Former FBI Director James Comey surrendered on April 29, 2026, to face two federal felony charges alleging that a since-deleted Instagram photo of seashells spelling "86 47" constituted a threat against President Trump's life. The case — Comey's second indictment by the Trump DOJ in under a year — has ignited a fierce legal and constitutional debate over the boundaries of free speech, the "true threat" standard set by the Supreme Court in Counterman v. Colorado, and whether the prosecution represents legitimate law enforcement or political retribution.
