INSIGHT

Comey Indicted For Seashell Instagram Post

  • Jim Comey was indicted over a beach Instagram post (shells arranged 8647) alleged as a threat against the president under 18 U.S.C. 871.
  • Dan Bongino contrasts this straightforward public-post-based case with the earlier Russiagate FISA/dossier tactics to argue different investigative integrity.
ADVICE

Anticipate First Amendment And Intent Arguments In Case

  • Expect legal defenses to invoke First Amendment and intent; prosecutors may point to Comey deleting the Instagram post as consciousness of guilt.
  • Bongino notes grand jury presentation and non-public evidence reportedly supporting prosecutors' view of Comey's intent.
ADVICE

Investigate All Threats Against The President

  • Threats or implied threats against the president must be investigated and prosecuted under existing law to avoid normalizing violent rhetoric.
  • Acting AG Todd Blanche emphasized that failing to treat threats seriously signals permission to escalate and endangers public safety.
