A disturbing movement calling for Donald Trump's assassination appeared to get a high-profile nod from former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday.
Comey has faced calls for his arrest since he posted and swiftly deleted a cryptic Instagram post featuring shells on a beach arranged to spell out '86 47.'
Comey quickly apologized as he claimed he didn't arrange the shells himself but simply stumbled across them and 'assumed they were a political message.'
But many doubted this claim, and noted that calls to '86' Trump have appeared numerous times in recent years - alongside several legitimate attempts on the president's life.
The term '86-ing' something is most commonly used in hospitality to mean a menu item is out of stock, but has a broader translation that means 'getting rid' of a person or product.
