A resolution to urge the Federal Bureau of Investigation to condemn the use of the expression “8647” due to its symbolism and implications, including the use of this code by James Comey, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a social media post on May 15, 2025.
HR 112 is a House Resolution that urges the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to officially condemn the use of the expression "8647." The resolution specifically cites a social media post by former FBI Director James Comey on May 15, 2025, which included this code. It asserts that "8647" is commonly used to imply malicious intent, specifically an invitation of violence towards the 47th President, Donald J. Trump. If passed, this resolution would formally convey the House's request to the Director of the FBI, the Governor of Michigan, and James Comey.
