Part 7/9:
The term "86" has various interpretations within different social contexts, typically meaning to cancel or eliminate something. Within law enforcement and political discourse, its connotation can imply far graver meanings, related to threats or removal of adversaries. The speculation surrounding Comey’s 86 reference, whether it was a simple coincidence or articulately planned, brings attention to the manipulations of political language in modern discourse.
The public discourse after these events raises pertinent questions: Did Comey genuinely not know what 86 meant? Or was he knowingly provoking a reaction to shift media momentum towards his book launch? The answers are masked by political misdirection and differing narratives between rival political spheres.
