The post, captioned “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” showed seashells arranged to spell out “86 47.” Critics took the post to imply Comey thinks Trump should be killed, given that he is the 47th president. Then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced an investigation into Comey over the post, which she alleged “called for the assassination” of Trump. Comey’s lawyers say the White House was so fixated on the initial Secret Service investigation that top officials demanded updates while Trump was flying home from Europe. Gravano, ironically, ended up helping Comey’s case further when he suggested FBI agents contact longtime prosecutor John Gleeson for his take.
