The recent Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey, featuring the number “8647” arranged with seashells, has sparked intense speculation and controversy. The number quickly attracted attention, particularly from former President Donald Trump, who interpreted it as a potential secret message.
Trump’s Interpretation of “8647”
In a FOX News interview, Trump claimed the number held a hidden meaning:
- “86” is slang for getting rid of someone.
- “47” might symbolize Trump himself, as the potential 47th president.
Based on this, Trump suggested the number implied an assassination threat against him. Despite Comey deleting the post and asserting it was just a political statement, Trump remained skeptical.
Background and Context
- Comey was fired by Trump in 2017 amid the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
- Since then, Comey has openly supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in their presidential bids.
- Trump has repeatedly called Comey a “dirty cop” and suggested he might face jail time, though deferring legal decisions to the U.S. Attorney General.
Security Concerns and Investigation
The U.S. Secret Service has launched an investigation into Comey’s “8647” post due to concerns it could represent a threat. This comes in the wake of two assassination attempts on Trump last year, heightening security sensitivities.
The “8647” controversy highlights the continuing tension between Trump and Comey, reflecting broader political divisions and security anxieties.
