Former FBI Director James Comey, in a wide-ranging interview with Fox News on Thursday, defended sharing his memos about conversations with President Trump with multiple people, while denying it was a “leak.”
“That memo was unclassified then,” Comey told anchor Bret Baier during an appearance on “Special Report.” “It's still unclassified. It's in my book. The FBI cleared that book before it could be published.”
Comey acknowledged giving the memos to at least three people including his friend, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman. He said he sent Richman a copy of the two-page unclassified memo and “asked him to get the substance of it out to the media.”
“The reason I'm smiling, Bret,” Comey said. “I don't consider what I shared Mr. Richman a leak.”
Get that?
Comey wrote it ... on Government devices ... about a private conversation with the President ... while he led the FBI ... and told a "friend" to alert the media.
But you can't call it a leak.
oooooookay
Another Comey best of was when he declared he still, to this day, has no idea that the Clinton campaign paid for the dossier. SweartahGod.
On the other hand, it's understandable he'd lie about that one because otherwise he'd have to explain why he didn't make sure that who paid for the dossier was noted in the famous FISA warrants.
McCabe? Weeelll. he's a good guy ... We'll see if he still feels that way if McCabe tosses him overboard.
Strozk & Page? Lovely couple ... perhaps their emails were misunderstood.
There was a LOT that he couldn't recall or wasn't sure of.
