FBI Director Kash Patel said his bureau has been overwhelmed by 'copycat' threats to Donald Trump's life after James Comey shared a controversial Instagram post calling to '86 47.'
Patel told Fox News' Bret Baier that the former FBI Director's post, which showed seashells on a beach arranged as the numbers, forced him to redirect resources as Trump critics followed suit.
The term '86' is often used in hospitality to mean 'get rid' of something, but it has also been used in the mafia to mean a grave eight feet long and six feet deep.
'Do you know how many copycats we’ve had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from the former director?' Patel said.
'Do you know how many agents I’ve had to take offline from chasing down child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists?'
