Former Trump advisor Alina Habba schooled the clucking hens of The View over disgraced FBI Director James Comey.
Comey has been indicted for a second time following an Instagram post the ex-FBI chief posted that showed seashells arranged as “86 47.” The first indictment against Comey for perjury and obstruction was dismissed by a federal judge, and he’s currently claiming his seashell stunt was “just a cool shell formation” and not intended as a call to kill President Donald Trump.
“View” host Sunny Hostin grilled Habba over the “vindictive prosecution” against Comey.
“Do you think Comey’s post rises to the level of a criminal threat against the life of the president and supports an indictment?” Hostin asked.
“I do,” Habba responded. “I’ll explain why.”

“After Comey’s post,” she continued, and brought up the last attempted assassination attempt against Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “This is where I go back to Saturday’s events — the responsibility of certain individuals like us — we all have a very big voice. He is a former FBI director. He knows what 8647 meant. There’s no question about it.”
“Let me just tell you what happened after James Comey’s post,” Habba continued as Hostin and co-host Joy Behar tried to interrupt. “A gentleman posted that about me. He posted on Twitter, ’86 Habba,’ and he was also charged. He was charged in Florida, and he was held accountable because you cannot do it.”
“Now, this is an FBI director,” she continued. “We have responsibilities. You guys have responsibilities not to call the president certain things or say things that could incite violence. I most certainly think after Saturday, I have a completely new perspective on how important our voices are and how we use them.”
Hostin and Behar accused Trump of incendiary rhetoric against Democrats, but Habba wasn’t having it.
“Here’s directly how I feel about this: nobody should be inciting violence. Period. That’s my perspective,” Habba responded.
Perhaps the highlight of Habba’s appearance, however, was how she told the hosts to “sit tight” in anticipation of what would be revealed and looming consequences over the current investigations into Russiagate.
“Sit tight,” she said, “because things are coming.”
