He said that he shared his personal, unclassified memos, which he has every right to do.

He said that he shared his personal, unclassified memos, which he has every right to do.
He also said he wrote them in a way so they would not be classified, so that the information would be sharable (to those not authorized to see classified material).

Indeed he did.
It is very similar to politicians that publish books after they leave office. They talk about situations they were part of, but cannot reveal anything classified.

If it was written on FBI time or used its resources it is classified internally per their employment agreements. COmey giving it out and then denying he did in the past when asked was a crime.

This issue may arise because someone gets a little confused during their questioning. It is possible a mistake was made by comey. It is kind of stressful and with stress sometimes you get mixed up a bit, not completely understanding the question.
For perjury you need to have been lying willfully, mixed up does not count most times. Anyone being questioned can make mistakes, that happens a lot. You have to know you are not telling the truth in order for it to be perjury. If the info you were led to believe is not real, you are just a fool, not a perjurer.

You really tortured the language.
No. I simply paid attention to the specific words he was asked.
The Man cost your precious demon the Election.
I was not a Hillary supporter.
You couldn't believe he injected himself into the Election
Actually, I was one of the few that supported what he did during the election, whether it hurt Hillary or not.
Now, he represents truth and honor.
Yes, he is a honorable man. Shame he has become part of the mess.
You are a hypocrite.
No. You are projecting things other people have said on to me.
If you want to disagree with me, that's fine. But don't be dishonest and just make crap up.
Why can't you reply to anyone who disagrees with you without this ? You can't reply with a complete thought ? Quit breaking down everyone's posts to weasel out of answering.
You didn't support Hillary, and I won Top Gun last year.

Well, technically, he wasnt the anonymous source, the professor friend he told was.

Sorry. No matter what you think, he did not reveal classified info and he is entitled to his own intellectual property.

No, he did not perjure himself.
He did not act as an anonymous source leaking info to the media and he did not ask anyone at the FBI to be an anonymous source.
Did he perjure himself when he claimed he leaked the memo to the NYT in response to a specific Trump Tweet? A tweet that it turned out was written a day after the NYT got the memo
There is a lot of context to that we simply do not know. It's quite possible that his friend gave the NYT the memos and told them to wait for their say-so to release them. So they have it in their hands, but do not release them until Comey sees the Trump tweet and gives the thumbs-up to his friend.

Except in that scenario the leak did not happen because of the tweet.

I don't know what that has to do with the fact the Trump tweet can't be the reason Comey gave it to his friend.

The fact he prolly supplied it before the tweet most likely and told him to wait until trump made a tweet on that subject. To throw off suspicion.
I know a easy way to solve this. come down hard on the friend and turn him against Comey. prosecutor threatens his friend with 5o years in prison or something.
