Former FBI Director Comey claims no ill intent with Instagram post about Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey said on Monday MSNBC that he had no bad intention with his Controversial Instagram Post “86 47” And that he was not intimidated by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Comey posted a photo of the shells configured on Thursday to say “86 47.” The number “86” usually means to get rid of something or someone, and “47” refers to Trump 47. Some saw this as a threat, but Comey claimed that he thought it was a smart political statement against Trump and had no violent intentions.

Nicolle Wallace MSNBC asked Comey: “Between posting a picture and call from a secret service, did you have any bowel check like:” Well, they revised me in an extraordinary way. I was under investigation years after he fired me. “… did you regret posting a picture?”

“I regret disturbing and controversy around her,” Comey replied. “But again, it’s hard to regret something that makes me even innocently innocent.”

“I didn’t have a bowel check. I explored a lot in Trump’s era, I revised a lot, and so my first birth is not my first.

“I really thought I was done [with Trump]. I was in another life. I was a grandfather and author, wearing sweaters and jeans. And then I went for a walk through the beach and posted a silly picture of a grenade that I thought was a smart way to express a political view. And in fact, I still think it’s, “he added.” I don’t see it the way some people still say, but again, I don’t want any part of the violence. I was never associated with violence, and that’s why I knocked it down. ”

Comey, who also has a thriller this week, said his wife noticed the shell while leaving the beach and knew “86” phrase as a restaurant server to mean downloading something from the menu. He claimed as a child he thought it was to leave or reject a place.

“I didn’t really consider it a political speech, but I thought,” What a clever way to express a political attitude, “Comey said as he admired the details.” The shells were the same colors for each letter … it took a lot of work. Someone with an artistic feeling did this, and I hardly believe it was anyone with a dark intent, and it was certainly not a dark intention on my part or my spouse. “

When asked what happens if Trump politicizes the government against him, Comey said, “The first thing I will do is get up and defend myself because I’m not afraid. I believe in the rule of law in this country. It is under attack, but that exists.”

In a statement for Fox News DigitalHarrison Fields, a special Assistant President and Deputy General of the press, replied: “The shameful former FBI director James Comey, who was released by President Trump for rough incompetence and incapacity for the role, suffers from the incurable case of Trump’s syndrome.”

Fields added that Comey’s “recently doubled the incomprehensible and dangerous rhetoric directed at Trump President, underlines his belittling and dedication to divisions and politics, not loyalty to the country. The appropriate federal agencies explore his priceless actions and take fast measures if he guarantees them.”
