DRAMATIC TWIST: James Comey Investigation Shifts Sharply Following Major Revelation From Key Republican Official
Washington D.C. — Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina defended former FBI Director James Comey during an interview on CNN. The discussion centered on Comey’s indictment related to a social media post featuring seashells arranged as “8647.”
Tillis said he does not believe posting “8647” is a crime. He stated that if the prosecution from the Eastern District of North Carolina is based on a picture in the sand of a North Carolina beach, it makes no sense to him. He referenced his experience in the restaurant industry and the term “86ing” a menu item or product.
Comey was indicted in late April on two felony charges. The charges include knowingly and willfully making a threat to kill and inflict bodily harm on the President of the United States and knowingly and willfully transmitting a communication across interstate and foreign commerce that contained a threat to kill President Donald Trump.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed on the same program that the charges against Comey stem from a year-long investigation by several federal agencies, including the FBI and the Secret Service. He reminded viewers that the indictment was handed down by a grand jury after seeing the evidence.
