This resolution unequivocally condemns former FBI Director James Comey for his alleged incitement of political violence against President Donald J. Trump. The condemnation stems from a social media post on May 15, 2025, where Comey shared an image with the phrase "86-47" and the caption "cool shell formation," which the resolution interprets as a call for the President's elimination. This message, from a former top law enforcement official, is deemed indefensible and dangerous, especially given its timing during President Trump's overseas visit and previous assassination attempts against him. The resolution asserts that Comey has a history of undermining President Trump and misusing his power, including leaking sensitive information. It emphasizes that political violence is unacceptable and that public officials should not use their influence to threaten political opponents. Therefore, the House of Representatives urges relevant authorities to ensure Comey is never again permitted federal employment and requests the Department of Justice to conduct a full investigation into his actions, releasing the findings to Congress and the public.
