As Twitchy reported on Tuesday, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Department of Justice for a second time for his “8647” Instagram post. A former Justice Department official told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that it “might be the worst case DOJ has filed in my lifetime.” The thing is, if “8647” isn’t a threat against President Donald Trump, then why is every other grandmother at the No Kings protests wearing an 8647 T-shirt or button?
This editor admitted he thought the case was flimsy, but now that Trump has told Collins that to 86 means to kill in mob slang, liberals are coming out to argue that it means no such thing. We wonder why Comey thought that seashell formation was so cool, then.
COLLINS: Do you really think that Comey was threatening your life with that post?
TRUMP: Well if anybody knows anything about crime, they know ’86’ is a mob term for ‘kill ’em.’ You ever see the movies? pic.twitter.com/jeZixGF9Ks

Keith Olbermann pitched in and corrected the president, saying that the mob term is to “deep six” someone.
Btw it’s “deep six” is the mob term
“86” is Trump’s IQ https://t.co/9bYwv8Uapz

Hey MAGA is there a single instance of a mob movie with dialogue of ‘86’ that means ‘kill em’?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller? https://t.co/e2fJV1Zktk

I remember in The Godfather 2 when Michael tells his henchmen he doesn’t want to 86 Fredo while his mother is alive. And once his mother goes 86, then they can 86 his brother.

The term deep six came from mariners in the mid 20th century. It did not come from the mob

Yet, it remains true that “86” means eliminate.

Remember when Rep. Dan Goldman said he’d never heard the term “bloodbath” used in an economic context? Now, all of the TDS-addled liberals are claiming that to 86 something is kitchen talk to take the item off the menu. So is that what the cool seashell formation and all of those T-shirts mean? Take Item 47 off the menu?
Deep six is what your last four employers did to your dumb ass

I’ll give you a pass on this, Keith. You’ve never served in the military. Or the FBI. Or read a book about either.
So you apparently have no idea what ’86’ means.

What’s the term when you attempt to demonstrate someone else’s ignorance and end up showing your own? 🤣

Law enforcement definitely knows “86” snd what it implies. Shut up, man. Go lose your shit somewhere else. You’re pathetic.

You continually tells us the truth about yourself: Inept, factless, useless, ignorant, unprofessional, disgraceful, inadequate, etc. It’s a wonder you ever worked in the media but the hacks that killed journalism are a dime a dozen in the USA as we speak. That is quite telling.

So Keith is a mob expert…..
In the mafia, the term “86” refers to taking someone “eight miles out of town” and putting them “six feet under.”
86 is how many times a day you should be remitted to a mental wardhttps://t.co/dnGHEHf8eR— BourneReacher (@BourneReacher) April 30, 2026
What? Newsweek even did a story on it?
Let’s not hear any sob stories about any “8646” gear that might have been out there, then. It just meant that the restaurant was out of Joe Biden.
Eat a dried booger and seek help Keith.
