Secret Service Questions Comey Over Anti-Trump Social Media Post
Former FBI Director James Comey was questioned by the Secret Service concerning a social media post interpreted as a potential threat against former President Donald Trump.
The Controversial Post
The post, featuring the phrase "86 47," sparked concern due to its perceived double meaning. "86" is slang for removal or elimination, and "47" references Trump's potential future as the 47th president.
Secret Service Inquiry
The Secret Service's inquiry aimed to assess the context and intent behind Comey's message. This reflects the heightened vigilance surrounding threats against political figures.
Interpreting Online Communication
The incident highlights the challenges of interpreting online communication and the fine line between protected speech and potential incitement.
