They also don't know much about the classified exit debriefing where they signed an NDA... To think Comey had just been through that debriefing prior to his leaking...Trying to explain this to you is as painful as teaching freshman composition to first year college students who only want to get drunk and fuck.Again, again, AGAIN: Comey crafted a memo to his law professor friend that DID NOT CONTAIN classified info.I think you are very confused; Comey wrote and shared the memos while still FBI Director, including with the professor friend.
And, by releasing the memos to his professor friend, was there "secret" information in the memo that should not have been released? Is that why Congress recommended a criminal investigation of Comey?
Even if you take excerpts from a classified document, those excerpts remain classified regardless of their content until they are declassified by a proper authority. Comey was a civilian, he didn't have the authority to declassify even one word from a classified document.

The memo that Comey wrote to his friend WAS NEVER CLASSIFIED. He wrote a different version for his friend than what he wrote to his FBI colleagues. Asking his friend to leak this UNCLASSIFIED memo was therefore NOT UNLAWFUL.
And he used his original memos as the base documents, documents that belonged to the federal government, not him. He not only violated the law but his NDA as well.
