Former FBI Director James Comey says the Department of Justice’s decision to pursue a second indictment against him over an Instagram photo reflects former President Donald Trump’s alleged desire for revenge. Comey made the comments in his first interview after the new charges, telling Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC that the pursuit of another case illustrates what he described as Trump’s “bottomless desire” to go after critics. The new indictment is tied to a social media post Comey shared last year showing a beach formation of seashells arranged to display the numbers “86 47,” which prosecutors interpret as a threat to kill Trump. Multiple outlets report that Comey’s remarks focus on the context and intent he believes underlie the government’s action, rather than on the underlying image itself. The story centers on whether the “86 47” seashell arrangement can be interpreted as a coded message and whether the additional indictment changes the overall legal posture for Comey’s prior and current proceedings.
