Former FBI Director James Comey said he has “complete faith in our judicial system” as he faces a federal case over a 2025 Instagram post in which he shared a photo of seashells forming the numbers “86 47.”

“It’s the genius of our founders. It’s frankly the only leg of our three-legged stool that is still standing in the U.S. government, but it’s standing tall and straight,” Comey told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “It is the guardian of the rule of law, and I believe in it.”

The former FBI director was indicted last month after prosecutors alleged his photo was a threat against the president's life.
