(-) Feds Open Investigation After ‘86 47’ Burned Into Grass On National Mall

“So this is what he posted on Instagram then took it down: 86-47,” Hemmer said. “As we all know, 86 is an old phrase for get rid of someone.”

Hemmer referenced Comey’s explanation that the image was simply something he noticed while walking on a beach in North Carolina.

Jordan rejected that explanation and argued the post carried a threatening meaning.

“Well, it’s is a crime to threaten the president. 18 USC Section 871. So you can’t do that. And he obviously did,” Jordan said.

“Now, he tries to tell us No, no, no. He was just strolling on the beach one morning drinking his coffee and the good lord washed up on shore and the shells formed 86-47 and he took a picture of it,” Jordan said.

“OK, that’s his story. I don’t think anyone buys that,” he added.

Jordan then broadened his criticism, tying the controversy to Comey’s role in the early Trump-Russia investigation.

“But you can’t threaten the president,” Jordan said. “I think it’s important to remember this is Jim Comey who started it all.”

“This 10-year attack on the president of the United States, on President Trump started with Comey,” he continued.
