Former FBI Director James Comey continues to feel the backlash from his “86 47” Instagram post, and now the GOP-controlled Congress is taking action.
Comey quickly fell under investigation over the post featuring a photo of seashells arranged to say “86 47.” Many presumed that ’86’ was used in its traditional sense to say “get rid of” and 47 was representative of the 47th president, Donald Trump, who fired Comey early in his first term for malfeasance.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in the post that has since been deleted, before he posted a follow-up in which he tried to explain it away.
