It is, to some observers, looking like Comey set up the leak by giving a false story to a leaker.
Comey and the FBI have not responded to requests as to the veracity of this story.
That tells us that there is either more to the story or that the story is fake.
Keep in mind that Comey was kept in position because Trump and Sessions trust him.
Comey is playing this straight.
He is on the Trump team.
