Comey’s Trial Delayed Over Seashell Post

James Comey’s federal trial over that viral Instagram seashell post—captioned “Cool shell formation on my beach walk” but secretly spelling “eighty-six forty-seven”—has been delayed until October 21st. Originally scheduled for July 15th, the case hinges on whether Comey’s innocent intent can be proven, as Trump interpreted the slang as a threat to his life. Comey claims he saw it as a political message and only realized the violent connotation after others pointed it out, leading him to delete the post. His defense team plans to file motions to dismiss the indictment, citing pending evidence from the government. If the case proceeds, Comey will face arraignment on September 30th in New Bern, NC. This isn’t his first legal scrape—he was previously charged in Virginia for false statements, but that case was thrown out over procedural errors. The whole saga remains bizarre, and the courtroom showdown won’t arrive until October. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
