Discusses Comey surrendering and appearing in court for the first time in relation to counts accusing him of making threats.

Gen Zedged conspiracy rambles aside, this clip tracks a sensational take on James Comey’s arrest and the ensuing drama around the 8647 Instagram post.

Summary

Asmongold TV tackles the arrest of former FBI director James Comey in a highly charged, stream-of-consciousness style. The host repeatedly frames Comey’s appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia as a dramatic Pyrrhic win for accountability, even as he digresses into speculations about the Instagram post with “seashells in the sand” and the cryptic 8647 reference. Throughout the clip, the host identifies the case as tied to a North Carolina beach photo, discusses the grand jury indictment on two counts, and emphasizes the importance of a tough, no-holds-barred process for public figures who violate norms. The conversation bounces between legal implications, media narratives, and conspiracy-tinged questions about marketing stunts and personal culpability. The chatter is punctuated by a mix of shouted remarks, questions about how the bond works, and a relentless push to “lock these people up” to send a message. By the end, the tone shifts to a defense of the independent judiciary while still leaning into sensational commentary about high-profile figures. The video blends reaction with speculation, never straying far from the central premise of Comey’s arrest and the potential consequences. Creator Asmongold, as a moderator of the chat, keeps the pace brisk, cycling through commentary, questions, and rapid-fire observations. The piece closes with a flurry of opinions on whether Comey deserves harsh punishment, and where this case fits in the broader political landscape.

Full Transcript
Former FBI director James Comey has been arrested. He has surrendered at federal court. Well, Comey is in the courtroom and the hearing is starting now. the very first appearance of this former FBI director accused of threatening the president's life with that post on Instagram a year ago with seashells in the sand. This is the first hearing. See, this is this is the type we should be doing this every day. I love this. I've been waiting on this political prisoner. Yep. shouldn't have [ __ ] around. You You think that you're going to reframe something in a way that makes it optically sound bad? I don't give a [ __ ] There's no reason to engage in good faith. The person that says that, "Yep, that's right. You get to stay there. It's just like just like North Korea." That will happen in this courthouse, the Eastern District of Virginia. But this is a case that's charged in North Carolina because that's where that beach photo was taken. this first appearance. Comey now being under arrest in the courtroom. He's going to be before a m Well, Comey is This is amazing. I I love seeing this. Let me see if I can pull up any more information about him getting arrested and uh is piece of [ __ ] So, he put on here uh this is what happened last year is he put out a thing, an Instagram photo. It said 8647. 86 can be used in a lot of ways, but like in one of the ways that it can be used, it can be used to like it says kill, right? And um you know, you can ask people in law enforcement, they'll probably tell you this. It's it's just another euphemism, right? It's a hit. And so whenever the former FBI director uh does this uh well, this looks pretty bad, right? And uh it it see means get rid of. Yeah, but like what do you think that means? And so the the reason why it's important to do this is that like you have to take this guy all the way through the ringer. You have to make the process like you have to make this as painful as possible for him. Even if you don't get him convicted, you have to make it as unpleasant as possible. That way, everybody else that likes talking about this stuff sees this and they think to themselves, "Well, I don't want to be the next person that gets dragged through this for like 2 and 1/2 years." So, that's what I think. His explanation uh on the talk show was so funny though. I know. Wrong. That's what he wants you to think. Well, I don't know what you mean by that. Good luck with that [ __ ] [ __ ] Exactly. And 8647. So, what do you what is this here? You think it doesn't mean that way? And uh I love that. What does that does not mean what people think it is? says it was a marketing stunt. Why do you think it's a marketing stunt? Why do you think that? That's what he wants you to think. Yeah. Let me let me let me let's work through this. What's the market? Yeah. What's what's the market? What is this? He's trying to market an assassination. Yeah, that's the problem. How's this work? I just want to I I just want to get to the bottom of this and understand it because I just don't really uh I I don't really understand this at all. It's a number of days since uh 9/11 since his book released. Then why did he explain it? Why didn't he explain it that way? Why did he explain it that his wife did it? Why didn't he just say that? So, I mean like I mean because I I don't even know if that's true or not, but like I mean he said it wasn't true. It's part of the stunt. So, let me get this straight. You think that So, who do you think made it then? Who do you think made the uh Who do you think made the the the lettering there, the numbering? Do you think he did it or his wife did it or do you think a third party did it? Like what do you really think happened? Does Chad's insulting our intelligence? Yeah. Step one, go to jail. I know that. Uh 8,000 uh 8,647 days would be August 22nd. Yeah. and uh partisan. Yeah. Can can cuz I just I want to understand and and get to the bottom of this and understand he did it or he 100% knew. Okay. So, he knew what happened. So, why didn't he explain it that it was part of his book? Why did he say that he didn't know what it meant? Why didn't he just come out and immediately say that? And also like if it was advertising, why didn't he leave a link to the book or anything like that? Cuz like if you do an advertisement, you'd have a link like a like an Amazon link or something like that. Like that's what I'd assume. The gas lightning is real. Well, I just like the the reason why I pulled this up is that I just want people to see the level of like crazy crazy crazy dishonesty here. Like, I mean, you don't really believe this, do you? Like, you don't you don't really believe this is what happened. Like, there's no way you actually believe this. And so the reason why I pull this up and I I engage it in like a relative amount of good faith is just so people can see how brain dead [ __ ] it is. That's the reason why. And uh it it's crazy. We're not going to we're not going to let people get gaslighted in here, bro. Like we're not going to let this is crazy. I don't even want to see it. And yeah, I think his wife did and he took the picture, right? and his wife just happened to take the picture that he automatically knew the exact amount of days since 9/11 that his book like really I mean like what are we doing here? I mean this is these are the same people that were saying that the quality learning center the reason why there were no kids there is because it was closed. It was like a Sunday or something like that. The like what are we doing here? What are we doing? It's so obvious what you're what you're left with political violence. Yeah. No, I don't think so. I I I think that we need to lock these people up. That's what I think. And let me see if I can find any more of this. Oh. Oh. Is this the response? Well, they're back this time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year. You see, he's saying it this way in order to downplay it, right? He he wants to frame it in a way that it sounds innocuous and ridiculous. So people like it has nothing to do with the seashells. It has nothing to do with that. That's like saying like, "Well, I'm getting arrested for driving my car." Well, yeah, because you ran three people over in it. Well, I was just driving down the road. I I mean, I have a driver's license. I'm driving my car. Like, oh, now they're just arresting they're arresting anybody for driving around now. And this won't be the end of it. Mhm. It won't be. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So, let's go. Great. But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Really, I know that's the problem. We're getting back to that. Justice is supposed to be. Yes. And the good news is we get closer every day to restore. Does he get an employee discount for his bond because he was in the FBI whenever uh whenever they put him in jail? Do you know if he gets an employee discount? Not sure. No. Oh, okay. Bring those values. Mhm. Keep the faith. That's right. Let le Let's Let's bring up American values when you're talking about trying to crypto message about killing the president. Oh ho, that's definitely what they'd want. Absolutely. And uh so yeah, no charge him double. I like that. And uh yeah, he's bullshitting. I know he's bullshitting. Here's another one. Good afternoon. Is this guy a real one? Today a grand jury, bro. What is he doing? Look at Cash. Today a grand Jesus, bro. Like he's locked in. grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of North Carolina returned an indictment against uh James Comey on two counts. The first count is that on or about May 15th of last year. He knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of How long has this guy even been involved? Like how did all this happen? Like literally this guy takes over and like everything just starts happening. It really makes you wonder what the [ __ ] was going on before this. Ed also made a tweet at the time. Inflict bodily harm upon the president of the United States. Count two, same day, May 15th, 2025, that the defendant, James Comey, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the president of the United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment of of 10 years. That's right. That's right. See, this is you need to do this. You need to do this to like a thousand people minimum. So, Ed Ed of course made a post about this and uh it's time 8647. Bro, Ed, see oh man. Oh, man. You really uh yeah Pam Bondi was hot. She was she was hot but that's not enough. That's not and report him should be 15 years. I know. And again I think they should go after I think that they need to make examples out of these like high-profile people. I think it's like that that's it. It it sends it sends a message, right? It sends a message like nobody's above the law number one. And also, if you go after them, a lot of their followers will be like, "Oh my god, I don't want to have that happen." So that's it. And uh yeah, really thinks nothing will happen to them now, even after this. Well, I mean, the odds are they're probably not. I mean, nothing's probably going to happen to them. Nobody gives a [ __ ] about that, but uh we'll see what's going to happen. And uh hot enough to get the position, not smart enough to keep it. Many such cases, aren't they? And what's your stance on Space Force keeping the moon safe from other countries? I think that we have an international uh agreement with uh interplanetary bodies. I don't think that's something that we need to worry about because it's already been worked out like they I think they worked that out in like the 70s '8s or '90s or something. So like that's already we don't need to think about that, right? And also like and and if it does come down to it, whose flag's there? I mean, come on. It's the French flag. It's fully white now. Apparently the uh you know like obviously you know the sun is going to melt all the all all the the print off. So really it the French own the moon then. So yeah. Oh you guys thought America. No no no no. That maybe maybe back in the 60s or so. But no things have changed. And uh anyway let's go back. I'll look at these vote numbers. Exactly. And uh brilliant response. Let's go. Oh god. And so uh anyway 5 minutes. This is what happened. He should be in prison. Yep. And now he's going to get arrested. I love to see this. Uh they're charging James Con for posting 8647 on Instagram saying it's a threat. Do you know how stupid this is? You know what? Let's assume it is. Let's assume it is stupid. We're going to do it again. We do it again. Oh wow. It's so stupid. Damn. That's too bad. Shouldn't have [ __ ] around. Shouldn't have done it. Yeah. What? Oh, I'm going to get out. Yeah. after a year then maybe I I've been in lawsuits before. I'm in one now. Oh my god. It's a waste of [ __ ] time. Yeah, that's the way it is. You see, Obama made a post. Uh let me see. What did he say? What he Obama doesn't follow me, bro. That's [ __ ] up. And uh Oh, yeah. This is the uh this is the post right here about uh the voting uh the Voting Rights Act. So, uh yeah. Anyway, just to wrap this up, uh this this idiot got arrested and uh I hope that they can make his life a living hell for at least the year that he's there. Is it stupid when you consider that he was twice targeted? There's three times that we know about and there's probably hundreds of times that we don't. So, uh that's really it. I mean, I think that's really where we're
