And also likely lied during his Presser and a couple media interviews about not bringing up Flynn.
Comey: Had all these concerns, didn't trust his boss. Yet didn't alert his chain of command about these things. Didn't resign. Offered to tell Trump he was not under investigation unsolicited, but didn't want to announce publicly. And worst of all, leaked government documents in order to force a special investigator.
The media: Exposed for the many false stories they do in order to get viewers and clicks. Using un-named sources to pretty much make shit up to fit the narrative they wish to sell today.
Lynch: Lynch exposed for trying to co-ordinate with the FBI to get on the Clinton campaigning messaging of calling it a matter and not investigation. Comey so concered about her, he steps out to make things public, and even thought about a special investigator but did not do it.
McCain: Dude has lost his mind. Totally incoherent today. His staff had to post on FB that "his message went over the heads of the voters". Many people wondered if he was stroking out this morning.
So all an all, just your typical average day in the swamp that is D.C.

Comey didn't tell Trump he wasn't under investigation "unsolicited", Trump came to him and demanded he do it. He also did not leak govt papers. He leaked his own personal notes.
Also he explained pretty well why he didn't notify his superiors.. That was because he had none, because the Trump admin has been in such chaos and Session had to recuse him self. Comey had no one to tell.. Also he did share this info with other in the FBI, so nothing at all like you said, that he told no one..
