Ted Lieu posted \u201c86 47\u201d on X,portraying it as a reference to an alleged threat incident connected to former FBI Director James Comey. The text claims Comey was indicted by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-to-murder-2-us-congressmen\/\" title=\"Missouri Man Charged With Threatening to Murder 2 US Congressmen\">federal grand jury<\/a> for threatening to assassinate Trump, tied to an earlier Instagram post that depicted seashells forming \u201c8647,\u201d which supporters interpreted as a call for Trump\u2019s assassination. It explains the alleged meaning of \u201c86\u201d as shorthand for elimination and \u201c47\u201d as Trump\u2019s position as the 47th president.<\/p>\n<p>The article also describes Lieu\u2019s motivation as a response to a clip featuring acting attorney General Todd Blanche. It includes Lieu\u2019s prediction that the DOJ case against Comey will fail, that Comey may receive a monetary settlement in a future governance, and that Blanche would later face disbarment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the passage references efforts involving attorneys associated wiht Trump\u2019s 2020 election challenges and notes skepticism from some legal scholars about the Comey case, including claims it could fail under First Amendment grounds. It further discusses an alleged would-be Trump assassin from Torrance, mentions accusations of sexual misconduct attributed to Trump in a manifesto, and notes Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >survived multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/british-terrorism-officials-encourage-exiled-iranian-journalist-to-flee-her-home-after-colleague-attacked\/\" title=\"British counterterrorism authorities are urging an Iranian journalist in exile to leave her residence following an attack on her colleague\">previous assassination attempts<\/a><\/a>, along with other plots described in the text.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?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\" ?><html><body><\/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><\/p>\n<p>Democratic California Rep.
