Removed from office after first Comey case dismissed
James Comey deleted the Instagram post within hours of publishing it. Nearly a year later, a federal grand jury in North Carolina charged him with two counts of threatening the President of the United States over the same fifteen-character image: '8647' written above seashells. The indictment, returned April 28, 2026, is the second federal case Trump's Justice Department has brought against the former FBI Director—the first, filed in Virginia in September 2025, was dismissed when a judge ruled the interim prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed. Alongside the new indictment, Judge Louise Wood Flanagan issued an arrest warrant for Comey; he may be allowed to self-surrender rather than be taken into custody. Within hours, Comey posted a video response on his Substack: 'I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid.'
