The case centers on a deleted Instagram image interpreted as reading \u201c86 47,\u201d which prosecutors claim refers to removing Trump (86) and Trump\u2019s alleged number as the 47th president (47). Comey has also been charged in a separate case with allegedly lying to Congress about leaks to the press, and his strained relationship with Trump dates back to Trump firing him in 2017-an episode later central to the Mueller inquiry.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>Former <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fbi\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"516\">FBI<\/a> Director <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comey\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"169\">James Comey<\/a> said he would not be surprised if the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"438\">Department of Justice<\/a> brought a third indictment against him as he continues to face legal and political pressure from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"339\">Trump administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comey is currently awaiting a July trial over a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >social media post prosecutors allege<\/a> was intended to threaten the life of President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donal-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11621\">Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4563826\/gop-senators-release-hunter-biden-texts\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>\u2018I\u2019m not some hooker\u2019: GOP senators release Hunter Biden texts buried by DOJ<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4563916\/arcadia-california-mayor-chinese-agent\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>California mayor charged with acting as Chinese agent<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4563740\/doj-nationwide-crackdown-tren-de-aragua\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>DOJ charges over 25 people in nationwide crackdown on Tren de Aragua<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>In a Monday interview with MS NOW\u2019s Nicolle Wallace, Comey said he sees the possibility of additional charges as part of a broader pattern.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>\u201cThis is only going to go away when this administration leaves office, because Donald Trump is obsessed with me and with others,\u201d Comey said. \u201cHe is not going to let it go because he\u2019s an empty narcissist who has suffered some wounds he believes at my hand \u2026 no matter what it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the scrutiny, Comey said he remains confident ahead of the trial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the system.
