Comey’s Trial Delayed Over ‘86 47’ Post
from Texas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Former FBI Director James Comey’s high-profile trial over an Instagram post—where he spelled “86 47” with seashells—has been delayed to October 21st. The post, captioned “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” sparked outrage when President Trump interpreted it as a coded threat to his life. Comey insists it was a harmless political message, not a call for violence. The judge granted the delay to allow Comey’s team time to file motions to dismiss the case, which may hinge on undisclosed evidence. If the charges stand, Comey will face arraignment on September 30th. This isn’t his first legal battle—he was previously charged for false statements in a congressional hearing, but that case was dismissed over procedural errors. With the new trial date, both sides now have more time to navigate the bizarre and politically charged meaning behind “86 47.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
