James Comey’s Seashell Threat Trial Pushed to 2027

Original version ·

Just when you thought American politics couldn't get more absurd, a federal judge just hit the pause button on the most ridiculous trial in history.

So, the former head of the FBI, James Comey, is currently in legal hot water. The charge? Allegedly threatening Donald Trump. The evidence? A photo posted on Instagram of the numbers 8647 written in seashells on a beach.

Prosecutors are arguing that 86 is slang for "get rid of" and 47 represents the current president. Apparently, a pile of mollusk skeletons is now considered a federal threat. The court has decided that this high-stakes battle over beach art is too complex to handle quickly, so they’ve kicked the trial date all the way to 2027.

The legal system is officially treating seashell arrangements as state-level national security incidents while everyone else just tries to figure out how we got here.
