三位消息人士首先向CNN透露，前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米于周二遭到起诉，罪名是一张贝壳照片威胁了总统唐纳德·特朗普，这是本届政府第二次试图起诉他的主要政治对手。
据多名知情人士透露，起诉是在北卡罗来纳州东区联邦地区法院提起的。
根据法庭文件，科米面临两项指控：威胁总统，以及在州际商业活动中传递威胁信息。
长期以来，特朗普一直要求其政治对手面临指控，其中包括他视为将司法系统“武器化”以对付他的核心人物的这位前联邦调查局局长。
去年5月，科米在社交媒体上发布了一张海滩上的贝壳照片，拼写出数字“86 47”，批评人士称这指的是罢免或杀害特朗普。
这张已被删除的詹姆斯·科米Instagram帖子显示，贝壳拼出了数字“86 47”。数字86通常指摆脱或丢弃某物，而47则对应特朗普作为第47任总统的现任任期。共和党人声称这是对唐纳德·特朗普总统的威胁，而科米表示他“没意识到有些人会将这些数字与暴力联系起来”。

作为俚语使用时，数字86可以指摆脱或丢弃某物。特朗普目前是第47任总统。科米在配文中写道“我在海滩散步时发现的有趣贝壳造型”，并发布了这张贝壳照片。
帖子发布后不久，共和党人和政府官员随即对科米展开猛烈批评，时任国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆宣布，特勤局将对科米展开调查，称其言论“呼吁暗杀”特朗普。
特勤局将科米带到华盛顿特区接受了长达数小时的特工询问，这对于非具体威胁而言是该机构罕见采取的举措。科米告诉调查人员，他是在北卡罗来纳州的一处海滩上发现这些贝壳的。

国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德在科米发帖后接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，这位前局长应该“为此锒铛入狱”，并表示她“非常担心”特朗普的人身安全。
科米当天就删除了该帖子，并在社交媒体上写道，他原本以为这些贝壳代表“一个政治信息”，但“没意识到有些人会将这些数字与暴力联系起来”。
“我从来没有想过这一点，但我反对任何形式的暴力，所以我把帖子删了，”他写道。
法律和安全专家告诉CNN，对科米的此类指控可能不会有结果，尤其是考虑到美国的言论自由保护。
科米的第二次起诉
针对科米的案件标志着特朗普政府的司法部重新加大力度，试图定罪这位前局长。科米在2017年因俄罗斯干预大选调查被特朗普解雇后，成为了总统的坚定批评者。
去年9月，司法部首次对科米提起诉讼，指控他在向媒体泄密一事上向国会撒谎。去年年底，一名联邦法官驳回了这起案件，理由是弗吉尼亚州东区临时美国检察官的任命程序不当，绕过了参议院的批准。
科米的律师拒绝为这篇报道置评。
早在特朗普首次当选总统之前，科米就已失宠，因为科米领导的联邦调查局正在调查特朗普竞选团队及其与俄罗斯的关联。特朗普就职数月后，科米被解雇。
被解雇后，科米成为了特朗普的狂热批评者，也是白宫和国会山共和党人的主要敌人。
莫琳·科米诉讼仍在继续
周二早些时候，一名法官允许科米的女儿莫琳·科米提起的诉讼继续在联邦法院推进。莫琳·科米曾是纽约知名联邦检察官，她起诉自己被司法部解雇。
莫琳·科米指控自己被解雇是报复行为，因为她是前联邦调查局局长的女儿。她正在寻求追讨欠薪，并要求对方支付其法律费用。
她曾参与纽约南区检察官办公室审理的多起知名案件，包括对音乐大亨肖恩·“吹牛老爹”·康姆斯、杰弗里·爱泼斯坦及其同伙吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦尔，以及新泽西州民主党参议员罗伯特·梅嫩德斯的起诉。
7月16日，就在陪审团裁定康姆斯犯有两项运输以从事卖淫活动的罪名两周后，莫琳·科米收到了来自华盛顿的电子邮件，通知她根据美国宪法第二条被解雇。
“武器化”相关行动
对科米的起诉出台之际，布兰奇加快了提起总统公开推动的案件的步伐。
就职首周，布兰奇发布了武器化问题工作组的第一份报告，该报告指控拜登政府司法部在打击堕胎抗议者时存在偏见。司法部解雇了四名参与相关案件的检察官。
他还对负责调查前中央情报局局长约翰·布伦南的检察官团队进行了调整，这是对总统而言最重要的案件之一。
而在周二，司法部采取的举措很可能会让特朗普满意。
据一位知情人士透露，司法部计划传唤富尔顿县地区检察官范妮·威利斯的保镖作证。威利斯曾就特朗普及其盟友试图改变2020年选举结果的行为起诉特朗普和其他多人。
司法部还指控美国国家过敏和传染病研究所前高级官员在新冠大流行期间隐瞒记录。长期以来，共和党人一直以真实或 perceived 的失败为由追究疫情应对负责人的责任，而在离任前，总统乔·拜登赦免了安东尼·福奇博士——他是所有目标中最主要的一个。

Exclusive: Justice Department indicts former FBI Director James Comey for a second time

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Tuesday over a photo of seashells officials said threatened President Donald Trump, marking the administration’s second attempt to prosecute one of his largest political opponents, three sources first told CNN.
The indictment was brought in the Eastern District of North Carolina, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Comey faces charges of making a threat against the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, according to court documents.
Trump has long pressed for his political adversaries to face charges, including the former FBI director he sees as a key leader in the perceived effort to “weaponize” justice system against him.
Last May, Comey posted a photo on social media of shells on a beach writing out the numbers “86 47,” which critics said referred to taking out or killing Trump.
This now-deleted Instagram post from James Comey shows seashells spelling out the numbers “86 47.” The number 86 can often refer to getting rid of or tossing something out, while 47 corresponds to Trump’s current term in office as the 47th president. Republicans claimed that it was a threat against President Donald Trump, while Comey said he “didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.”

When used as slang, the number 86 can refer to getting rid of or tossing something out. Trump is currently the 47th president. Comey posted the photo of the shells, writing in the caption “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
Almost immediately following his post, Republicans and administration officials went full bore in their criticism of Comey at the time, with then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announcing Comey would be investigated by the Secret Service over what she said was a call “for the assassination” of Trump.
The Secret Service brought Comey in for an hours-long interview with agents in Washington, DC, an uncommon step by the agency over a non-specific threat. Comey told investigators he saw the shells on a beach in North Carolina.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Fox News following Comey’s post that the former director should be “put behind bars for this” and that she was “very concerned” for Trump’s life.
Comey removed the post the same day, writing on social media that he assumed the shells represented “a political message” but “didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.”
“It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” he wrote.
Legal and security experts have told CNN such a case against Comey may be fruitless, especially given the country’s free speech protections.

A second indictment
The case against Comey marks a newly reinvigorated effort by Trump’s Justice Department to convict the former director, who became a staunch critic of the president following his firing by Trump in 2017 over the Russia-meddling investigation.
In September of last year, the Justice Department first brought charges against Comey, accusing him of lying to Congress over leaks to the press. The case was dismissed late last year by a federal judge who found that the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been improperly appointed, having skirted approval from the Senate.
Comey’s attorneys declined to comment for this story.
The former director fell out of favor with Trump before he was first elected president, as Comey’s agency investigated the Trump campaign and ties to Russia. Comey was fired in the months after the inauguration.
Since his firing, Comey has become an ardent critic of Trump and key enemy of Republicans in the White House and Capitol Hill.
Maurene Comey lawsuit continues
Earlier Tuesday, a judge allowed a lawsuit brought by Comey’s daughter Maurene, a former high-profile New York federal prosecutor challenging her firing from the Justice Department, to move forward in federal court.
Maurene Comey alleges she was fired as retribution because she is the daughter of the former FBI director. She is seeking back pay and to have her legal fees paid.
She worked on some of the most prominent prosecutions by the US attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, including the prosecution of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez.
On July 16, two weeks after a jury convicted Combs of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, Maurene Comey received an email from Washington informing her she was fired “pursuant to Article II” of the US Constitution.
‘Weaponization’ efforts
Comey’s indictment comes as Blanche has picked up the pace in bringing cases that the president has publicly jockeyed for.
In his first week in office, Blanche oversaw the release of the Weaponization Working Group’s first report — one that alleged the Biden Justice Department was biased in how it went after abortion protesters. The department fired four prosecutors who worked on the cases.

He has made changes to the prosecutors overseeing the investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan – one of the most important cases to the president.
And on Tuesday, the Justice Department has been taking steps that are likely to please Trump.
The DOJ is planning to subpoena Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ bodyguards, according to a person familiar with the investigation. Willis prosecuted Trump and many others over their efforts to change the results of the 2020 election.
The Justice Department also charged a former senior official at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with concealing records during the Covid-19 pandemic. Republicans have long gone after officials who led the pandemic response over failures, real and perceived, and before leaving office, President Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci – the biggest target of all.
