The prospect of former FBI Director James Comey being prosecuted for a social media post that some have alleged was a threat against President Donald Trump is quite low, multiple legal experts tell Newsweek.

James Comey is “not afraid” of the Trump administration’s retribution following his highly controversial Instagram post last week, telling MSNBC Monday that the whole experience was not his “first rodeo.

Former FBI Director James Comey said he doesn't expect additional actions to be taken against him in relation to accusations that he threatened President Donald Trump. Comey delivered his first public remarks since sharing an image of seashells on a beach forming the numbers "86 47" during an appearance on MSNBC and said he found it "hard to have regret" over a post he claims was "totally innocent" and believes it's "crazy" that it was misconstrued by others.
