Comey being investigated for social media post [View all]





Comey really wasn't thinking with this one.



WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that federal law enforcement is investigating a social media post made by former FBI Director James Comey that she and other Republicans suggest is a call for violence against President Donald Trump.

In an Instagram post, Comey wrote “cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for “86 47.”

Are they frickin kidding me?

And now this:

Watters: Do you believe Comey should be in jail?

Gabbard: I do… Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this
