James Comey Says He Didn't Have 'Gut Check' Before Trump '8647' Post

By Gabe Whisnant
Former FBI Director James Comey addressed the controversy surrounding his recent Instagram post featuring the numbers "86 47" spelled out in seashells. In an interview with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC, Comey explained that he and his wife interpreted "86" as a restaurant term meaning to remove an item from the menu, and "47" as a reference to President Donald Trump being the 47th president.
He acknowledged that he did not perform a "gut check" before posting the image and expressed regret for the distraction it caused. Comey emphasized that the post was "totally innocent" and not intended as a threat.
