James Comey Makes SHOCK Move After Secret Service Visit — This Will Make You Sick

In a bizarre turn of events, former FBI Director James Comey is back in the headlines—but this time, it’s not for his involvement in high-stakes investigations or his tenure leading the FBI. Instead, he’s under the spotlight for something far more puzzling and controversial: a cryptic post that caught the attention of the Secret Service and led to questions about his motivations and behavior.

James Comey, a key figure in the infamous Russia investigation and the controversial decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton over her email scandal, has found himself in hot water once again. This time, however, it’s not about politics—it’s about a strange incident involving seashells, a cryptic number, and a visit from the Secret Service.

The Controversial Beach Photo and the Secret Service’s Involvement

It all began innocently enough—or so it seemed. James Comey, taking a stroll on a beach with his wife, Patrice, came across a strange arrangement of seashells in the sand. The shells were placed in a manner that seemed to spell out a sequence of numbers: “8647.” At first, Comey was unsure what the number meant, but his wife, who had a background in working in restaurants, joked that “86” was something that meant to remove an item from a menu. Comey shared a photo of the arrangement on his Instagram, likely thinking little of it at the time.

However, what seemed like a harmless act quickly spiraled into something much more sinister. The number “86” is widely known as a code meaning to “eliminate” or “get rid of” something or someone—often used in the context of food items in restaurants. But it also has a darker connotation, especially when it’s posted by someone with Comey’s history, and especially when the number is followed by the digits “47.” Many began to speculate that the number was a veiled threat, with some even suggesting it referred to the removal of former President Donald Trump.

After the post went viral, Comey received a call from the Secret Service, asking him to explain his intentions. His response was that he never intended to send a threatening message, but the Secret Service still requested he meet with them in person to discuss the photo. What seemed like a harmless incident quickly escalated into a full investigation, and the political ramifications of Comey’s actions began to swirl.

The Fallout: Comey’s Attempt to Deflect

In a later interview, Comey tried to downplay the situation, calling the incident a “misunderstanding.” “It was just a walk on the beach with my wife, we saw the shells, I took a picture, and that was it,” he explained. “It was totally innocent.” But the timing and the context raised more than a few eyebrows.

The number “86” has been known to be used as slang in criminal circles to refer to the “removal” of someone, and given Comey’s history as a central figure in several high-profile political investigations, it’s easy to see why people might draw connections. Was this a subtle political message aimed at Trump, or was it just an innocent coincidence?

But Comey’s attempt to shrug off the incident didn’t sit well with many. His decision to post the picture, coupled with his history of controversial actions, has many questioning his true intentions. The Secret Service, who investigated him thoroughly, didn’t seem so quick to dismiss the situation as a misunderstanding.

Comey’s Fiction Career: A Desperate Move for Attention?

This isn’t the first time James Comey has made headlines for controversial behavior. After being dismissed from his post as FBI Director by President Trump, Comey turned to writing, producing a series of thriller novels. His most recent book, “FDR Drive,” features a prosecutor who targets a right-wing media figure, eerily reminiscent of his own political adversaries.

Critics have accused Comey of using his own legal career as inspiration for his novels, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. The plot of “FDR Drive” involves accusations of “stochastic terrorism,” a term used to describe violence incited by indirect means, which some have argued is a thinly veiled critique of the political opponents Comey opposed during his time at the FBI.

Some are now asking if Comey’s writing career, which has earned him millions, is nothing more than an attempt to cash in on his political legacy—while using fiction to settle scores with political enemies. Is it ethical for a former FBI director to profit off his public position in this way? And should someone with such a complicated history, particularly with the Trump administration, be allowed to profit off fictionalized versions of his own experiences?

James Comey’s Wealth and Corruption Allegations

Aside from his new career as an author, Comey’s wealth has also raised some eyebrows. Reports suggest he is now living in a $4 million mansion, a lavish lifestyle funded by the sales of his books, public speaking engagements, and his connection to political elites. Critics point out that Comey’s new-found fortune contrasts sharply with his previous role as a supposed defender of justice, raising questions about whether he used his political status to line his own pockets.

James Comey’s critics argue that his actions—both during his tenure at the FBI and after his dismissal—reveal a man who is more interested in personal gain than public service. With the release of his books, his controversial beach post, and now his connection to multiple political scandals, many are questioning whether Comey should face legal scrutiny for his actions rather than cashing in on his troubled past.

The Bigger Question: Should Comey Be Prosecuted?

While Comey tries to paint himself as a victim of the “Trump era” and “political distraction,” others suggest that his actions may be more than just a political sideshow. The Secret Service’s investigation into his beach photo is just the tip of the iceberg. What about the ongoing scrutiny of his decisions during his time at the FBI? From the Clinton email investigation to the FISA warrant scandal involving Trump’s campaign, Comey’s tenure at the FBI has been marred by controversy, leading many to ask: when will accountability be served?

Should Comey be prosecuted for actions that some argue were politically motivated and legally questionable? His wealth and new career in fiction, combined with his previous high-ranking position in law enforcement, raise significant concerns about the ethics of his actions and whether he should face any real consequences for the part he played in some of the most controversial moments in recent political history.

Conclusion: Is It Time for Accountability?

As Comey continues to sell his novels and live a life of luxury, many Americans are left asking whether he should be held accountable for his past actions. With his connection to political scandals, his attempt to use fiction as a vehicle for revenge, and his growing wealth, Comey’s behavior raises serious questions about integrity, ethics, and justice in the modern political landscape.

So, what do you think? Should James Comey face prosecution for his actions, or is he simply cashing in on the controversy he helped create? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below—this story is far from over, and as new revelations continue to surface, the full truth behind Comey’s actions may be even more shocking than we imagined.
