Comey is not as guilty as Reality Winner. He leaked an unclassified personal memo. Winner leaked highly classified info. It’s not the same.

If Comey had previously testified under oath that he never leaked anything to the press, he’s still okay. Technically he didn’t give it to the press; he gave it to “a friend.”

Comey is a snake, but he’s not going down on account of a personal memo. More’s the pity.

That's not true. From a legal standpoint asking someone to do something for you is the same as doing it yourself. Except you've created an additional count of conspiracy.

Not true, it’s not a personal memo, it was about work. A personal memo would be a grocery list.

The reason lawyers are so revered by guilty people.

According to Trump’s lawyer, Comey admitted one of the documents was classified.

“..one of which he testified was classified”
