RE: no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media. "During his testimony, Comey stated that he provided Memo 4 to a friend to share the contents with a reporter." - OIG report Sleazy Comey released it to the media through his friend. What a fucking weasel.

Unfortunately for lying scumbag lowlife partisan hack liberals, some people can read the English that was omitted: Through our investigation, we learned that Comey considered Memos 2 through 7 to be his personal documents. He created Memo 2 and Memo 4 on his personal laptop computer, and kept signed originals of four of the Memos — Memo 2, Memo 4, Memo 6, and Memo 7 — in his personal safe at home, while he was serving as FBI Director. He also generated a duplicate set of “originals” of Memos 2 through 7 for his Chief of Staff, James Rybicki, to maintain at the FBI. When Comey was removed as FBI Director on May 9, 2017, Comey still had copies of Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 in his personal safe at home. After being removed as Director, Comey did not report to the FBI that he had copies of these Memos. Comey subsequently provided his copies of Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 to the Office of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III on June 7, 2017.2 On May 14, 2017, Comey used his personal scanner and private email account to provide electronic copies of Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 to one of his personal attorneys. Three days later, on May 17, that attorney provided, via a personal email account, copies of these four Memos to two other attorneys, who were also part of Comey's legal team. Of the Memos Comey shared with his attorneys, Memo 2 contained six words that the FBI determined in June 2017 to be classified at the “CONFIDENTIAL” level;3 Memos 4 and 6 contained information that the FBI determined in June 2017 to be “For Official Use Only,” but did not contain classified information; and Memo 7 was redacted by Comey before transmission, which obscured the information in Memo 7 that the FBI determined in June 2017 to be classified. Comey did not seek authorization from the FBI before providing Memos 2, 4, 6, and 7 to his attorneys. On May 16, 2017, Comey provided a separate copy of Memo 4 to Richman, who was one of Comey's attorneys and also a close personal friend. Richman also had served as a Special Government Employee at the FBI during a portion of the time that Comey was FBI Director. Comey sent photographs of both pages of Memo 4 to Richman via text message from Comey's personal cell phone. Comey instructed Richman to share the contents of Memo 4, but not the Memo itself, with a specific reporter for The New York Times. Comey did not seek FBI authorization before providing the contents of Memo 4, through Richman, to a reporter. As noted above, the FBI later marked Memo 4 “For Official Use Only” and determined that it did not contain classified information. We found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the Memos to members of the media.
