I'm not defending Comey for a second, but when I was in the military, 86 meant throw it away into the trash can; i.e., "86 it."
Back in the day in the restaurant biz, when we were out of something in the kitchen or bar, an appetizer, salad, entree, liquor, etc. we would say it was "86'd" so that if a customer wanted to order it the wait-staff and bartenders could tell them.
I remember the same term. It had a similar meaning in restaurant vernacular some generations ago. I hear the term in the occasional old movie.
