CNN Legal Analyst Thinks Trump Just Handed Comey An Acquittal

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig believes President Donald Trump might have just tanked his Department of Justice’s criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey after the president vacillated on Wednesday about whether Comey had really threatened his life in a seashell message.

Comey was indicted earlier this week after sharing a now-deleted image on social media of seashells arranged on a beach to read “86 47.” (Trump is the 47th U.S. president.)

Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the term “86,” commonly used in restaurants to signal to staff to discard a food item, was a “mob term for ‘kill him.’”

“The Source” host Kaitlan Collins followed up by asking the president if he really thought his life was in danger.

2nd Amendment rights, and kills whoever gets in his way, doesn't mean we do.

And, just because a few snipers have taken shots in this gun culture fascist have created doesn't mean Comey wants to kill him.

Thanks, she~

It means that a food item on the menu has run out for the evening, and it is 86…/And it could also be used to 86 someone. to make them leave the establishment, to remove them, as in a drunk. It has nothing to do with killing anyone.

I've read it was like "rhyming slang" with the word "nix", and also something about a famous NYC speakeasy at 86 Bedford Street which is widely viewed as apocryphal, but who knows. It sure as shit has nothing to do to killing people, as you say. And practically EVERYONE in the USA knows that, but Demented Donnie shows his contempt of the citizenry by telling bullshit lies to our faces every damn day, including this fucking lie. LOW IQ LOSER.
