If Comey was indicted for threatening Trump and the act specified as the threat was posting 8647, is Blanche saying 8647 is normally NOT a threat but that other acts by Comey somehow transformed it into a threat? How can someone be indicted for performing a specific act and then be convicted by proving he committed another, totally different act?

Can someone be convicted of let's say a bank robbery by proving he cheated on his income taxes? Total bullshit.
