Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin said former FBI Director James Comey is going to prison after he posted an assassination threat against President Trump.
“He knew… He’s got a problem. Perjury traps are next. Going to jail on one or the other,” Ed Martin said on the Benny Johnson show on Friday.

James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday, spelled out in seashells: “86 47.”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

After major backlash, Comey deleted the threat and followed up with a statement trying to explain away his assassination post.
Comey’s follow up statement is an obvious lie.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.
Comey implied he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.
