‘No serious dispute’ that Comey’s seashell post could be read as a Trump threat, prosecutors say

The Justice Department defended its prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey concerning a social media post featuring seashells. Prosecutors asserted that there is no serious dispute that this content could be understood as a threat against President Donald Trump, challenging Comey’s account of finding the shells in North Carolina. The government also suggested that the Instagram post was connected to promoting an upcoming novel about a far-right social media personality.
