Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted over what authorities described as a threatening social media post directed at President Trump. The content in question? A photograph of seashells on a beach.
Comey responded defiantly. “Still innocent … still not afraid,” he declared, adding simply: “Let’s go.” The case has drawn widespread attention and criticism from civil liberties advocates who question whether the prosecution of a former law enforcement chief over an ambiguous Instagram post represents a troubling use of federal power. The story was widely reported across Australian media, including The Sydney Morning Herald.
