On a side note, the former administration lied about knowledge of russian involvement in hacking elections. They knew prior to nov 8. This is exculpatory for trump in context of the leaks by winner

While you can argue the legality of the leak or whether or not the leak was ethical, it in no way is entrapment or planting evidence.
Entrapment would be if Comey convinced or tricked Trump into doing something that he otherwise wouldn't have done which is not what happened. Planting evidence would occur if Comey presented false information about Trump in order to hurt him. Now, Trump can argue whether or not everything Comey said is 100% accurate and true. He is free to do so and I'm sure Comey would welcome him taking the stand and testifying on this matter.
What we have here with Comey and Trump is one guy (Trump) trying to manipulate the other guy (Comey) and that other guy trying to cover his ass.
