Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche dropped a bombshell on NBC's Meet the Press this Sunday, clarifying that the federal indictment against former FBI Director James Comey isn't just about that infamous Instagram photo of seashells arranged in the shape of 86 47—a cheeky nod to the left's fantasies of 86-ing Donald Trump (as in, assassinating the 47th president). Blanche emphasized the charges go far deeper, encompassing a pattern of alleged misconduct tied to Comey's tenure, including mishandling of classified information and abuses of power at the FBI. This isn't some petty social media slap; it's a reckoning for a man who weaponized the nation's premier law enforcement agency against political foes. For the 2A community, this development is a seismic shift with massive implications. Comey, you'll recall, presided over the FBI during the Obama-era Operation Fast and Furious scandal—a botched ATF sting that flooded Mexican cartels with thousands of U.S. firearms, resulting in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and untold bloodshed south of the border. That operation was a masterclass in federal overreach, used to justify gun control hysteria by inflating cartel arsenals with American weapons. Fast-forward to today: indicting Comey signals the DOJ under Trump 2.0 is finally clawing back accountability from deep-state operatives who undermined the Second Amendment. If Comey's post was the spark, the real fire is exposing how FBI brass like him prioritized anti-gun narratives over border security and constitutional rights, eroding trust in institutions that gun owners rely on for fair enforcement of laws like the National Firearms Act. The ripple effects could turbocharge 2A advocacy. With Comey in the crosshairs, expect renewed scrutiny of ATF-FBI collaborations that have long targeted law-abiding citizens while letting actual threats flourish. Pro-2A warriors should seize this moment to demand full Fast and Furious declassifications, reforms to prevent future gunwalking debacles, and prosecutions for those who lied to Congress about it. Blanche's words aren't just legal jargon—they're a green light for the Republic's defense against bureaucratic tyrants. Stay vigilant; this is the deep clean our Second Amendment freedoms desperately need.
