HRES 433 United States House · 119th Congress

A resolution condemning former FBI Director James Comey's incitement of violence against President Donald J. Trump.

This resolution (HRES 433) is a symbolic congressional statement condemning former FBI Director James Comey for a social media post described in the bill as inciting violence against President Trump. It claims Comey's post - featuring the phrase "86-47" with "cool shell formation" - seemed to call for eliminating the president, jeopardizing his security during a foreign trip. The resolution formally condemns this as "indefensible," urges barring Comey from future federal employment, and requests a DOJ investigation into his post. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change laws but reflects the sponsors' position on the matter. The bill focuses on the stated claims within its text, not on verified facts about the post or Comey's intent.
