US EditionFBI Director Kash Patel Fumes over James Comey ‘Copycats’ Forcing Overwhelmed Agency to Pull Agents Off Child Sex Predator, Drug Trafficking Cases
- FBI Director Kash Patel reported on May 28, 2025, at Quantico that the bureau must investigate a surge of threats linked to James Comey's Instagram post featuring the number 8647.
- This surge followed Comey's May 15 post showing seashells arranged as '86 47', which many Republicans interpreted as a coded threat against President Donald Trump.
- Patel explained that agents who normally focus on investigating serious criminal activities, such as sexual offenses against children, illicit drug distribution, and national security threats, have been reassigned to address an increase in copycat incidents linked to Comey’s actions.
- Patel told Fox News that he has had to redirect agents away from investigating offenses such as child exploitation, drug trafficking, and terrorism due to the additional workload created by certain actions.
- Patel said Comey's post has demoralized FBI agents, distracted the bureau from its core mission, and sparked broader concerns about politicizing law enforcement priorities.
