Donald Trump's OG pick for Attorney General last year could torpedo the case against former FBI Director James Comey, all because Gaetz may have had Donald Trump's number.
As we reported, the Justice Department has charged Comey with threatening Trump by posting on his IG last May ... "86 47," captioned, "Cool shell formation on my beach walk." DOJ says 86 is a clear threat to kill the 47th President -- Donald Trump.
Webster's Dictionary defines 86 this way ... "Eighty-six is slang meaning 'to throw out,' 'to get rid of,' or 'to refuse service to.'" So there are multiple meanings of 86 ... even if you interpret "to get rid of" as to kill, there are other meanings.
Jimmy Kimmel is in the middle of another political dustup after a joke he made about President Trump ... but one person is in the talk show host's corner -- and it's somewhat surprising.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Adam Carolla defended Kimmel on a recent episode of his self-titled podcast ... saying Kimmel wasn't out of line with the joke he's being hammered for by the White House and MAGA after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Adam said of the now infamous first lady "widow" joke ... “That’s a pretty typical roast joke. It is also a trope: Any younger, beautiful woman who’s married to an older guy, especially if the guy’s rumored to be sort of a douchey, you would make that joke at any roast.”
New photos show the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner gunman snapping off a selfie minutes before the feds say he opened fire during the assassination attempt.
A memo submitted by the government Wednesday shows Cole Allen taking the snapshot in his Washington Hilton hotel room while armed to the teeth with weapons, including a knife, and several accessories ... and he took it less than 30 minutes ahead of allegedly charging into the lobby outside the WHCD.
The image shows Allen smirking while posing in the mirror, sporting a sheathed knife, a shoulder holster, pliers, wire cutters, and a small leather bag "consistent in appearance" with the ammo-filled bag he allegedly had on him when he was apprehended ... according to the doc.
Under the category of No Hard Feelings, George Washington himself was an invited guest to watch King Charles address Congress, and he was thoroughly impressed!
G.W. was the guest of Rep. Michael Cloud, and America's 1st Prez watched intently as the King spoke to members of Congress and other dignitaries Tuesday.
His review -- BRILLIANT!!!
The OG non-religious father is well aware his experiment -- which is now 250 years old -- is still a work in progress. George feels like the thing that brought us together as a nation is still an important aspirational goal: Unity.
Gotta say ... he looks good for being 300. Looks like Kris Jenner's plastic surgeon put in some hours!
Rep. Rashida Tlaib thinks Senator Lindsey Graham is living in Fantasy Land by asking taxpayers to foot the bill for the White House ballroom, because she says it's the LAST thing Americans want.
Charlie got the Congresswoman from Michigan Tuesday on Capitol Hill, and she gave him an earful over the proposal that your tax dollars could pay $400 million for the structure.
As for the argument it's a secure location, thus preventing another shooting at an outside venue ... Tlaib says this is the first time there's been such an incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and she blames it on lax security measures. She says there was no metal detector -- in fact, there was, but the shooter sprinted past it.
Don't you just hate when you show up to an event wearing the same outfit as someone else ... and that person turns out to be the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom? That's the exact situation First Lady Melania Trump found herself in with Queen Camilla and King Charles visited the White House Tuesday.
Check it out ... the two most powerful ladies in the house wore all-white outfits with huge hats to keep the sun out of their eyes -- and the ensembles are so similar ya gotta wonder how their respective teams didn't coordinate on this.
Of course, we've got a far more important question ... who'd you rather???
A Trump official decided the truce over nasty rhetoric is officially over, because he came out swinging Tuesday, calling Jimmy Kimmel a "s*** human being."

Kid Rock took a ride in a military helicopter Monday ... sitting in the gunner's seat as part of the celebration of America's 250th birthday.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries isn't ready to weigh in on a joke Jimmy Kimmel made that triggered an angry First Family demand ... but he has an opinion about toxic talk, and he's not sparing the left.
Jacob got the House Minority Leader Monday on Capitol Hill ... turns out Jeffries hadn't heard Kimmel's joke last Thursday, in which he called Melania Trump an "expectant widow."
It prompted the First Lady and the Prez to call on ABC to fire Kimmel's ass. The comment was made 2 days before the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The folks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner all left without injury, but thousands of lobsters weren't so lucky.
The shooting occurred while around 2,600 guests were enjoying their salads, but when the shooting erupted, everyone scattered for safety and the entrees were never served.
The menu included lobster and chateaubriand. Charlie was curious ... what happened to the delicious crustaceans?
Melania Trumpis demanding ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel... blasting the late-night host as a "coward" and accusing him of spreading "hateful and violent rhetoric" after his jokes about her family.
The First Lady unloaded in a fiery statement Monday ... saying Kimmel's monologue "isn't comedy" and claiming his comments are helping fuel division across the country. Kimmel's roast of the event aired Thursday night, days before the WHCD shooting in D.C. Saturday night.
"His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” she said ... adding that people like Kimmel “shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.”
Melania also accused the network of shielding Kimmel from consequences ... saying he “hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.”
Cole Allen, the California teacher and video game developer suspected of opening fire at the White House Correspondents Dinner, sounds like he was a model student ... at least according to one of his old college professors.
Allen took a couple of Dr. Bin Tang's computer science courses at California State University - Dominguez Hills when he was earning his master's degree in the field ... and Tang recalled how Allen was as a student in an email to the AP.
Tang said of Allen ... "He was a very good student indeed, always sitting in the first row of my class, paying attention, and frequently emailing me with coursework questions. Soft-spoken, very polite, a good fellow. I am very shocked to see the news."

A big-time agent at Creative Artists Agency, Michael says he felt very safe -- the place was crawling with law enforcement after the shooting -- and he wanted to watch everything unfolding in front of him, telling TMZ ... "Not every day you see something like that go down."
Michael reps CNN's Wolf Blitzer, and he tells us the only thing he was concerned about was Wolf, who got knocked over in the chaos. That and making sure his salad didn't go to waste.
