Anti-Trump Instagram pic of seashells now enough to indict ex-FBI directors
In my misspent youth, I once worked a summer job as a waiter at Shoney’s. It is an experience that I do not recommend. But it did teach me two valuable things: 1) How not to drown in a puddle of my own embarrassment when marching around the dining room with my fellow servers and singing a birthday song that began, “Happy, happy birthday, we’re so glad you came”; and 2) That when the surly line cooks ran out of chicken fried steak, they would shout “86 the chicken fried steak!” through the pass.
TL;DR
- James Comey was indicted on new charges of threatening the president.
- The indictment is based on an Instagram post of seashells arranged to form "86 47."
- The Department of Justice interprets the seashell image as a serious threat to the President of the United States.
- Critics, including Above the Law, have called the DOJ's move a "new low point for DOJ integrity."
- The author suggests the federal government is willing to pursue individuals for social media posts disliked by Trump.
