Comey says seashells post was political speech – not a threat – as he presses to dismiss charges

Former FBI Director James Comey requested dismissal of federal charges against him, arguing a seashells Instagram post with the numbers '86 47' was political speech, not a threat against President Donald Trump. The government claims the post constituted a threat, while Comey's lawyers assert it violates the First Amendment. The case follows a dismissed Virginia case and is part of a broader legal campaign by the Trump administration's Justice Department.
