“86”

When my brother and I were little, our father took great delight in amusing us with lingo he learned in basic training, prior to his being commissioned into the Army Air Force as a bomber pilot in WW II.

One term I remember his making frequent use of was “86,” meaning to be out of something.  E.g., “Sorry boys, no pancakes this morning.  We’re 86 on flour.”

I bring this up to suggest that James Comey was probably simply urging his nation to get rid of Trump by some legal means.  That’s what I do virtually every day of the week.

Of course, thinking that the GOP might act fairly in a case like this is like expecting your dog to play the violin.
