Comey tells CNN he doesn't really know what's in his own Memos !!!!
Getting better by the minute 😃
Read Qs last post. These being leaked are fake. Comey wont divulge the real content.

Well, I don't know the full story of these memo's. I don't know the beginning, the middle, and the end is still to come, so tell me were they classified at the time of Comey releasing them to whomever? If not, they weren't classified. As you know, anything can be classified or declassified at any point in time.
So you have a TS/SCI in the military, gov't, or private sector?

they appear very.... boring.
nothing outrageous or damaging in anything...
I know Q is suggesting they are fake but... for all we know, Q is the one lying.
nothing burger here
I have yet to see anything earth-shattering in this.
Except as the first paragraph shows, comey knew this was classified material, and still leaked it.
So yeah, the head of the fbi broke the law out of personal animosity to the president, and this lead to his buddy mueller being appointed as a special counsel.
Thats pretty bad.
Comey released the 2/14/2017 memo Page 10 and Page 11 Unclassified
So much for that talking point.
But did he "Intend" to ?
😀😁

Right out of the gate on page one, Comey admits the classification of these memos in his mind is "secret"
This would make it illegal to leak.
This alone, along with the redactions, seems to make this a pretty cut and dry case if this is indeed the memos he leaked to his freind to be leaked to the press.
He proactively classified that memo as secret at the time. If you notice not all the memos are classified to the same level. Some are Confidential and Unclassified. Also which memo was leaked?
The 2/14/2017 memo is the one that comey leaked and it is Unclassified.

Crypto person here, so military.
It has always been common knowledge that private conversations between the President and the FBI are classified from the get go.
He could, I guess, declassify them if he so felt he needed to, but he would have needed clearance from the White House to do so.
I think he probably didn't get that clearance.
Otherwise, he would have not had to leak them. He could have just sent them to WaPo as an op ed.
And then there are the redactions....

The 2/14/2017 memo is the one that comey leaked and it is Unclassified.
If that was the only memo leaked, you are right that comey mentions in gthat memo that it is unclassified.
So I was wrong.
However, that doesnt mean that this info was in fact unclassified, only that comey felt it was.

So the memos are now leaked or is that a euphemism?
It's hard keeping up with when it's OK to leak or not...
If this was an illegal leak than I have trouble seeing how this is now OK and it would prove why the doj wouldn't want to give them up if they are part of an investigation.
If it's just a play on words ignore above .
If it was an illegal leak it should be investigated and the leaker charged.
I feel the same for leaks on aall sides.
However, I will still read the info from all sides even if it was illegally leaked.
Well it proves exactly why the fbi and doj don't want "oversight" to have them
Why, because they want the monopoly on leaking things?
Keep in mind, this is only relevant because the former head of the FBI leaked the info to ghis friend and the press with the purpose of having a special counselor appointed; which worked.
A special council was appointed because Jeff Sessions was made the AG. He worked for the campaign and had to recuse himself because he is a dolt. Literally.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt but it sure looks like you are more concerned with winning than justice.
Ethics don't change when they become advantageous to partisan rhetoric.
Either Comey was wrong or not.
If he wasn't and you can simply break the law any time some else does and use the argument well he did it in court we may as well declare a banana republic.
The same thing we would have under Clinton.
You all dissapoint me
