Comey was under arrest at his arraignment in a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, earlier this week.
James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post last May.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.
’86 47′ is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.

COUNT TWO: knowingly and willfully did transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President, Donald J. Trump

Comey is facing up to 20 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors will seize James Comey’s book sale profits after he was indicted on two felony counts on charges related to his Trump assassination Instagram post.
The Justice Department issued a forfeiture notice because prosecutors believe Comey posted the ’86 47′ Trump threat to help with sales of his forthcoming book, “Red Verdict.”
“Upon conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the United States any property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense,” the indictment read.
President Trump lashed out at Comey and said his ’86 47′ Instagram post meant “kill President Trump.”
““86” is a mob term for “kill him.” They say 86 him! 86 47 means “kill President Trump.”James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well! EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN! Didn’t he also lie to the FBI about this??? I think so! President DJT” – Trump said on Truth Social.
