This incident is compared to the plot of the famous 90s movie &#8220;Basic Instinct,&#8221; where Sharon Stone&#8217;s character, a crime novelist, becomes the prime suspect in a murder similar to one in her book. The author speculates whether Comey has watched the film and draws parallels between the characters and Comey&#8217;s current situation. <\/p>\n<p>The post in question included a reference to &#8220;86&#8221; and &#8220;47&#8221;,terms interpreted by some as a violent suggestion towards the current president. Following backlash, Comey removed the post, claiming he did not intend for it to convey any violent message. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the article touches on Comey&#8217;s new crime novel, depicting a storyline around a villain who incites violence against perceived enemies, creating an ironic contrast with Comey&#8217;s real-life controversy.The author critiques Comey&#8217;s motivations and the implications of his actions in light of the current political climate.it highlights issues of accountability and the intersections between fiction and real-life consequences in the realm of political discourse.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of the most infamous movies of the 1990s &mdash; directed by the ironic sleazebag Paul Verhoeven and written by the unironic sleazebag Joe Eszterhas &mdash; was &ldquo;Basic Instinct,&rdquo; which starred Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas and inexplicably grossed over $350 million at the box office.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve never seen it, although I&rsquo;m familiar with the salacious, very R-rated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fans-react-to-sharon-stone-posting-imperfect-topless-photo-on-instagram\/\" title=\"Fans React To Sharon Stone Posting \u2018Imperfect\u2019 Topless Photo On Instagram\">leg-crossing scene<\/a> involving Stone &mdash; which has become part of our d cinematic language, for worse or for even worse.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m also familiar with the plot, inasmuch as one exists: Stone&rsquo;s character is a trashy crime novelist whose lover mysteriously meets the same fate of the victim in her most recent bestseller.

Instead, he sounds an awful lot like the <em>villain,<\/em> given recent circumstances:<\/p>\n<p><em>Former FBI director Comey (Westport) reunites the protagonists of his first two legal thrillers for his strongest outing yet. U.S. attorney Carmen Garcia is trying to take down Samuel Buchanan, a far-right media personality with a popular podcast vilifying those he thinks are destroying America: intellectuals, immigrants, and people of color. <strong>Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the First Amendment when he singled out his enemies by name and suggested &ldquo;something should be done&rdquo; about them. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously injuring some of his foes.<\/strong> In a series of tense and exhilarating courtroom scenes, Garcia works with Deputy U.S. Attorney Nora Carleton to bring Buchanan down. Then, just as they&rsquo;ve convicted him, a new threat emerges: some of his followers have planned an act of terror at an upcoming UN convention. <strong>Comey&rsquo;s ripped-from-the-headlines plot &mdash; which, with its focus on Nora&rsquo;s hand-wringing about following legal and constitutional protocol, is easy to read as a bit of self-reflection &mdash; never loses steam. This proves that Comey the crime novelist is here to stay<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes &mdash; just as we remember Sharon Stone as a fictional crime novelist, we have an unfortunate opportunity to remember James Comey as a&nbsp;<em>real<\/em> one. The same way we remember him as a real FBI director, a real figure in the Russiagate hoax, and (still, somehow) a real figure in our national discussion. He&rsquo;s here to stay as a crime novelist, all right, and for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not just that there&rsquo;s no other way to interpret &ldquo;86 47&rdquo; except as a dog whistle that was really just a whistle. Comey is dense, but not stupid, and he was fully aware what he was doing, if not perhaps aware of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dni-gabbard-put-comey-behind-bars-public-call-assassinate-president-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backlash it would create<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond that, here&rsquo;s a man who has a crime novel coming out where his villain is testing the boundaries of the First Amendment by calling for the deaths of his enemies &hellip; and here&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-former-fbi-director-james-comey-calling-assassination-president-trump-dems-cheer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Comey<\/a> with that post, which does exactly that after one man is dead after shooting Trump and another is awaiting trial after <em>trying<\/em> to shoot him.<\/p>\n<p>Are we to pretend that the man who once occupied the same position as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bob-dylan-became-fbi-target-started-kennedy-assasination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J.

Although I haven&#8217;t watched it, I&#8217;m aware of the scandalous, R-rated leg-crossing scene with Stone that has become a part of cinematic culture-though not necessarily for good reasons. I&#8217;m also somewhat familiar with its plot: Stone plays a provocative crime novelist whose lover meets a mysterious end similar to that of a character in her latest book. This raises the question: does this make her the main suspect in his murder? <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t speak to James Comey&#8217;s viewing habits, so I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s seen more than just that infamous scene from &#8220;Basic Instinct.&#8221; Given his questionable character, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if he had. However, if he has watched the entire film-and let&#8217;s be honest, it&#8217;s likely that data is accessible somewhere-then I&#8217;d suggest that both the FBI and Department of Justice ramp up their investigation into him. Spoiler alert for those who haven&#8217;t seen it in over three decades: Sharon Stone turns out to be the murderer, which seems fitting given Comey&#8217;s current trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>Recently back in headlines for all the wrong reasons due to an Instagram post implying violence against President Trump-who has faced multiple credible assassination threats during his 2024 campaign-Comey found himself under scrutiny again after posting about &#8220;cool shell formation&#8221; on a beach walk. He later deleted this post after realizing some interpreted it as inciting violence.<\/p>\n<p>Now shifting focus from former FBI director James Comey to current crime novelist James Comey (with a new book releasing soon), we see him introducing characters like Nora Carleton-a federal prosecutor who confronts far-right media figures inciting violence against marginalized groups. The plot echoes real-life tensions surrounding free speech and violent rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these developments and parallels between his fictional villain&#8217;s actions and his own social media missteps-which seem almost embarrassingly coincidental-it&#8217;s hard not to view Comey&#8217;s situation as an example of projection at its most absurdly ironic level<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2435507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/James-Comey.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[23264,6636,13028,32171,11857],"class_list":["post-2435506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-comey","tag-hypocrisy","tag-memoir","tag-political-commentary","tag-villain"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/James-Comey.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2435506"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2435510,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435506\/revisions\/2435510"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2435507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2435506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2435506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2435506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
