I agree Gabbard is out of line. And like Bill, I didn't know the meaning or significance of "86.." I've gotta believe Comey knew what it means, though, or he wouldn't have snapped the picture. It's quite possible he used the photo as a way of getting the message across without making it his message. Indeed, it's possible he arranged the beach message. He no doubt knows it's a crime to threaten the president, and the "look what I stumbled across" gambit makes it hard to pin the message on him. He was up to no good, but I doubt he'll be indicted..

Comey has always struck me as a sanctimonious man incapable of any serious self reflection. That's not a minor flaw, it's huge. I'll take your word for it that he has "high intelligence...," but I've never heard anything he said publicly that would indicate it. His credentials are definitely impressive to say the least, but his behavior and actions over the last several years are awfully dumb. Perhaps his sanctimony and lack of self reflection along with the powerful emotion of unadulterated hatred blinded his intellect.

Exactly. Comey is one of the elite intelligentsia who looks down on the unwashed masses. That attitude has come through in numerous interviews that I have watched. The epitome of an educated fool, knows everything and understands nothing.

I agree with a lot of the commentary regarding the timing of the post immediately preceding the release of his book. Since my attitude concerning the book ( and I think many others as well except the sufferers from TDS) is who cares - he may have decided that any publicity is good publicity.

I am surprised that you were unaware of the reference. Good thing your wife came to the rescue. You are correct in your analysis.
