Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Tuesday on charges of threatening President Trump's life by posting a 2025 Instagram photo of seashells arranged to form '8647'—a reference to Trump being the 47th president. The indictment is the second against Comey in months as part of the Trump administration's legal offensive against critics, though the post's charge (whether political criticism qualifies as a criminal threat) will likely face First Amendment challenges. The indictment treats ambiguous symbolism as direct incitement, raising questions about how courts will interpret symbolic speech in this political context.
