Summary
Former FBI Director James Comey posted a picture on Instagram of seashells on a beach arranged into the numbers "8647."
Several Trump officials broke into hysterics, claiming that Comey intended the post as a threat. Showing her disregard for the rule of law, the rules of criminal procedure law and the Constitution - one prominent official announced that Comey should be put "behind bars" - apparently without an investigation, indictment, jury trial or verdict.
And Trump expressed his outrage, saying that "a child" would know that Comey's post was a threat.
The problem is, the dictionary definition of "86" does not support Trump and company's claims. Moreover, the criminal law requires a threat to be clear, direct, unambiguous, and unequivocal to potentially support criminal charges.

| 0:09.2 | that makes it easy to compare news sources, read between the lines of media bias, and break free |
| 0:13.7 | from algorithms. Recently, I was using ground news to dig into the economic impact of Trump's proposed |

| 0:21.8 | aide says tariffs will raise $6 trillion, which would be the largest tax hike in U.S. history. |
| 0:27.1 | Meanwhile, over Fox News, the headline read, Trump's $6 trillion tariff plan aims to bring jobs back |
| 0:32.7 | and reduce reliance on China. So is this a devastating tax on American families or a bold move |

| 1:42.0 | These are difficult times. And if you believe in justice, progress, and democracy, the news you |
