Except ignorance of the procedures for handling classified information was never an excuse. Once one got the clearance, a huge responsibility was part of the package. All of the justifications by Comey and friends was DS-BS.

"I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus, and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms.
Second, ā[w]hen the President acts in absence of either a congressional grant or denial of authority, he can only rely upon his own independent powers, but there is a zone of twilight in which he and Congress may have concurrent authority, or in which its distribution is uncertain. When the President acts within āa zone of twilight, he acts without congressional authorization for his actions and may face the ramifications for doing so at a later date. While acting under the āzone of
twilight the Presidentās independent (as opposed to concurrent) powers are at their fullest. In this case, the President can act with āall-embracing, swiftly moving authority.
The powers of the President within this "zone of twilight" must be considered within certain factors.
First, whether "necessity" exists to authorize the Presidentās exercise of powers. This increases the likelihood that a court will later favor the Presidentās exercise of discretion. The President may act without implied or express congressional approval, but he cannot act without necessity.
The greater the immediate necessity for Presidential action, the greater likelihood that the courts will sustain the Presidentās continuing, independent authority.
The Court has long held that āin the declared exercise of [the Presidentās] powers as Commander in Chief of the Army in time of war and of grave public danger[, is] not to be set aside by the courts without the clear conviction that [it is] in conflict with the Constitution or laws of Congress.
Only āexcept upon the clearest conviction that it cannot be reconciled with the Constitution and the constitutional
legislation of Congress could any Presidential action be set aside by the courts.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
Today, Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) announced he will be introducing the Restraint of Executive In Governing Nation (REIGN) Act, legislation that requires President Donald Trump, and future presidents, to turn over all presidential emergency action documents (PEADS) that may give the President extraordinary powers. PEADS are draft executive orders, proclamations, and messages to the U.S. Congress prepared by a presidential administration in advance of anticipated emergencies. Although Congress has made available to the President a number of emergency powers upon the declaration of a national emergency, the content of most PEADS have never been made public or shared with Congress, raising concerns that President Trump could use such documents to claim authority during the coronavirus pandemic that exceeds those given by Congress. Specifically, the REIGN Act requires the President turn over PEADS to Congress not later than 30 days after the approval, adoption, or revision of any PEAD, and requires the President to submit to Congress all PEADS currently in existence.
