GOP seeks to bar James Comey from federal positions
- On Friday, members of the House Republican Study Committee proposed a measure aimed at preventing James Comey, the former FBI Director, from serving in any federal government role.
- The resolution followed Comey's Thursday Instagram post showing the numbers 8647 arranged in seashells, which was perceived as a call for President Trump's removal or assassination.
- Trump and other Republicans criticized the post, with Trump asserting that anyone in the position of FBI director would understand its implications clearly, interpreting it as a threat of assassination.
- The resolution urges authorities to investigate and ensure Comey never serves as a federal employee again, while Comey denied awareness of any violent meaning in the numbers.
- This action signals intensified GOP efforts to prevent Comey’s return to federal service amid continued political tensions stemming from his past and recent conduct.
