Former FBI Director James Comey has lost his mind. It was already bad enough when this man took random photos of himself in the woods, with little cryptic notes about life and the future. Some joked that he might run for president. None of that happened. Now, the ex-FBI chief who Donald Trump fired is posting death threats against his former boss, and he’s not being too subtle about it.
There is only one way to read the “86 47” photo he posted on social media. The fact that this man wandered some beach to gather the items is also disturbing. Trump derangement syndrome is truly a sickness, and this one ironically should lead to a visit from FBI agents as to what the hell Comey was thinking about killing the president.
The caption read, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
He later deleted the post and said he didn't know what '86' meant. He's still in hot water with the real Feds.
James Comey has shared a post on his Instagram page with a message of supporting the assassination of President Trump.

While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as “a hit” on the sitting President of the United States—a message etched in the sand.

UPDATE III: DHS and the Secret Service are investigating him formally. The former head of our most preeminent domestic intelligence and law enforcement agency didn't know what "86" meant—sure, Jan (via NBC News):
The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service are investigating a social media post by former FBI Director James Comey that several U.S. officials interpreted as calling for the assassination of President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday.
In a now-deleted post on Instagram, Comey shared a photo of what he described as a "shell formation" on a beach that formed the numbers "8647." The post was swiftly condemned by administration officials, Republican lawmakers and Trump allies who said it blatantly targeted Trump, the 47th president of the United States.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "eighty-six" can informally mean "to get rid of."
🚨Tulsi Gabbard: James Comey needs to be behind bars for this.
