[DpfWp0yLLpL] Health Updated on August 07, 2026 EDT — Published on August 07, 2026 EDT James Comey is asking a federal judge to dismiss the criminal case against him over the “86 47” seashell photograph he posted on Instagram. Federal prosecutors allege that the post constituted a threat against President Donald Trump. Comey’s attorneys argue it was protected political speech—not a legally prosecutable “true threat.” The judge hasn’t ruled, and the charges remain allegations. But the case raises a much larger constitutional question: How far can the government go when political speech makes those in power uncomfortable?
