La Segretaria alla Sicurezza Interna, Kristi Noem, ha reso noto giovedì che le autorità federali competenti stanno esaminando un post sui social media pubblicato dall'ex direttore dell'FBI James Comey, che, a detta sua e di altri esponenti repubblicani, alluderebbe a un'incitazione alla violenza nei confronti del Presidente Donald Trump.

In an Instagram post, Comey captioned a photograph of shells arranged to resemble the numbers "86 47" with the phrase "cool shell formation on my beach walk."

Several officials within the Trump administration, including Noem, alleged that Comey was inciting the assassination of Trump, the 47th President. Noem stated, "The DHS and Secret Service are investigating this potential threat and will respond accordingly."

Merriam-Webster, il dizionario di riferimento dell'Associated Press, definisce "86" nello slang come "escludere", "eliminare" o "negare il servizio". Il dizionario specifica inoltre che un'accezione più recente estende i significati precedenti fino a includere "uccidere", precisando tuttavia di non prendere in considerazione tale uso data la sua novità e la sua diffusione limitata.

Il post è stato in seguito rimosso. Successivamente, Comey ha precisato: "Avevo inizialmente condiviso una fotografia di conchiglie raccolte durante una passeggiata odierna sulla spiaggia, senza anticipare che potesse essere interpretata come un'affermazione politica. Non ero consapevole dell'associazione di tali elementi numerici con contesti di violenza, sensibilità che non avevo considerato."

Comey's initial post ignited a firestorm of outrage among conservatives on social media, with Donald Trump Jr. accusing him of tacitly encouraging the assassination of his father.

The current FBI Director, Kash Patel, has stated he is cognizant of the post and has consulted with both the Secret Service and its director regarding the matter.

James Blair, vice capo dello staff della Casa Bianca per gli affari legislativi, politici e pubblici, ha fatto notare come la pubblicazione sia giunta in un frangente particolarmente delicato, data la concomitanza con il viaggio di Trump in Medio Oriente.

Blair ha postato su X un commento al vetriolo, definendo le parole di Jim Comey un incitamento sfacciato rivolto a terroristi e regimi avversi, quasi un invito a eliminare il Presidente degli Stati Uniti durante la sua trasferta in Medio Oriente.

James Comey, who served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017, was dismissed by President Trump during his first term amidst the bureau's investigation into allegations of collusion between Russian officials and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign; Comey subsequently chronicled his career in the best-selling memoir, "A Higher Loyalty."

He is currently writing crime novels and promoting his latest book, "FDR Drive," which will be released on Tuesday.
