Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Donald Trump for a second time, stemming from an Instagram post featuring a formation of seashells. The post, captioned 'Cool shell formation on my beach walk,' has raised eyebrows due to its alleged implications, particularly the number '8647,' which some interpret as a reference to violence against the president. During a live broadcast, CNN anchor Brianna Keilar challenged Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) on the seriousness of the indictment, questioning whether such a post warranted legal action. Alford argued that Comey, being intelligent, should have understood the implications of the term '86,' which in restaurant slang means to remove an order, and suggested it could be interpreted as a threat. The specifics of the charges have not been released, leaving many to debate the appropriateness of the indictment.
