A federal grand jury's April 28 indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on charges of threatening President Trump and transmitting a threat via a 2025 Instagram post depicting seashells as "86 47" has solidified trader consensus at 85.5% against charges being dropped by May 31. This follows the November 2025 dismissal without prejudice of prior counts alleging false statements to Congress, due to an unlawfully appointed prosecutor, prompting a DOJ appeal and fresh prosecution in North Carolina's Eastern District. Comey's initial court appearance occurred April 29 amid First Amendment challenges from defenders calling the case frivolous, but no dismissal motions have succeeded, with DOJ seeking book profit forfeiture. Early procedural stages and aggressive pursuit suggest low near-term resolution odds.
