Trump spoke on the photo of the shell on the beach arranged in the shape of 86 and 47 numbers posted by Comey. “Cool formation of shells while walking on the beach” – wrote the former head of the FBI. His entry caused outrage, because the number 86 used as a verb in slang can be understood as a call to get rid of or kill someone, while 47 means 47. President, i.e. Trump. According to the Oxford English Dictionary dictionary, the return comes from the waiter jargon, where 86 was an abbreviation that means that there is no item on the menu, or meaning the client out of the premises. In a broader sense, it is currently to mean “getting rid of” or “throwing” someone.
As Trump said in a Friday interview with Bret Baierr from Fox News in Abu Dhabi, Comey “knew exactly what he was doing.” “If you are the FBI director and you don't know what it meant,” it means murder and it was said loudly and clearly, “Trump said.
Comey apologized for the entry
On Thursday, the current director of the FBI Kash Patel announced that he was considering investigating an investigation into the entry of his predecessor, and the national intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard said that Comey should “hit the grilles”. Trump announced that he would allow the prosecutor general Pam Bondi to make a decision whether to charge him.
Comey himself apologized for his entry. He assured that he did not know that “some people bind these numbers with violence,” and noted that he was opposed to violence.
James Comey was the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2013-2017 and was released by Trump during the first term in connection with his investigation into the Russian connections of people around the president.
Despite Trump's allegations, that Comey called for his murder, the same number of numbers – 86 used many allies of the current president. The former Trump's candidate for the Prosecutor General, former Congressmen Matt Gaetz used this wording, writing about deprived the office of the chairman of the Chamber of Representatives. The number “8646”, and thus referring to Joe Biden, was a popular motif of t -shirts, cups or stickers used by Trump's supporters.
