Kasowitz released an angry — and appallingly typed — statement to the press accusing Comey of leaking confidential information by handing over his memos about conversations with Trump to someone he knew would in turn provide the information to the media.

Kasowitz called the memos “privileged information” which he accused Comey of releasing in a “retaliatory” manner.

But, Tur said, Comey handed over those memos after he was no longer a part of the FBI. The memos were his personal papers, not classified government materials.

“He was a private citizen at this point, so you’re not necessarily ‘leaking’ information like a government employee would be leaking information,” Tur said. “He was a private citizen.”
