Comey, Trump, and ‘8647’ - Washington Examiner

Frida Ghitis: There has been a certain escalatory logic in the resistance to Donald Trump's rise to the presidency.

She says they tried to stop him with ridicule, then at the ballot box, then with investigations, then impeachment.

Ghitis says the next step was to kill him, and so on July 13, 2024 , a would-be assassin fired several shots at Trump .

He took down the “8647” post and wrote, “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assume 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.

Bob Greene : Comey seemed to be saying yes, he knew the shells were an anti-Trump message, but he thought it was a dump-Trump sort of thing.
