Snowflakes don't understand classified data or how to legally handle it. Comey's refusal to answer the question about his handing over official documents / notes to his buddy with the specific purpose of them getting leaked to the press in hopes of an investigation being opened up says it all."Former FBI Director James Comey refused to comment Monday when a reporter asked whether he leaked classified information to prompt the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"My understanding is that when you shared your memos with your legal team, that there was a follow-up for a classified containment operation by the bureau. Was there a spill of classified information when you shared those memos?" Fox News correspondent Catherine Herridge asked Comey.
"I'm not going to talk about something like that," Comey responded.
"Well that's important to talk about, whether classified information was mishandled," Herridge followed up.
"Whether you think it is or not, I'm not going to talk about it one way or another," Comey said, before taking a question from another reporter."
"Last summer, Comey admitted in open testimony that he gave memos detailing his conversations with President Donald Trump as FBI chief to a friend, who then gave them to the New York Times.
Comey said that he asked his friend, Columbia Law professor Daniel Richman, to share the memos "because [he] thought that it might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.""
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that "at least two of the memos that [Comey] gave to a friend outside of the government contained information that officials now consider classified."
And here's the part you intentionally left out......
Of those two memos, Mr. Comey himself redacted elements of one that he knew to be classified to protect secrets before he handed the documents over to his friend. He determined at the time that another memo contained no classified information, but after he left the Federal Bureau of Investigation, bureau officials upgraded it to “confidential,” the lowest level of classification.
Justice Department Watchdog Probes Comey Memos Over Classified Information
This is the very Wall Street Journal Article you cited. You knew that it stated that Comey redacted information that he knew to be classified. And intentionally withheld that information from us.
As always, Easy......your argument relies on the ignorance of your audience. And you will always try to mislead us by withholding vital information, collaborator.
It's all classified, moron. Comey isn't the final arbiter on what's classified, especially after he's been fired from the FBI. He had no authority to release those memos. He broke the law.
Says you, just making shit up again. And you're the same hapless soul that insisted that 'anything said between the the FBI director and president was classified'.
Backed by nothing but your talent of pseudo-legal gibberish of course.
Tell us...which law did Comey violate?
And as aside......is there really nothing more to you than making shit up on topics you know nothing about?
Or, what a Fox News reporter thinks is classified doesn't have much relevance to the issue. Exactly as Comey said.
Again, you know that Comey redacated anything that was classified from his memos. Yet you explicitly omitted that from your post.
As always, you consistently try to mislead, collaborator.
If Comey felt so strongly that there was a need to open an investigation why didn't he sack-/ man-up and make this known, push for one himself? Why go through a 3rd party and through 'Court of Public Opinion' rather than BE the Director of the FBI and use the proper channels?
Based on his last Q&A session under oath in front of Congress, based on his own testimony and claim to not know what the hell was going on in the FBI (Hillary's 'leadership' style in the State Department), Comey is either the most incompetent FBI Director in US history or lied his ass off before Congress ... again.
Or.....the Republicans questioning him failed spectacularly to show that Comey violated any law at all.
You can tell which is more likely by Comey walking a free man, laughing at silly Fox News reporters.
