根据一份新的法庭文件，负责处理美国司法部针对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米的刑事案件的联邦检察官已辞职，此案源于科米在Instagram上发布的“86 47”贝壳照片。
周五在北卡罗来纳州东区提交的替换通知显示，美国助理检察官蒂莫西·塞韦罗将接替马修·彼得拉卡“担任政府方律师”。
北卡罗来纳州东区美国检察官埃利斯·博伊尔提交的文件要求将彼得拉卡从法院案卷中移除，但未解释此次人事变动。博伊尔数月前才聘请这位新晋检察官负责此案。
科米面临两项联邦指控，最高可判处10年监禁，罪名是他在Instagram上分享了排列成“86 47”字样的贝壳照片，这被认为是向潜在的政治刺客发出了信号。检察官声称，该帖子相当于对第47任总统唐纳德·特朗普“表达了严重的伤害意图”。

数字“86”是餐厅常用术语，意为移除或停止供应某菜品，但特朗普及其检察官认为，执法界也普遍将其用作黑帮暗杀的代号。
“威胁美国总统的生命是对我国法律的严重违反，”代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在4月28日宣布针对总统的威胁罪和跨州传播威胁罪的两项指控起诉书时发表声明称。
他补充道：“大陪审团返回的起诉书指控詹姆斯·科米实施了这一行为，而就在此时，我国目睹了暴力煽动以及随后针对特朗普总统和其他民选官员的致命行动。”“需要给局势降温，任何煽动局势并威胁总统生命的人都将被追究责任。”
法律专家警告科米“8647”起诉面临第一修正案障碍
科米否认存在任何威胁意图，称他认为该图片是一份政治声明，而非针对刺客的暗语。
“詹姆斯·科米可耻地煽动了针对特朗普总统的生命威胁，并将其发布在Instagram上供全世界观看，”联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔在一份声明中补充道。“作为前联邦调查局局长，他完全清楚发布此类帖子会带来的关注度和后果。联邦调查局及其司法部合作伙伴开展了严谨的调查，遵循了事实——现在科米先生将为自己的行为承担全部责任。”

此案正在北卡罗来纳州审理，这张臭名昭著的贝壳照片就是在该州拍摄的。
“在北卡罗来纳州东区，没有人能凌驾于法律之上，”博伊尔在一份声明中写道。“我们办公室经常处理威胁案件，包括针对公职人员的威胁案件。大陪审团审查了此案的证据，认定有合理依据起诉科米先生。”
在美国地区法官路易丝·伍德·弗拉纳根批准科米的延期请求后，此案即将于10月进入审判阶段，此次人事变动就在此时发生。
NBC新闻率先报道了彼得拉卡离开科米案的消息，并表示他最近也不再参与该地区的其他刑事案件。据消息人士透露，该网络报道称，彼得拉卡曾考虑完全离开司法部，但在休假一周后改变了主意。

“如果科米因这张贝壳照片被起诉，根据第一修正案，这将面临巨大挑战，”宪法法律专家乔纳森·特利在4月告诉福克斯新闻。“在我看来，这张图片本身显然受言论保护。如果没有其他未知的事实或要素，它不太可能通过初步的宪法审查。”
科米将此次起诉描述为政治动机，并表示他将继续就他所认为的对法治的威胁发声。

James Comey ’86 47′ seashell case prosecutor suddenly steps down, assistant US attorney steps in
June 1, 2026 8:36am EDT / Fox News

The federal prosecutor handling the Justice Department’s criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey over his “86 47” seashell Instagram post has stepped down, according to a new court filing.
A notice of substitution filed Friday in the Eastern District of North Carolina says Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Severo will replace Matthew Petracca “as counsel for the government.”
The filing from U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina Ellis Boyle requested that Petracca be removed from the court docket but did not explain the change. Boyle had hired the rookie prosecutor for the case months ago.
Comey is facing two federal charges and up to 10 years in prison for his sharing the Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read “86 47,” potentially signaling would-be political assassins. Prosecutors have alleged the post amounted to “a serious expression of an intent to do harm” to President Donald Trump, the 47th president.
JAMES COMEY TELLS COLBERT WHAT LED TO HIM POSTING CONTROVERSIAL ’86 47′ INSTAGRAM POST

The number “86” is a common restaurant term for getting rid of or stopping service of an item, but Trump and his prosecutors argue it is also well known to law enforcement as a mob term for assassination.
“Threatening the life of the President of the United States is a grave violation of our nation’s laws,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in an April 28 statement at the time the two-count indictment for threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce was announced.
“The grand jury returned an indictment alleging James Comey did just that, at a time when this country has witnessed violent incitement followed by deadly actions against President Trump and other elected officials,” he added. “The temperature needs to be turned down, and anyone who dials it up and threatens the life of the President will be held accountable.”
LEGAL EXPERTS WARN COMEY ‘8647’ INDICTMENT FACES FIRST AMENDMENT HURDLES
Comey has denied any threatening intent, saying he viewed the image as a political statement and not a dog whistle for assassins.
“James Comey disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see,” FBI Director Kash Patel added in a statement. “As the former Director of the FBI, he knew full well the attention and consequences of making such a post. This FBI and our DOJ partners pursued a rigorous investigation that followed the facts – and now Mr. Comey will be held fully accountable for his actions.”

The case is being prosecuted in North Carolina, the location where the infamous seashells were photographed.
“No one is above the law in the Eastern District of North Carolina,” Boyle wrote in a statement. “Our office regularly pursues threat cases including those against public officials. The Grand Jury examined the evidence in this case and found probable cause to indict Mr. Comey.”
The change comes as the case heads toward an October trial after U.S. District Judge Louise Wood Flanagan granted Comey’s request for a delay.
NBC News first reported Petracca’s departure from the Comey case and said he has also recently come off other criminal cases in the district. The network reported that Petracca had considered leaving the Justice Department altogether but decided against it after taking a week off, according to sources.

“If Comey is charged for the shell picture, it would face a monumental challenge under the First Amendment,” constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley told Fox News in April. “In my view, the image itself is clearly protected speech. Absent some other unknown facts or elements, it would be unlikely to survive a threshold constitutional challenge.”
Comey has portrayed the prosecution as politically motivated, and has said he will continue speaking out about what he views as threats to the rule of law.
