no... they were BORN CLASSIFIED!!! and if he's too stooopid to know that, he should be jailed for stupidity.Don’t need to be labeled
He knows what he did was WRONG but he’s a vindictive SOB and a disgrace to the office
Very Clintonesque.
“He had no intent...”
He wrote his own script
Just follow the script.. OOOPs, It’s classified,, uhhhh.. just whistle or hummmm while we redact it a bit.
Geez, the contortions they go through to relieve themselves of any liability...
There is NO SUCH THING as “retro-active” classification. Once it is out in the public, there is no bringing it back.
You can not have a top secret document that has been made public, because you can no longer rely on it being secret.
And democraps are stoopid enough to fall for this...
The memos, whether marked classified or not, were government property, and not his to desemminate to his leaking friend, or the press.
When we see Comey in an orange jumpsuit and shackles we will know the Trump people have finally gotten serious.

No, the information was Classified before Comey wrote the memos and he included the already classified information in the memo.
When he included the CI, that is when the memo also became classified and when he, by his own testimony, intentionally leaked the memos is where he broke the law.

This is the “I’m too stupid to recognize what’s confidential.” defense. Hey, it worked for Hillary!
OCAs are required by law to RECOGNIZE, CLASSIFY, and MARK any material they originate or encounter that should be classified. Doing so is a fundamental requirement of their job!

HRC aas the State Department'x top OCA -- yet, she admitted that she never classified anything, and depended on others to do that job for her. BUT -- her private e-mail system totally bypassed those other OCAs -- meaning that anything she sent went out into the world -- unclassified and un-marked.
Comey has zero excuse for writing down classified information -- and NOT classifying and marking it as such!
