Diamond Member
He used a secured FBI laptop, on FBI Company Time, to type memos about a private meeting regarding Goverrnment Business and an Investigation.IT WASN'T a document, it was Comey's own contemporaneous notes... recorded, it was not classified,
the president made public the meeting between him and Comey on twitter to the whole worldwide audience and then every news channel in the world who follows America repeated his tweets,
then after president Trump forfeited any executive privilege he may have presumed he had...by his tweeting,
Comey then released his version of this meeting with Trump, to counter or agree with what Trump described in his tweets, to the Times.
That is covered by Executive Privilege.
Not only that, Comey signed a NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT when he started at THE FBI so even if the information he leaked to the press for some miraculous reason wasn't covered by executive privilege and wasn't considered "privileged" he still violated both The Law and his Non Disclosure Agreement.
