The Justice Department issued an arrest warrant for former FBI Director James Comey, claiming in a new indictment that the staunch Donald Trump critic made a threat against the president — albeit one written in sand using seashells.
The matter stems from a photo he posted to social media of seashells arranged on a North Carolina beach to read, “86 47,” the first numbers indicating a slang term for getting rid of someone or something and the second presumed to a reference to Trump, who became the 47th president of the United States in his second term. Justice Department prosecutors wrote in an indictment that the message was “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the president of the United States.”
Absolutely blatantly ridiculous charges, dictatorship style. The point is to show us they can do this without needing anything like a convincing case.

Agreed. That’s not what 86 means. It’s to remove or get rid of.
