Because they're probably from 2018, which just shows how incredibly prescient the entire movement is. "C comes before D"; you can't explain that. That's time travel shite.

James Comey, the former director of the F.B.I., was in federal court yesterday to face a charge that he had threatened to kill President Trump. Prosecutors say that when Comey posted an image on social media last year, showing seashells arranged on a beach to read “86 47,” it was “a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President.” The numbers were a combination of the slang term “86,” which means to remove or get rid of, with an apparent reference to Trump, the country’s 47th president.

Calling “86” a death threat would come as a surprise to anyone who has worked in a restaurant kitchen. The number is jargon that came out of soda fountains in the 1930s, meaning, We’ve run out of that item, so strike it from the menu. Before I became a journalist, I was a line cook. After I’d fired the final seafood special, say, I’d yell “86 shrimp” to the servers. It meant: Sell no more of those, please. You may know the number from “The Bear,” the restaurant dramedy. Carmy, the chef, 86s the ravioli. (The dish was taking too long to make and putting the kitchen in the weeds.)

Language evolves. Mafia lore allows that “86” means someone needs to be removed, perhaps permanently — though it’s probably not a term you’ll hear on a RICO wiretap. But when the former F.B.I. director posted his seashells, was he really imagining a presidential assassination?

More and more, the government is seeing political criticism as a threat. It is defining the idea of a threat downward. And Trump didn’t start it. Why is this happening? I called Devlin Barrett, who has covered federal law enforcement for more than 20 years. “Most lawyers would tell you the ‘86’ case is a very far stretch from the types of threat cases that federal prosecutors generally pursue,” he told me. “It’s an instance where the Trump administration is taking a much more aggressive and elastic use of criminal-threat law and applying it to a phrase where there is plenty of disagreement over what it actually means.”

As in threats, so too in prosecutions: Intent matters. “There’s been an across-the-board push within the Trump administration to perceive things as threats and prosecute things as threats that past iterations of the D.O.J. would not have pursued,” Devlin told me. In other words: It is another form of politics.

It's dental floss thin. It's harassment prosecution and the whole thing smacks of real malicious prosecution when coupled with the last failed indictment/ prosecution.

I'm no fan of Comey, but he's been out for close to 9 years. Leave him alone if you are Trump, you made him unemployed, that should be enough, plus Trump beat the Russiagate rap. He was vindicated and he got his pound of flesh already.

Yep. It is time to turn off the oven because he is done!!

I was hoping Comey would resist arrest instead turning himself. It would be nice to see him "roughed up" by the po po.
