CNN’s Toobin: Comey Is in ‘Pretty Vulnerable Position’ for Leaking the Memos

‘I think James Comey may have a real problem there’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: "And in fact, when the — when the administration or Congress released those — some versions of those memos, some of the portions were blacked out. I think James Comey actually is in a pretty vulnerable position here. Just because something is not marked classified doesn’t mean that after the fact it couldn’t be retroactively designated classified. I think Comey may really have a problem there. The President is wrong, however, that the leak was what caused the appointment of the Special Counsel. What caused the appointment of the Special Counsel was the President firing James Comey. That was the key — that was the key event which had nothing to do with the president’s — with Comey’s leaks. So the President is pushing on a vulnerability of Comey, but he's giving a misleading picture of how these events unfolded.”
