During Wednesday’s press briefing, Tony Snow implied that James Comey’s testimony was somehow inaccurate, claiming he “gave his side of what transpired that day.” Today, spokesman Tony Fratto suggests Comey may have been “out of line” for discussing a classified program:
Q If you won’t comment on that issue because of the classified nature of the program on which it was focused, it seems like you might think that Comey was out of line in discussing it.
MR. FRATTO: You can draw conclusions.
Q I mean, is there any possibility that Mr. Comey will be charged with divulging classified information for discussing this? I mean, if the President is not willing to discuss this, and it’s improper to do so, then wasn’t it improper for Mr. Comey to discuss this?
MR. FRATTO: I think that would be a question for the Department of Justice.
