Rep. Devin Nunes: James Comey having mismarked 'secret' memo at home was illegal
FBI documents unveiled this week show special agents arriving at Comey's home in June 2017 to collect his memos, which were largely contemporaneous notes on the former FBI director's interactions with President Trump during the transition period and early months of his administration. This FBI log showed, "Comey observed that the second page of the memo dated March 30, 2017 , had the incorrect banner line classification of SECRET//NOFORN rather than UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO at the top and bottom of the second page." "NOFORN" means no foreign nationals are allowed to see the document's contents. "FOUO" stands for "For Official Use Only." Despite the mislabel, Nunes said this memo should never have made its way out of a secure setting. "The whole idea that you can take something that is marked 'Secret//No Foreign' and then just decide on your own to take that out of the SCIF, so out of a controlled area and not handled properly and take to someone’s house, or a university or wherever these memos went to. You just can’t do that," the California Republican said on Fox News on Thursday. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-08-02 |
