4. He kicked the hornet's nest, that's for sure.

All I can figure is that he tipped off the Ruskies to a pending operation. And if it was an operation like the Brussels attack, planned by whomever, or any other attack, whereby any preventative efforts could be construed as compromising to HUMINT and therefore not taken, possibly there was some merit to getting the word out.

Pure speculation but given the incredible sophistication of our many intel agencies, and our many allies' many intel agencies, I really have to wonder exactly how the more elaborate attacks keep happening, like the first Paris attack, in the capitals of Europe no less.



p.s. your OP is about Comey's diary so my guess is no, apart from being an election issue I don't think it will change anything, though I hope I'm wrong.
