DOJ To Prosecute Comey
An attorney for James Comey stated the case against him is a vendetta by President Donald Trump. The accusation involves an image Comey shared on social media depicting seashells forming the numbers 86 and 47. While Trump and administration officials characterized the post as a threat against the 47th president, Comey maintains he was unaware of the slang meaning of the numbers. Comey's attorney stated the case is a prosecution intended to punish the former FBI director for exercising his legal rights. Comey maintains his innocence and intends to fight the accusations. The source mentioned that certain terms used in the case are considered mob terminology.
