Comey said it was top secret material that was sent out.

True, but he didn't say it was marked top secret.

Neither did the article in Vice News that this article references.

In fact, the only person I've seen make that claim is Carmine Sabia, the author of the Bizpac Review article. She may have exclusive knowledge of this hot nugget but I think it's more likely she's lying to get gullible people to click on the story.
