Today’s Big Story…

Former FBI Director James Comey sparked controversy by posting an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to spell "86 47," captioned "Cool shell formation on my beach walk."

Many interpreted "86" as slang for killing and "47" as a reference to President Trump, the 47th president, suggesting a veiled threat. Comey deleted the post, claiming he didn’t realize the numbers could be associated with violence, but the backlash has been swift and loud.

In a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, Trump called Comey a “dirty cop,” insisting he “knew exactly” the post implied assassination, emphasizing its clarity even to a child. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service were investigating the post as a potential threat. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, appearing on Fox News, labeled it a “call to action to murder” Trump and demanded that Comey be jailed. The Secret Service confirmed it was probing the post, with agents interviewing Comey this weekend.

Current FBI Director Kash Patel pledged support for the Secret Service’s investigation. Public figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Senator Tom Cotton, called for accountability, with Cotton urging a broader FBI probe into Comey’s actions. The incident fueled widespread outrage, with many condemning Comey’s post as reckless given Trump’s history of surviving two assassination attempts.

Another Big Story…

Meanwhile, Director Patel announced the relocation of 1,500 FBI agents from the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C., citing safety concerns and the need to better distribute the workforce.

The Hoover Building, operational since 1975, is deemed unsafe due to its aging infrastructure, with visible damage like falling concrete requiring net protection. Patel noted that 11,000 of the FBI’s 38,000 employees are concentrated in the D.C. area, disproportionate to crime rates, justifying the move to field offices nationwide. The relocation plan involves transferring 1,000 agents to high-crime areas and 500 to a Huntsville, Alabama, facility over the next three to nine months. Every state will receive additional personnel to enhance crime-fighting efforts and inspire recruitment.

The decision aligns with Patel’s vision to reduce the FBI’s D.C. footprint, a plan he communicated on his first day as director. Support for the move comes from figures like former agent Chris O’Leary, who acknowledges headquarters’ inefficiencies, and X posts praising the reduction of bureaucratic bloat. A 2011 Government Accountability Office report further corroborated the building’s inefficiencies and need for major repairs, reinforcing Patel’s safety concerns.
