James Comey has reportedly been indicted for a second time. Last September, he was charged with lying to Congress over leaks to the press. The case was then dismissed by a federal judge who found that the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been improperly appointed.
...Late last year, the first indictment was dismissed over the challenged status of the acting United States Attorney. The Administration may now have cured that deficiency.

...There has been a suggestion in early reporting that Comey might be charged over his image of shells spelling 86 47. That would be a tough case given the likely First Amendment challenge that the statement (even if it had a lethal meaning) was still protected speech...
...According to Fox, this indictment appears to be coming from North Carolina -- the location of the beach where Comey took the picture of the shells.
