“The bottom line, is I see no credible claim by any serious person that that violated the law,” Comey said.

Comey and Anderson Cooper then had an interesting exchange that revealed Comey seems to believe a “leak” is specifically when classified information is intentionally released to the public.

“I intentionally gave this information to a friend, intending that it be out in the media. I wanted it to get out in the media. As a private citizen I could do that and did do that just as I written about it in my book,” Comey said.
