Gabbard Says Comey Knew What He Was Doing—Vows He’ll Be Held Accountable for Threatening Trump

You can’t threaten Trump’s life anymore and expect the intelligence agencies to look the other way.

There’s a new sheriff in town—and the days of our intelligence agencies sitting on their hands are over.

Former FBI Director James Comey posted a not so cryptic image with the numbers “86 47.”

When pressed, he claimed he didn’t even know what it meant.

But Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard isn’t buying it.

He knew exactly what he has doing.

“Absolutely not, Jesse. That is a ridiculous and insane statement to make,” she said.

“Especially coming from a guy who’s the former Director of the FBI.”

She reminded viewers that Comey built his career prosecuting mobsters—criminals who commonly use “86” as a code word for murder.

“He spent most of his career prosecuting gangsters—who use this exact lingo of 86,” Gabbard said.

And then it got worse.

Comey eventually admitted the post was political.

Gabbard pointed out that the phrase “86 47” had already been circulating among anti-Trump, anti-Elon protesters—a not-so-subtle call to eliminate the 47th president.

She made it plain: this wasn’t ignorance. It was intention.

Now he expects people to believe he didn’t know what it meant?

With two recent attempts on Trump’s life, Gabbard said this kind of rhetoric isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous.

“This is the guy issuing a hit on President Trump,” she said.

And at the heart of it, Gabbard believes it all stems from a hatred of democracy itself.

“These are people who hate democracy and the American people because they cannot stand that the people overwhelmingly chose to elect Donald Trump and send him back to the White House,” she said.

“So they are seeking other means to get their way and to try to remove him from that position.”

Jesse Watters then asked the obvious: How seriously is the administration taking this?

Gabbard didn’t flinch.

“We are taking this VERY seriously,” she said.

She laid out who’s already involved.

“As you mentioned, the Department of Homeland Security and Sean Curran, the current Secret Service Director—a man who has been willing to lay down his life as the lead of President Trump's Secret Service detail for years now—he takes this seriously and is leading the investigation into this threat,”

“There HAS to be accountability for this.”

Then Gabbard revealed the most disturbing part—a new study shows over half of those surveyed believe Trump’s murder would be “somewhat justified.”

“Over 55% of respondents felt that murdering President Trump would be ‘somewhat justified.’ This is the effect of people like James Comey doing this kind of stuff,” she said.

She continued, pointing to a growing and dangerous mindset.

“This study also pointed out that there is an ‘assassination culture’ that is starting to take over the views of what they call the extreme left.”

That, she warned, is something no American can afford to ignore.

“Whatever your politics, we cannot allow people to get by without being held accountable for this kind of public call to assassinate the president of the United States.”

So was Comey just trying to provoke a reaction and turn himself into a political martyr?

Gabbard didn’t speculate—but made one thing clear. Intent doesn't excuse consequences.

She shared a personal story.

“There’s a guy in Georgia who was issuing threats on my life about a month ago—and he’s in jail today,” she said.

“He has been indicted with a crime, as he should have been, and he’s in jail as we speak.”

She said the same standard must apply to Comey and anyone else making threats—no matter how powerful.

“Whatever James Comey’s intent, he and people like him need to be held to account according to the law, which is something that he claims to have given his life to and stands by—the rule of law. Fantastic.”

You cannot have your cake and eat it too. The law works both ways.

“The rule of law says people like him who issue direct threats against the president of the United States—essentially issuing a call to assassinate him—must be held accountable under the law.”

Then came the most jaw-dropping moment of the interview—a signal that this isn’t business as usual anymore.

Jesse Watters asked Gabbard point blank:

“Do you believe Comey should be in jail?”

She didn’t hesitate.

“I do.”

Gabbard then called out the blatant double standard, for elites evading charges.

This was a threat—it should be treated as such— regardless of who issued it.

“Any other person with the position of influence that he has, people who take very seriously what a guy of his stature, his experience and what the propaganda media has built him up to be, I'm very concerned for the president's life.”

Then came her final vow—calm, direct, and crystal clear.

“We’ve already seen assassination attempts.”

“I’m very concerned for his life, and James Comey—in my view—should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.”
