[00:00:00]Former FBI Director James Comey made his first appearance in court yesterday.

[00:00:04]Comey was indicted in North Carolina on Tuesday on charges of making threats against President Trump.

[00:00:11]People should be very wary of threatening the life of President Trump because that is a crime.

[00:00:19]Full stop, okay? Now, whether it's a crime that what we will ultimately charge depending on, you know, you mentioned the First Amendment, sure, or other case or other investigative um steps or things that we learn or things that we that we uncover from talking to witnesses, reviewing evidence.

[00:00:36]People like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others. He, you know, Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop.

[00:00:47]The charges against Comey stem from that social media post he made last year, the post including a photograph of seashells arranged in the numbers 8647.

[00:00:57]86 is a slang slang term, which can also mean to kill someone.

[00:01:01]President Trump is the 47th president of the United States. The number 86 is also used in the restaurant industry to mean get rid of or throw something out.

[00:01:12]The indictment alleged that a reasonable recipient of the message would interpret it as a threat to Trump. Comey has said he is innocent and will file he will fight these accusations in the court.
