He’s such a liar. Memos made in the course of his job are FBI material. And the memos were ‘naturally born’ classified from the beginning. He’s trying to slip out of that now by claiming that he gave his friend special clearance. Isn’t that convenient? But here’s the problem. He testified specifically that he gave them to Richman “to force a special counsel.” The only way you “force a special counsel” is if the information about them becomes public, i.e. are leaked to your buddies at the NY Times, thru Richman. And he had allegedly previously leaked to the NY Times. Plus reports are that Comey leaked them to more people than just Richman including to his now-lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald. Put him, Richman, Fitgerald and Michael Schmidt of the NY Times under oath.

Former FBI Director James Comey made startling new statements on Thursday during an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier that many instantly said was a disaster for Comey.
Comey defended sharing his classified memos about conversations with President Donald Trump with his friend, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman.
“That memo was unclassified then,” Comey told Baier. “It’s still unclassified. It’s in my book. The FBI cleared that book before it could be published.”
“I didn’t consider it part of an FBI file,” Comey continued. “It was my personal aid to memoir.”
