James Comey’s beachside Instagram post has turned into a federal headache—and Jeanine Pirro, one of Trump’s most vocal defenders, may soon be calling the legal shots. The former FBI director shared a photo of seashells spelling “86 47,” a combination some believe was a coded threat against Donald Trump, the 47th U.S. president.
The term “86” is widely understood as slang for getting rid of something, leading to accusations that Comey’s post crossed a line. He has since removed the image and denied any malicious intent, but the Secret Service and DHS are digging deeper.
Now, Pirro—freshly appointed as acting U.S. Attorney for D.C.—could find herself overseeing the case if charges are filed. A former judge and outspoken Trump supporter, Pirro has never shied away from high-profile legal battles. While Attorney General Pam Bondi holds ultimate authority, Pirro’s involvement would add fuel to an already explosive situation.
The saga reflects America’s tense political climate, where even a vacation snapshot can become a legal minefield. As investigators weigh the evidence, the question remains: Was this a harmless post or something more sinister?
