President Donald Trump said on Friday that former FBI director James Comey “asked the president's murder” in a social media post that had been dissolved in which the numbers “8647” contained.
The figures were quickly read by people in Trump's orbit when Comey asked people to “86” or get rid of the 47th President of the United States of Trump.
“He knew exactly what that meant,” said Trump in an interview with Fox News, one day after the opening ministerial for home protection and the secret service, an investigation by Comeys Instagram Post.
“A child knows what that means. If you are the FBI director and do not know … that meant 'assassination',” said the president. “And it says it loudly.”
“Our country is respected again, and all of this, and he demands the president's murder,” said Trump, who narrowly survived the bullet of an assassin last summer.
Trump's characterization of Comey's post repeated the DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who on Thursday the former FBI director “described the murder of @Potus Trump”.
The deputy chief of staff of the White House, Taylor Budowich, said that Comey had “clearly as a hit” on Trump. Donald Trump Jr. said that the ex-director was casual “demanded that my father be murdered.
Comey denied that his Instagram post represents the numbers “8647” for Trump, who had released him as a FBI director in May 2017 after the office began to investigate contacts between members of Trump's presidential campaign and Russians.
“I used to post a picture of a few mussels that I saw on a beach walk today that I had assumed that it was a political message,” wrote Comey on Thursday evening in an Instagram contribution.
“I didn't notice that some people associate these numbers by force,” wrote Comey. “It never occurred to me, but I reject violence of any kind, so I put down the post.”

The term “sixth of six” is a verb that defines Merriam-Webster's online dictionary as informal to “throw out or prohibit a customer” and “to reject, end or get rid of”.
When Brett Baier from Fox News found on Friday that Comey said that he was not asking for violence, Trump said: “Well, he apologized because he was hit.”
When asked what he wanted to see with Comey, Trump was disappointed and said that it would be with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“I don't want to take on a position because this has to do with Pam and all the great people, but I'll say that,” said Trump.
“I think it's a terrible thing,” said Trump. “He is a dirty policeman. He is a dirty policeman. And if he had a clean story … I could understand whether there was a forbearance. But I will make her make this decision.”
The spokesman for the Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, said in an explanation: “The secret service energetically examines everything that can be seen as a potential threat to our protectors.”
“We are aware of the social media contributions from the former FBI director and take rhetoric so seriously. In addition, we do not comment on any matters of the protection information,” said Guglielmi.
In an explanation, the Rede-Rede-advocacy Group Foundation said for individual rights and expression that Comey's Post “is protected by the first change”.
“It is neither a true threat nor the investigation of the federal government,” said Fire in this explanation. “86 has many possible meanings, and the idea of writing it in mussels and publishing it on Instagram is a real threat.
