE FORMER FBI DIRECTOR – threatened the sitting President of the United States.
James Comey created a media firestorm after he posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

James Comey deleted the assassination threat and updated with an obvious lie.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.
Comey implied he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.

The FBI and DHS are investigating Comey over his social media post.
“We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support,” Kash Patel said on Thursday evening.

A former Secret Service Agent told RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree that Comey has likely already received a visit from Secret Service.
The agent said: “Look, here’s the deal, they’re sending agents out, and they’re gonna talk to him, and he’s not gonna have a choice. He’s gonna have to talk to them, because this stuff about, well, I, you know, I found this on the beach. I didn’t know what it meant. None of that makes sense.”
“These threat investigations are immediate,” he said. “There’s no delay in these types of investigations, they are going to see to speak to him as soon as possible.”
.@Charles__Marino , a former Secret Service agent and national security expert, tells me James Comey is “gonna have a very, very, very long night.”
