This article discusses, in depth, the circumstances surrounding Comey, and provides great context through discussion of cases Comey weighed in on showing he violated his own duties. Further it shows court rulings that would apply to Comey from cases involving his former employees at the FBI who did similar or lesser offenses and received lengthy prison time. The article cites numerous official documents in public domain, and quotes from court case testimony.

This is a great, balanced look at Comey's recent "leaks" that violated his FBI employee agreements as well as government confidentiality agreements.
