Embattled former FBI Director James Comey sat down for an interview with MSNOW anchor Nicolle Wallace on Monday evening.
This is Comey’s first media appearance since a grand jury from the Eastern District of North Carolina indicted him on two felony counts:
COUNT ONE: Knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States;
COUNT TWO: knowingly and willfully did transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President, Donald J. Trump

James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post last May.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.
’86 47′ is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.
Comey told Nicolle Wallace in his first media appearance since his indictment that Trump is going to keep going after him.
“I’m gonna have to deal with this as long as Donald Trump in the White House thinking of me in the middle of the night,” Comey said.
“Trump wakes up at 3 am in the morning thinking about me. The reverse does not happen,” Comey insisted.
“If this case falls apart, they’ll do something else,” he said.
Comey clammed up when asked about the other evidence that Trump’s DOJ has against him.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this month said the indictment against Comey is based on a “body of evidence” beyond the Instagram post.
Comey told Nicolle Wallace that he can’t talk about the other evidence.
