Comey’s Trial Delayed Over Beach Shells

James Comey’s federal trial over that infamous Instagram seashell post—captioned “Cool shell formation on my beach walk” and allegedly spelling “eighty-six forty-seven”—has been delayed until October 21st. The judge granted his motion, citing potential motions to dismiss the indictment, which charges him with threatening President Trump’s life and transmitting a threat across state lines. Comey denies any intent to harm, calling it a political message, and removed the post after public outcry over its violent interpretation. Trump claimed it was a coded assassination call, but Comey insists he never meant it that way. The case, already a legal saga, could hinge on evidence the government still needs to produce. Meanwhile, Comey’s previous false statements charge in Virginia was dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct. Arraignment is now set for September 30th in New Bern, North Carolina.
