More than half of the memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been determined to contain classified information, according to interviews with officials familiar with the documents.
This revelation raises the possibility that Comey broke his own agency’s rules and ignored the same security protocol that he publicly criticized Hillary Clinton over in the waning days of the 2016 presidential election.

It is interesting how concerned Republicans are with these memos possibly containing classified information, given that they just leaked them all to the news media.

Yep....and just riddled with irony....

Look who's suddenly got all "woke" over leaks..... [twitter=RobertMueIIer/status/986654361202954240] Republicans are so concerned about classified information being leaked, that they couldn't even wait 24 hours before leaking the Comey memos to the news media.

It is interesting how concerned Republicans are with these memos possibly containing classified information, given that they just leaked them all to the news media. The classified portions of the notes have been redacted. The issue as I see it is that Comey took these documents with him when he left the bureau. He says he considered them personal, however "personal" documents would not contain classified information.

He wrote them without intending the content to be classified, it was only after the FBI reviewed them that the agency determined portions of several of the memos should be classified. So he certainly didn't know they "were" classified at the time he wrote them and then took them with him when he was fired.
Grey area, I admit. But that's the way of classified material.

C'mon Opie, cut the crap.
The deflection aside, what classified information did Republicans leak to the news media?

So what are you saying Ringo? That Comey should never have created memos regarding his uncomfortable conversations with the President where the President attempted to pressure him to stop investigating a member of the administration?
I think Comey was pretty much in a no win situation here. Without the memos, Trump calls him a liar when he speaks up and he has nothing to support his version of events. Or he writes the memos and then has Trump and his supporters wringing their hands over his "leaking" classified information, when there is no evidence that the classified information ended in anyone's hands who wasn't cleared for it.
Petraeus really is worlds different. He was sharing classified information with someone he was sleeping with, knowing full well that what he was doing was not kosher, but he did it anyway. Clearly he was thinking with his little head and not his big one. But that is significantly different from Comey's situation.

Don't know how you'd come to gather that from what I said unless of course it's to deflect from the question I asked. I'll ask again.
What classified information did Republicans leak to the media?

Comey's situation is similar to Petraeus' because here's the part you left out... Petraeus was charged and convicted of among other things removing classified information and keeping it in an unsecure place. He (Comey) also lied during a congressional hearing, claiming he was never the source of any leaks, yet also admitted to sending information to a friend in order that it would be leaked. Now whether that information was classified, I don't know. But he did lie about it.
