James Comey’s beach find, a message to “86” president No. “47,” Donald Trump A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama, whose administration worked hard on the “Russiagate” conspiracy theory in its unsuccessful attempt to destroy candidate and then President Donald Trump, claims that the “8647” threat isn’t really a threat at all, just free speech. “86” is slang for getting rid of or destroying someone, and Trump is the 47th president.
