Did you miss the part about OWN information, somebody else's plans are not an OCA's own information.

Well, Con lies getting busted quickly today
But in a helpful explainer from The Washington Post, Philip Bump writes that the Fox & Friends segment, and subsequent tweet about the report — with the caption “Report accuses material James Comey leaked to a friend contained top secret information” — is inaccurate and misleading.
As Bump notes, “If Comey gave classified information to someone without security clearance to leak to the press, it’s problematic. But that’s not what the Hill’s report says.”
The Hill instead writes that of the seven memos Comey prepared after his conversations with Trump, four were marked classified.
So, “the wording on that Fox report is misleading,” Bump writes. “The memos contained classified information is true when considering the memos as a group. It is not true, though, that each memo contained classified information — or, at least, it’s not true that each memo was marked as being classified.”
In fact, in Comey’s June testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, he stated that he passed one unclassified memo on to his friend, who in turn leaked that memo to the press.
“The tweet from Fox and Friends based on the Hill report is incorrect,” Bump notes. “And so, too, is Trump’s tweet. If there was classified information in the memo that Comey asked his friend to leak to the Times, that’s not yet been reported.”

Again, that is not how the law works.
Ok, cite the law then and an OCA prosecuted for it (pick any scenario you want)
So, it is your belief that if a person is an OCA and they use government computers to write a document that document can contain any information they want to put in it and release it to the public? Because they wrote it.
That is absolutely not true. This is how it would work. Should have the OCA reasonably known that the information should have been classified before releasing it to the public. That is how it would work.
There are written guidelines for determination of what is classified and the level of classification. The onus is on the OCAs to classify information that should reasonably be classified.
1. 'Should have known' doesn't apply - the person who upgrades classification is also an OCA - so which OCA to believe? They all have equal powers.
2. No proof that the classified memos of Comey were leaked - he specifically said that he leaked the UNCLASSIFIED one, so what proof do you have to say for any of this story?
And how do you know Comey didn't follow it? Or that he leaked the classified memos when he said he only leaked the unclassified memo?
You cite the law in which an OCA cannot be prosecuted.
Should have reasonably known is exactly how it works.
There are WRITTEN GUIDELINES. It is not in an OCA's sole discretion.
Your argument is that an OCA has no legal obligation to classify and that the classification system is in the sole discretion of the OCAs?
Sure
(3) Basis for liability.
A party to the SF 312, SF 189, or SF 189-A may be liable for disclosing "classified information" only if he or she knows or reasonably should know that: (i) the marked or unmarked information is classified, or meets the standards for classification and is in the process of a classification determination; and (ii) his or her action will result, or reasonably could result in the unauthorized disclosure of that information. In no instance may a party to the SF 312, SF 189 or SF 189-A be liable for violating its nondisclosure provisions by disclosing information when, at the time of the disclosure, there is no basis to suggest, other than pure speculation, that the information is classified or in the process of a classification determination.
