Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asserted on Thursday that federal law enforcement agencies are currently scrutinising a social media post disseminated by former FBI Director James Comey, a post which she, alongside other Republican figures, alleges constitutes an incitement to violence against President Donald J. Trump.
In an Instagram dispatch, Comey appended the caption "Intriguing conch assemblage unearthed during littoral perambulation" to an image of seashells, their disposition approximating the numerical sequence "86 47".
Numerous erstwhile members of the Trump administration, N. particulariter, have averred that Comey was advocating the assassination of the then-incumbent, the 47th President of the United States; N. elaborated, stating: "The Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service are actively investigating this alleged threat and will effectuate a response commensurate with its exigency."
As per the Associated Press Stylebook, relying on *Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary* as arbiter of lexical meaning, the slang term "86" denotes the act of discarding, eliminating, or refusing service; the dictionary elucidates this etymological trajectory, positing that its more recent application, signifying "to kill," constitutes a logical, albeit less established and therefore uncodified, extension of its pre-existing semantic range.
Subsequent to its initial publication, the aforementioned post was expunged from the platform. Thereupon, Comey elucidated, "My prior communiqué, featuring a photographic depiction of sundry seashells encountered during my ambulatory perambulations upon the littoral expanse earlier today, was intended as an apolitical observation. I had not anticipated the propensity of certain individuals to impute a connection between the numerical configuration therein and acts of deleterious violence."
科米最初的帖子甫一发布,便在社交媒体上激起保守派人士的强烈愤慨,其中唐纳德·特朗普之子,小唐纳德·特朗普,更是言辞激烈地指控科米公然煽动对其父的谋杀。
Incumbent FBI Director Kash Patel has acknowledged awareness of the aforementioned post and is currently in consultation with the Secret Service and its Director to formulate a contingency protocol.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative, Political, and Intergovernmental Affairs, James Blair, posited that the timing of the aforementioned post was particularly exigent, given President Trump's ongoing peregrination through the Middle East.
Blair, in a dispatch via X, articulated: "This constitutes a stark and unambiguous clarion call, issued by Comey, to terrorist factions and adversarial regimes alike, exhorting them to capitalize on the U.S. President's peregrinations in the Middle East by perpetrating acts of aggression."
科米于 2013 年至 2017 年间执掌联邦调查局,后因其治下 FBI 对俄罗斯官员与特朗普 2016 年总统竞选团队之间关联的调查,在后者首个总统任期内便被革职。科米在其畅销回忆录《更高的忠诚》中,详尽追溯了其跌宕起伏的职业生涯。
Now a purveyor of the crimenovel, he is currently engaged in the promotional blitz for his latest opus, "FDR Drive," slated for release on Tuesday.
