Quote:‘Fox & Friends’ Walks Back Debunked Report About James Comey
But the show did not delete its earlier tweets about the story.

“Fox & Friends” has withdrawn a report about former FBI Director James Comey that was debunked hours earlier.
Nearly 15 hours after reporting that Comey revealed “top secret” information in his personal memos about his meetings with President Donald Trump, the show admitted the notes “did not have top secret info.”

Correction: Comey's memos did not have top secret info. The report says half were classified at secret or confidential level, not top secret
9:04 PM - 10 Jul 2017
Co-host Steve Doocy also addressed the controversy Tuesday morning, admitting the show was “mistaken.”
“Yesterday on this program, we aired and tweeted this story saying former FBI Director James Comey leaked memos containing top secret information,” he said. “We were mistaken in that. According to the report, half of the memos contain information classified at the secret or confidential, not top-secret, level. Markings of the documents in which Mr. Comey leaked are, at this point, unclear. Just wanted to straighten that out.”
As of Tuesday morning, the show’s Twitter account had not deleted its original erroneous post about the story, which was based on a report from The Hill. Trump’s tweets about the story ― in which he accused Comey of breaking the law ― also remain live.

James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!
6:40 AM - 10 Jul 2017
Comey revealed last month that he documented his conversations with the president in memos, one of which he shared with a friend, Columbia Law School’s Daniel Richman, who in turned shared it with The New York Times. The Hill reported on Monday that classified information was contained in some of Comey’s memos, but not necessarily the one that was leaked.
Later on Monday, Richman clarified that the memo did not contain top secret information.
Trump fired Comey in May amid an ongoing investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia.

It was still classified information. Not as highly classified, but still classified.

Correct. IIRC the "story" that was being pushed though was that what he RELEASED was classified. I don't believe that is the case now.

Ah, I missed that part. So yes, it appears that it is not certain whether or not Comey leaked classified information, only that some of his overall memos contain classified information.

If there was little difference, or if the story had very little merit in changing, FOX News of all places would not have backed away from it AND issued a statement (5 seconds...lol) about it.
Did the POTUS tweet about it being wrong yet?

And wasn't even leaked.
Why are we even talking about yet ANOTHER of the President's erroneous tweets based on a Fox News report?

Just today he spoke in France and talked about the Russian who met with his son being specially approved to stay in the US by the Obama DOJ.
Literally within an hour of it being on FOX News as an exclusive/breaking story.
But he doesn't have time to watch television.

OBAMA! Of course. Why didn't I see that right away.
Obama aligned with Putin to work for a Trump win. Or maybe it was a sting operation to hurt Trump AFTER he won the election?
Some will argue that it was Lynch, not Obama, and others will argue it wasn't even Lynch. She just happened to be AG when some state department official made a routine call. You see how Obama can hide his fingerprints.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it would depend on "what your definition of classified" is.
And, no, I don't think Comey leaked classified info. I would hope he's smarter than that. There is some debate over whether those conversations with the POTUS were classified....and I don't believe they would be.
