Trump Administration Issues Another Indictment Against Comey
The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it was pursuing charges against James Comey, the former F.B.I. director, for a deleted Instagram post displaying seashells arranged in a way that the administration claimed threatened the president.
The first count is that on or about May 15 of last year, he knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon the president of the United States. Count 2: same day, May 15, 2025, that the defendant, James Comey, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the president of the United States. Well, they’re back, this time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago, and this won’t be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I’m still innocent. I’m still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary, so let’s go. But it’s really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is, we get closer every day to restoring those values. Keep the faith.
