Trader consensus overwhelmingly favors no dismissal of James Comey's federal charges by May 31, driven by the April 28, 2026, grand jury indictment in the Eastern District of North Carolina on two counts of threatening President Trump via an Instagram photo of seashells arranged as "8647." Unlike his prior 2025 indictment dismissed on prosecutorial appointment flaws, this case advanced with Comey's arraignment and self-surrender on April 29; he recently hired defense counsel amid ongoing DOJ pursuit under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. No court rulings, plea deals, or prosecutorial withdrawals have emerged in the two weeks since, with procedural hurdles like motions to dismiss or hearings likely extending beyond the deadline. Realistic shifts could involve a First Amendment challenge succeeding or internal DOJ reversal amid backlash, though historical patterns favor continuance.
