Former FBI Director James Comey ignited a firestorm when he posted an image of seashells that formed the numbers 86 47, and Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, believes he should be criminally prosecuted for it.
The number 86 is a common term for getting rid of someone or something, and 47 represents President Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States.
The former FBI Director deleted his tweet and gave a weak explanation, but the damage had been done.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” he said on Instagram.
When Gabbard appeared on Fox News on Thursday night, hours after Comey’s post, host Jesse Watters asked her. “How serious is the administration taking this? And what are the next steps going to be?
“We’re taking this very seriously. As you mentioned, the Department of Homeland Security and specifically Sean Curran, the current Secret Service director, a man who has been willing to lay down his life as the lead of President Trump’s Secret Service detail for years now, he takes this seriously and is leading the investigation into this threat. There has to be accountability for this,” the DNI director said.
“There was a Rutgers study that just came out a little over a month ago, Jesse, that asked respondents their view on these calls to assassinate President Trump. And over 55 percent of respondents felt that murdering President Trump would be, quote-unquote, somewhat justified. This is the effect of people like James Comey doing this kind of stuff,” Gabbard said.
“This study also pointed out that there is a, quote-unquote, assassination culture that is starting to take over the views of what they call the extreme left. We, the American people, cannot take this lightly. Whatever your politics, we cannot allow people to get by without being held accountable for this kind of public call to assassinate the president of the United States,” she said.
