Comey gave one of his non-classified memos to his friend at Columbia Law that gave it to the press. He was the one right after Comey was fired doing all the PR work for Comey.

TO add

This was actually specifically discussed moments later, Comey clarified that the memos we NOT classified, and as a private citizen he had the right to give them out to whomever he chose. So at least that was added to the record.

I only caught some of this on my way to work but the part where Comey essentially said "Literally the entire intelligence community is in agreement about broad and severe russian involvement in the US election and this is a bipartisan issue"

He keeps answering, with regard to why didn't he say so publicly, "because in the future he could be under investigation and then we'd have a duty to correct the record" so often I have his answer memorized (but not enough that the quotes are word-for-word as he presents). They're just trying to do nothing but discredit him. It serves no purpose asking why something was leaked or wasn't leaked except to suggest that Comey is directly behind all the leaking, because this hearing is for questioning, and it makes no sense to ask someone something they have no way of knowing.
