The Director of the FBI is an Original Classification Authority. He rendered the classification determinations at the inception of the Memoranda. He even redacted a part of one memo so it could be declassified.
So long as he did all of this before May 9th, he is fine. https://t.co/4ug4cSqbQp
One of the Comey memos was later classified at the lowest level *after* he was fired, and the other memo was redacted by Comey before he gave it to his friend. It’s also important to note that Comey also had the power to classify and declassify information when he led the FBI. https://t.co/2HMjryQzsa— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) April 21, 2018
