The Sea Shell Threat

April 29, 2028

Vol. 15, No. 2364

8647: The Trump Justice Department brought an indictment and arrest warrant against former FBI Director James Comey accusing him of threatening the life of President Trump by posting a picture of seashells arranged in beach sand with the message “8647.”

It’s the sea shell threat.

To “86” someone is generally slang for throwing an unruly customer out of a restaurant or a bar. The Justice Department under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is stretching it as a threat to kill. Blanche said the posting was the subject of a yearlong investigation and that “You can not threaten to kill the president of the United States, full stop.”

Comey a year ago came across the shell arrangement while walking with his wife on a North Carolina beach and posted a picture of it on Instagram. He later took it down after some people took it as a threat to the President.
