科米的律师指控，联邦官员在未获得搜查令的情况下，于去年詹姆斯·科米发布了拼出“86 47”字样的贝壳照片后，对其从北卡罗来纳州追踪至弗吉尼亚州。
新公开的联邦法院文件还披露了总统唐纳德·特朗普如何在空军一号上关注针对这位长期批评者的调查，调查人员如何约谈甘比诺犯罪家族成员“公牛萨米”，以及联邦调查局数据库、ChatGPT和在线韦氏词典中对“86”的搜索记录，以此作为对科米提起诉讼的依据。
辩方提交的这份文件是科米以多项理由要求驳回此案的一部分，其中包括选择性起诉和报复性起诉，以及贝壳照片并不构成真正的威胁，完全受美国第一修正案保护。
根据当时特勤局的一封邮件，科米在2025年5月发布照片当天就接受了电话约谈。通话期间，科米同意从北卡罗来纳州返回华盛顿特区地区接受第二次约谈。
邮件显示，特勤局一名主管特工询问特工们是否有可能追踪科米的手机，但该特工称这是个“糟糕的主意”，因为他们需要“申报紧急情况豁免权”。
“我们需要认定存在迫在眉睫的生命或肢体危险，”该特工在科米发布贝壳照片次日发出的邮件中写道，“当时我们并不认为任何人的生命面临直接危险，从法律层面来说，追踪手机是个糟糕的主意。”
文件显示，这位主管特工表示，他清楚追踪手机“在法律上存在疑问”，但指出“我们或许还是会这么做”。
尽管存在上述顾虑，且在司法部的压力下，特勤局还是向威瑞森电信发出了紧急请求，要求追踪科米的手机，并注明此事与“涉及某人死亡或严重人身伤害的紧急情况有关，因此需要立即披露与该紧急情况相关的信息”。
根据法院文件，特勤局特工当时还开始对科米进行实体监视。

科米的律师称，当科米和妻子驾车沿95号州际公路向北行驶时，他们的手机遭到了追踪，但当科米夫妇停车前往埋葬他们儿子的墓园时，特工们失去了信号。
文件显示，特朗普想要科米第一次约谈的特工笔记副本， Specifically so he had them for a press conference later that day. 一名特工发消息称，科米的帖子和调查在空军一号上是“热门话题”，并指出特朗普“非常感兴趣”。
老牌黑帮成员与数据库搜索
文件还首次披露了司法部用于构建案件、说服法官允许搜查科米及其妻子数字足迹的证人。这些证人包括一名认识科米妻子的人士和一名前黑帮成员。
案发近一周后，联邦调查局特工约谈了一名在照片发布时联系过科米妻子的匿名人士，该人士告诉她，一些人认为这张照片是呼吁对特朗普实施暴力。
这名匿名人士在去年照片发布前后接受了特勤局特工的约谈。该人士表示，他们已有两三年没有和科米说过话，并表示希望自己能“提供更多线索”，让科米及其家人“为这一行为承担后果”。
这名匿名人士还称，科米很可能知道“86”这个词——通常指摆脱某物或丢弃某物——曾被科米之前起诉过的黑帮分子使用，这一理论是他们从鲁迪·朱利安尼及其播客中得知的。
在以涉嫌通过该帖子威胁总统起诉科米的几周前，联邦调查局特工再次约谈了这名匿名人士，并开始翻找科米年轻时作为检察官审理臭名昭著的黑帮分子约翰·甘比诺案件时的旧档案。

科米律师团队周二晚间提交的文件显示，调查中并未提及“86”一词。
联邦调查局特工还约谈了萨尔瓦多·“公牛萨米”·格拉瓦诺，他是这起陈年案件中曾合作的证人，也是甘比诺家族前二当家。格拉瓦诺称，科米肯定知道“86”与杀人有关。
文件显示，特工们还约谈了两名曾在纽约打击有组织犯罪的退休联邦调查局特工。两名前特工均表示，据他们回忆，该术语并未被用来指代杀人。

New Secret Service emails reveal how case was built against James Comey

Federal officials, apparently acting without a warrant, tracked former FBI Director James Comey from North Carolina to Virginia after he posted photos of seashells spelling out “86 47” last year, Comey’s attorneys allege.
Newly released federal court filings also outline how President Donald Trump was following the investigation into his longtime critic from Air Force One, how investigators interviewed Gambino crime family member “Sammy the Bull,” as well as searches of “86” in FBI databases, ChatGPT and Merriam Webster dictionary online in their effort to build a case against Comey.
The defense’s filing is part of Comey’s effort to have the case dismissed on several grounds, including selective and vindictive prosecution, and that the photo of shells does not represent a true threat, falling well within First Amendment protections.
According to a Secret Service email at the time, Comey was interviwed by phone the day he posted the photo in May 2025. During the call, Comey agreed to travel back from North Carolina to the DC area for a second interview.
A special agent in charge at the Secret Service had asked agents if it was possible to track Comey’s phone, according to the email, but the agent said it was a “bad idea” because they would need to “declare an exigency exemption.”
“We needed to believe that there is an imminent threat to life or limb,” the agent’s email from the day after Comey posted the seashell photos reads. “At that time we did not believe that anyone’s life was in immediate danger and legally it was a bad idea to ping the phone.”
The special agent said he understood tracking the phone was “legally questionable” but noted “we might anyway,” according to the filing.
Regardless of the concern, and following pressure from the Justice Department, the Secret Service issued an emergency request to Verizon to track Comey, noting it related to “an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, necessitating disclosure without delay of information relating to that emergency.”
According to the court filings, Secret Service agents had also begun physically surveilling Comey at the time.

Comey’s phone was tracked as he and his wife drove north in I-95, but agents lost contact when the Comeys stopped to visit the cemetery where their son is buried, his attorneys say.
According to the filings, Trump wanted a copy of the agent’s notes over the first interview with Comey, specifically so he had them for a press conference later that day. One agent messaged that Comey’s post and investigation “is a hot topic” on Air Force One and noted that Trump “is very interested.”
Old mobsters and database searches
The filings also reveal for the first time witnesses the Justice Department used to build their case and convince judges to allow searches of Comey and his wife’s digital footprint. Those witnesses included a person who knew Comey’s wife and an ex-mobster.
Nearly a week later, FBI agents interviewed an unnamed person who had contacted Comey’s wife at the time the photo was posted, telling her the photo was considered by some as a call to violence against Trump.
The unnamed individual was interviewed by Secret Service agents around the time the photo was posted last year. The person said they had not spoken to Comey in two or three years and said they wished they had “something more” to tell the agents so Comey and family members would “face consequences for this.”
The unnamed person also said that Comey likely knew the term 86 – which often refers to getting rid of something or tossing something out – was used by mobsters Comey has previously prosecuted, a theory they had picked up on from Rudy Guiliani and his podcast.
Weeks before they would indict Comey for allegedly threatening the president through the post, FBI agents again interviewed the unnamed person and started to comb through old files from Comey’s time as a young prosecutor working the case against infamous mobster John Gambino.

The Tuesday night filings from Comey’s attorneys say there are no references to the term “86.”
FBI agents also interviewed Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, a cooperating witness and former underboss for the Gambinos from the decades-old case, who said that Comey must know “86” related to killing someone.
Agents also interviewed two retired FBI agents who had worked against organized crime in New York. Both former agents said the term was not used, as far as they recalled, to refer to killing someone, the filings from Comey’s attorneys says.
