James Comey Indicted Again Over Cryptic Instagram Seashell Post

Former FBI chief James Comey has been indicted once more by a US federal grand jury over an Instagram post. The fresh charges by the Justice Department follow a previous case that collapsed on procedural grounds. The post in question showed seashells arranged as “86 47,” which critics said was a coded threat against the 47th president. Comey denied any harmful intent, saying he was unaware of any violent meaning and removed the image after learning of the interpretation. This new indictment revives concerns about prosecutorial independence and political pressure. It comes months after a court dismissed earlier charges due to a technicality and amid calls from former President Trump to pursue political opponents.
