Comey's arse is grass. Maybe he shouldn't have signed the linked form before leaking

2. All information acquired by me in connection with my official duties with the FBI and all official material to which I have access remain the property of the United States of America. I will surrender upon demand by the FBI, or upon my separation from the FBI, all materials containing FBI information in my possession.

It is VERY clear that ALL information (not just classified) is to be surrendered
quote:

3. I will not reveal, by any means, any information or material from or related to FBI files or any other information acquired by virtue of my official employment to any unauthorized recipient without prior official written authorization by the FBI.

Leaking through a 3rd party has clearly been violated by Comey. And it clearly delineates that the information he shared, WAS acquired as a result from his employment, and therefore not shareable
quote:

4. Prior to making any disclosure, I will seek a determination of whether the information may be disclosed. I agree to be bound by the guidelines governing prepublication review found in the FBI's Prepublication Review Policy Guide (0792PG) as those procedures may from time to time be amended. I understand that, in this context, “publication” includes disclosure of information to anyone by any means. I will submit for review the full text of any proposed disclosure addressed by the FBI's Prepublication Review Policy or this employment agreement as required by the policy at least thirty (30) working days prior to the proposed publication

And here is the kicker. Even if a case can be made that he released only his personal ramblings, he still agreed to submit that release for review, and provide a 30 day lead time. Since his firing was a surprise, no way in hell he met that window

He Gone

Did he not share the memo with other FBI leadership after the meeting?

We know they didn't sign off on it as releasable?

Legally he's not in good standing, that's for sure, but morally he's proven to be a douche...

If you believe Comey, he said he didn't think of the memo until the middle of the night before the day that he leaked. There was no way he got consent for releasing a document he had forgot about until he leaked it.

Just sayin...

I'm still kind of shocked he offered that info up TBH. Now he looks like a vindictive b*tch who uses other's to do his bidding.

He said he didn't think to release it.

That doesn't mean he didn't get the go ahead before that.

Just sayin...

Who is?

And you, for a fact, that Comey didn't do all of these checks?

How is that relevant? Comey said he gave the memo to a third party with the instructions for that person to give it to the press.

You need to go back and revisit his testimony if you think that is what he said.

Okay, I did. What is your point?

Sharing the memo with other FBI personnel does not release him from the requirements quoted in the OP for handling FBI documents.

sharing with other FBI personnel is pretty broad

How do we know it didn't encompass those requirements?

that was my point

Yeah I always forget the most import document tied to me being fired that I also had the forethought to get approved for release to the public. I mean just totally slipped his mind rignt.

That is comical.

His "intent" was to get a Special Prosecutor, and he plainly stated it. I mean, you are the head of the FBI and you are this impotent, sitting on info from a harmless "Hope" expressed by a President, and then leaking it through a third party...If this ain't a pussy move, someone explain it to me????

I see now you don't have a point. You're just rambling in desperation.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm sure a bunch of internet sleuths are going to nail a guy that likely did all his due diligence.
