According to a new exhibit in the criminal federal case against James Comey, his wife Patrice Comey, received a blistering text from a family member for posting “a call for violence” against Trump.
Per investigative reporter Paul Sperry: “I have held my tongue for a long time, but I just can’t do it anymore. You guys have really gone off the deep end over the years with your TDS. “86 47″ is a call for violence no matter how you spin it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I am thoroughly embarrassed to have ever defended the absolute coward that is your husband. You and Jim are some of the least accepting, most hypocritical people I’ve had the displeasure of knowing. I hope Jim goes to jail for his crimes.”

Last week, Paul Sperry revealed that there is evidence that Jim Comey’s wife Patrice sent him a Google screenshot of a non-violent definition of the term “86” two minutes before Comey posted his infamous rock picture of “86-47” on Instagram.

James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post in May 2025.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.
“86 47” is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.
Earlier this year, a grand jury from the Eastern District of North Carolina indicted him on two felony counts:
COUNT ONE: Knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States;
COUNT TWO: knowingly and willfully did transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President, Donald J. Trump
Comey is facing up to 20 years in prison.
In his first statement, Comey implied he did not assemble the shell formation. He claimed that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey previously said on Instagram.
However, James Comey later peddled a BS story explaining how he just stumbled upon a curious formation of shells as he was walking down the beach with his wife.
“We were walking on the beach, we went to the beach to prepare for this week… and we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, ‘why would someone put an address in the sand?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know’ and we stood over and I said, ‘I think it’s some kind of political message,’” Comey said.
Comey then threw his wife under the bus.
“She said you know, when I was a server – she did a lot of work in restaurants – meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, ‘well to me, as a kid it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place.’ And she said well that very clever you should take a picture of that and I did and posted it on my Instagram and though nothing more of it until I heard through her that people were saying that it was a call for some sort of assassination which is crazy!” Comey said.
