If this action was illegal and/or treasonous...would not Comey be in jail right now? He showed and gave them to Mueller first! He is the special prosecutor which gives Mueller the right to arrest.
In addition, Mueller discussed with Comey before the testimony, what could be released to the public because....wait...here is the word....UNCLASSIFIED!!! If any of this is illegal, then Mueller has just incriminated himself....because he allowed more of the memo content to be released with a narrative of more info.

(2,749 posts)He didn't leak, he released. That's more than semantics as the GOP is using "leaks" as an alternative story to incriminate Comey.
My 2¢.

(1,007 posts)And I am so tired of GOPers saying leaked. If there was truly a crime, Mueller would have already arrested him.
"unmasking" are their buzzwords to frame the narrative. Sort of like "dimpled chads" and "hanging chads" in 2000.

Watch and see the FBI and NSA as well as the CIA take the Trump Crime Family apart once and for all. Trump has teased and berated the Law Enforcement Community once to often and Karma is about to balance the scales.

(14,542 posts)trump seems to be under the impression that whatever he says in the Oval office is automatically classified.
Comey did not release his notes until after trump tweeted about the meeting. So if leaking is the word they want to use, trump leaked first. trump is good at leaking, in every definition of the word.
