“It’s a Bit of a Distraction” – Jim Comey is Asked about the Plot in His New Book that Is Just like His Assassination Threat Against Trump (VIDEO) |

Former FBI Director Jim Comey made an appearance on CNN with John Berman on Wednesday to promote his latest book, a work that seems to intertwine the realms of fiction and political discourse.

In their conversation, Comey reiterated his claim of ignorance regarding the significance of the number 8647, a point that has raised eyebrows since he recently shared an image of seashells arranged in this very sequence.

During the interview, Comey dismissed the “seashell thing” as merely a distraction, illustrating his intent to steer the conversation back to the serious themes of his book, which discusses the dangers posed by a ‘right-wing extremist’ whose rhetoric may incite violence.

One can’t help but chuckle at the coincidence of Comey’s seashell arrangement being perceived as a threat, especially when considering the themes of his writing.

Jim Comey: “Actually, it still doesn’t hit me that it’s associated with violence.”

John Berman: “It still doesn’t, even though people have pointed it out that it has been used in that context?”

Jim Comey: “Yeah, I’ve never seen it used in that context or heard it used in that context. Still
”

John Berman: “How was your interview with the Secret Service about this?”

Jim Comey: “Oh, good. They’re total pros. I’ve worked with the Secret Service for many, many years, and they asked the right questions, trying to understand why I did it. We had a very similar conversation to the one you and I just had.”

John Berman: “Did you leave thinking that they believed you, or did you leave thinking they still had concerns?”

Jim Comey: “Well, I don’t have any reason to believe they don’t believe me. I feel like they asked the right questions, and I can’t imagine there’ll be any more on it.”

John Berman: “Your book is about protected speech when it becomes political violence. Is that a fair way to characterize it? It discusses an extreme podcaster whose rhetoric leads to actual violence.“

Jim Comey: “Right. It’s about a right-wing extremist trying to motivate followers to violence through his words in his broadcast.”

John Berman: “It’s interesting that your book tackles that subject, especially with the current discourse surrounding speech and its potential to incite violence. Yes?”

Jim Comey: “Yeah, not interesting to me. A bit of a distraction, actually. But the book addresses an important question. I don’t see the seashell thing as a significant issue, but I hope folks will read the book and see that it’s a great thriller with relevant themes.”

John Berman: “How challenging is it to write political fiction now that it feels like every sensational political event has already occurred?”

Jim Comey: “Exactly. Some of the events happening today are so bizarre that if you were to include them in a novel, your editor might say, ‘Come on, this is fiction.’ But truth continues to surprise and often proves stranger than fiction. I aim to write very real fiction to illustrate these realities.”
