Trump compares Comey’s seashell ‘threat’ to a mob hit in Oval Office rant

• James Comey, a former FBI Director, surrendered to authorities after being indicted on two felony counts related to a social media post.
• The charges stem from an Instagram photo Comey posted last year, which depicted seashells spelling out "86 47."
• While Comey stated the phrase was meant to indicate Trump should be removed from office, Trump suggested "86" is a mob term for murder.
• “You know, you ever see the movies ... the mobster says to one of his wonderful associates, ‘86 him’ — that means, kill him. I think of it as a mob term. I don't know. People think of it as something having to do with disappearing, but the mob uses that term to say, when they want to kill somebody, they say ‘86 the son of a gun,’” Trump said from the Oval Office.
• Legal experts express skepticism that the charges will withstand a motion to dismiss, arguing the allegations do not meet the Supreme Court's threshold for threats against a president.
