86 is a restaurant term, basically meaning that there is no more of a dish.

46 in this context is the 46th president of the united states.

And for a serious response on shell pattern, its referencing shotgun shells; if you are using birdshot, you get a very spread out pattern of impact points, with buckshot it would be a tight grouping of impact points (shotgun shells are packed with metal BB's instead of a single, larger chunk of metal).

The shell pattern is actually referencing a picture Comey tweeted of sea shells in a pattern on a beach that formed the numbers "86 47"
