The leak was unnecessary. Other than that, Comey came across as a really great director of the FBI.
If it was confidential and privileged information then the Don should have used his executive privilege. As it was unclassified information it was within the public realm of information, fully accessible under FOIA. It was more a disclosure than a leak.

A private citizen disclosed public information to the press about his conversations with the president, in the interest of the public good. Comey is a stand up guy who has some very clear moral guidelines.
