A puzzling Instagram post has landed former FBI Director James Comey in hot water—and Jeanine Pirro, a staunch Trump ally, may soon be deciding his legal fate. The post, which featured seashells arranged to read “86 47,” has raised eyebrows, with some interpreting it as a hidden threat against Donald Trump, the nation’s 47th president.
The slang term “86” often means to eliminate or discard something, fueling theories that Comey’s post carried a dangerous message. Though Comey insists he had no ill intent and opposes violence, federal authorities aren’t taking any chances—the Secret Service and DHS are investigating.
Enter Jeanine Pirro, the fiery Fox News personality recently named acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. Known for her fierce loyalty to Trump, Pirro could play a pivotal role if charges are filed. While Attorney General Pam Bondi will make the final decision, Pirro’s position puts her in line to lead the prosecution.
The controversy highlights how even seemingly innocent social media posts can trigger major legal battles in today’s hyper-politicized climate. As the probe continues, one thing is clear: Comey’s shell game has far from ended.
