EXCERPT:
COMEY: “We were walking on the beach. We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book. And to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, ‘why would someone put an address in the sand?’ And I said, I don’t know. And we stood over it and I said, you know, I think it’s some kind of, like, political message. And she said, you know, ‘86’ when I was a server, she did a lot of working in restaurants, meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place. I said, that’s really clever. So then she said, you should take a picture of that. And I did, and I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing more of it until I heard through her that people were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination, which is crazy, but I took it down. I don’t — even if I think it’s crazy, I don’t want to be associated with violence of any kind.”
