Former FBI Director James Comey ran to MSNBC in his first public appearance after he called for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
James Comey was interviewed by the US Secret Service on Friday afternoon at the Washington Field Office.
Comey is under investigation for calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
“86 47” = Kill Trump
According to CNN, James Comey was not in custody. He voluntarily went in for the interview with Secret Service.
Comey’s follow up statement was an obvious lie.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.
Comey implied he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.
On Monday, James Comey (as he conveniently plugged his new book) peddled a BS story explaining how he just stumbled upon a curious formation of shells as he was walking down the beach with his wife.
“Yeah, all for walking on the beach with my wife. So I don’t know how we ended up here. Never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that’s the time we live in,” Comey told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace.
“So, take me back to the walk on the beach,” Nicolle Wallace said.
“We were walking on the beach, we went to the beach to prepare for this week… and we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, ‘why would someone put an address in the sand?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know’ and we stood over and I said, ‘I think it’s some kind of political message,’” Comey said.
Comey then threw his wife under the bus.
“She said you know, when I was a server – she did a lot of work in restaurants – meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, ‘well to me, as a kid it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place.’ And she said well that very clever you should take a picture of that and I did and posted it on my Instagram and though nothing more of it until I heard through her that people were saying that it was a call for some sort of assassination which is crazy!” Comey said.
Who believes this story?

Comey told Nicolle Wallace that he’s just an old boring grandfather who likes to wear jeans and sweaters so he was impressed by the person who created the clever political message out of shells.

JUST IN: James Comey says he’s just a silly old man who wears sweaters and jeans, and was so enamored with the random “clever” shells he “found” on the sand.
Comey also boasted about his tax refund, which earned him $347.
