Paul Sperry: Federal Prosecutors Reveal Evidence That James Comey Knew Full Well That "86" Was Code for "Murder," and Actually Wrote a Whole "Novel" Whose Plot Revolved Around Stirring Up Public Passions to Get Someone to Assassinate a Politician

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
NEW: The passages that federal prosecutors cite from James Comey's 2025 novel "FDR Drive" are compelling in establishing "mens rea" (guilty mind), because they depict conduct that is similar to a not-so-subtle call for violence against President Trump alleged in the Comey case.

BREAKING: Prosecutors will argue at trial a book by James Comey shows he had a state of mind to "k*ll President Trump" thru "stochastic terrorism" (in Comey's own words) by posting an image "86 47" to his 200k Instagram followers. Comey's novel describes a podcaster who "through the wonder of the Internet" convinces his fans of "k*lling his foes."
"It's where a charismatic leader jacks people up, but through the wonder of the Internet, avoids a direct connection to what comes next," Comey wrote in "FDR Drive," which came out just five days after Comey posted his seashell threat in May 2025, less than a year after two attempts on Trump's life, inclg one in which he was shot in the ear.
"He knows an attack will follow his words but he closes his eyes so he can say he wasn't part of it," Comey wrote, providing more evidence of intent.
"People are susceptible to [social media] messages that offer a sense of purpose through violence," Comey also wrote, and because those messages are "in your pocket reaching you constantly through your buzzing phone [i]t's an order of magnitude more effective and more dangerous."

Comey is pretending he didn't know that "86" is mafia slang for killing someone.

One of Comey's own relatives called him out for using the not-so-secret-code for assassination:

BREAKING: A new court exhibit reveals a relative of James Comey sent a blistering text to wife Patrice Comey lambasting them for posting "a call for violence" against President Trump, asserting: "I have held my tongue for a long time, but I just can't do it anymore. You guys have really gone off the deep end over the years with your TDS. "86 47" is a call for violence no matter how you spin it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I am thoroughly embarrassed to have ever defended the absolute coward that is your husband. You and Jim are some of the least accepting, most hypocritical people I've had the displeasure of knowing. I hope Jim goes to jail for his crimes."

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: In a new court filing, prosecutors suggest James Comey's wife Patrice deliberately misled investigators by omitting the fact she texted her husband a possible alibi just two minutes before he posted his "86" threat against President Trump, in the form of a Google screenshot of a benign definition for "86."
Federal investigators learned of her omission from search warrants to obtain iCloud data and Google search history related to the Comeys.
Former FBI Director Comey was fired by Trump in 2017 over the #RussiagateHoax he orchestrated. Patrice Comey and her daughters campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016 while her husband opened multiple unpredicated investigations against her GOP opponent.

Below, excerpts from Comey's "novel" -- or long confession -- in which he discusses the power of ginning up a public appetite for killing "enemies," knowing for a fact that of the many people he's inspired to kill, at least one of the "knights" will actually attempt it. (The "knights," I'm pretty sure, a reference to the knights who killed Thomas Becket, after the king made the plausible-deniability command to kill him, "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?")

He even specifies that the internet is an outstanding vehicle for stirring stochastic terrorism.

Comey describes "stochastic terrorism" in ch. 9 of his book FDR Drive.

The comment about the Comey persecution suggests he's figured out that won't work either. Nobody likes a traitor, and he's now a multiple traitor.

116 I've seen several posts by Jonah on different outlets. They all seemed to be more conservative than he's been for a long time. I assumed he was trying to walk back his stupid move into the left's swamp, since they will never accept him as one of their own, and he has a "newsletter" to sell.

I'll have you know I was working on an article on why Trump is an evil fake savior like Father Enrico Pucci and I persuaded Chad McThundercock to read it after he and the fair lady Jessica were done and he told me it was, and I quote, "nerd shit".

So I asked him what I should write about and he suggested something about how feminists are stupid and should learn to make sammitches. So there. That's why I'm trying to write different things now!

By the way is it just me or do the male characters in Jojo have some special appeal that makes you just want to look at them all day long?

191 When Jimmy "Drama" Comey needed to make his bones as a Political Prosecutor ...

The CEO of a public biotech learned of an adverse ruling from the FDA about its key drug in development. Stupidly, he dumped all his shares. That's insider trading.

The CEO's broker had Martha Stewart as a client and had put her in the stock. He called Martha who was on the tarmac going on vacation and advised her to sell because the CEO was. She said yes. As to Martha, that wasn't insider trading, but the laws around this have always been muddy.

Then the FBI came knocking on her door unnanounced. Their story is that Martha misled them, as duly noted in the paper 302s they filed. The FBI also seized her laptop and went forensic. Martha had deleted an e-mail you see, but then undeleted it.

This is what got Martha in jail. Not insider trading.

194 The cubit is from your elbow to the tip of outstretched hand, which is about 18 in = 1.5 feet. Then there’s the royal cubit which like the Guinea to the Pound is a little bit more. Royal cubit adds one palm = four fingers to the measure. Some passages in the Bible describe distances in cubits but others use royal cubits. Check carefully.

215 this is what actual political retribution looks like. the post was tongue in cheek, meaning to get rid of Trump, as in remove him from office because he is so goddam incompetent. There was never a suggestion of violence

the outrage was ginned up because Trump is a thin skinned baby who always needs to feel like a victim.

Start disbarring DOJ lawyers until some with integrity step up. Because this is fraud upon the court levels of insanity.

The entire world is going to celebrate when Trump dies and I will be tuning into Fox News with a huge grin on my face to watch Jesse Watters cry and get pissed off live on TV about it when it happens.
I'll probably have to record it though, I'll be out celebrating too, in Canada.

It's because Trump asked him for "Loyalty" at a private dinner, and he said no way. So he got fired and attacked.

It’s vindictive prosecution. And the GOP is totally ok with it. The only way to make these people change their minds is to do it to them.

220 In the Tech Thread, FenelonSpoke was asking about tips for her son, having to work standing up much of the day. When I did entrance screening for county courthouses -- nothing to do with 9/11, it started long before because of serious murder risk to literally everyone from judges to clerks -- lots of Mexicans in particular wore 'romeos', which are a slip-on style of boot or 'boot' (shoes with work boot-level durability). They look nice and are practical; you have to take them off for screening because the metal shank stiffening the back half will set off the metal detector, so they have to x-ray it to make sure there's not also something prohibited in there, but also that's easy.

Caveats: looks and durability do not come cheap. Also, proper fitting is especially critical with slip-ons, so the first pair (at least) should be had a real shoe store, where they do that.

TBH I find it very hard to find well fitting pants since I've lost weight. Its not that they don't make smaller clothes...they do...but everything fits like crap and is made out of cheap materials.

276 While she was AG, Loretta Lynch ran Comey when he was head of the FBI. Their fix for Hillary's server exposure was to focus on narrow charges that purposefully ignored what really happened. The charges never got into how all that confidential information got on the server in the first place. e.g., Huma going into the SCIF to take screen captures with her phone. Instead the charges assumed Hillary had a right to have the information in her personal possession but "mishandled" it.

Hillary used all this information to run her own shadow international operation while Secretary of State, including to solicit hundreds of millions in bribes that were run through the Clinton Foundation.

The deal was that Hillary would make Loretta the first black woman SCOTUS and Comey would step up as Hillary's AG. But the deal fell apart when Loretta was caught on the tarmac with Bill Clinton. To limit her exposure over the Clintons, Loretta then made Comey the public face of the investigation. But Comey refused to be the fall guy for a total whitewash. Hence, his claim that no reasonable prosecutor would charge Hillary while he laid out evidence that she was guilty.

Learned this living in TX for the last 30-40 years. When I moved here, Dems prosecuted Senator Hutchison; jury acquitted. Then they prosecuted Delay; court of appeals threw out his conviction. Then they prosecuted Rick Perry; court of criminal appeals granted habeas early on to end prosecution. Not long afterward, the legislature wised up and stripped Travis County of its authority to bring these statewide prosecutions.

His first mistake in 2016 was his hatred of Trump. Who was not good enough or Republican enough for him and at least two other purists I once knew.

He begged me to not like Trump and I told him too bad (well, not in those exact words).

His anger was for one ego bending thing at the time: Trump said his pants were not creased and needed some new ones in 2015. This totally torched Goldturd and he went loco in anger. It is as simple as that.

Posted by: Neo

------------
Here is my theory on Goldberg. (You guys like my insomniac thoughts, right? Right?)

I knew a kid in college who was a pure contrarian -- he would enter every discussion with an opposing view no matter what the current view was. By end of semester I would have fun by changing position halfway in and getting him to swap as well, just to show that he was not arguing on principle, but to prove he was more informed and better than everyone else.

Of course, he was a kid, and his technique was very crude.

Goldberg is very much like that kid. He was a conservative because most people around him were on the Left. Then he got to NRO and found pleasure in contradicting the conservative mainstream. Now he has his niche -- the perfect contrarian. The guy who known more than everyone no matter what anyone else knows. He doesn't have any principles, he only has ego and the need to show that he knows more than those idiots on the Right who made his career.

Has anyone else noticed that the feminists have stopped keening about abortion? They keen about men. They keen about living, laughing, and loving. Then they keen loudest about their vapid lives.

But, these dogs aren't barking about their right to kill anymore. Why?

My theory is as follows: these dogs have run out of puppies to kill, but they still love to whine, and so they whine about the dogs who do have some puppies.
