CNN Legal Analyst Thinks Trump Just Handed Comey An Acquittal [View all]

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig believes President Donald Trump might have just tanked his Department of Justice’s criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey after the president vacillated on Wednesday about whether Comey had really threatened his life in a seashell message.

Comey was indicted earlier this week after sharing a now-deleted image on social media of seashells arranged on a beach to read “86 47.” (Trump is the 47th U.S. president.)

Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the term “86,” commonly used in restaurants to signal to staff to discard a food item, was a “mob term for ‘kill him.’”

“The Source” host Kaitlan Collins followed up by asking the president if he really thought his life was in danger.
