Anti-Trump Instagram pic of seashells now enough to indict ex-FBI directors

A commentary says James Comey’s Instagram post of seashells arranged as “86 47” has been treated as threatening by Trump allies.

The post has become part of renewed Trump-era efforts to pursue Comey legally after earlier cases were dismissed in Virginia.

The dispute shows how a vague social media message can be drawn into a highly politicized fight involving the former FBI director and Trump administration.
