Summary

This Senate resolution unequivocally condemns former FBI Director James B. Comey for what it describes as inciting political violence against President Donald J. Trump. The condemnation stems from an Instagram post by Mr. Comey on May 15, 2025, depicting the numbers "86 47" with the caption "cool shell formation," which the resolution interprets as promoting violence against the President and jeopardizing his security during an overseas trip. The resolution further urges relevant authorities to ensure Mr. Comey is never again permitted to serve as an employee of the Federal Government . Additionally, it requests that the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security conduct a full and comprehensive investigation into Mr. Comey's alleged attempts to incite violence. The findings of this investigation are to be released to relevant congressional committees and the public, aiming to hold Mr. Comey accountable for violating public trust and preserving the rule of law.
