Former FBI Director James Comey sparked a Secret Service investigation on May 16, 2025, after posting an Instagram photo of seashells spelling “8647.” Some interpreted “86” as slang for “kill” and “47” as Trump’s presidential number. Comey deleted the post, claiming, “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.” This raises concerns about deep state threats.
The post alarmed Trump supporters, especially after the two assassination attempts last year. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino called it a “call to assassinate Trump.” The Secret Service is investigating, taking the rhetoric seriously. This underscores the ongoing tension with the deep state.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the investigation, saying, “DHS and Secret Service were investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.” Current FBI Director Kash Patel added his agency would “provide all necessary support.” This response highlights how serious this is.
Comey, fired by Trump in 2017, claimed it was a “political message.” He later said, “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind.” Despite his defense, the incident fuels MAGA suspicions of deep state hostility. It’s a stark reminder of past FBI corruption against Trump.
The investigation has galvanized Trump supporters on X. Many see Comey’s post as a deliberate signal, given his history of opposing Trump. The number “8647” has sparked widespread debate online. Patriots are calling for accountability from former officials.
This incident follows Comey’s 2016 handling of the Clinton email probe, which many MAGA supporters blame for political bias. It reinforces their distrust of the FBI’s old guard. The Secret Service’s swift action shows Trump’s team is on high alert. This ensures no threats go unchecked.
