is this leak a trial balloon?

But yours was my second thought, which I kinda dismissed as being way too reckless. Partly because it's a limited pool of people with access. Hell even the FBI could figure it out with that small of a suspect pool. Obviously, it would take Congress and the DOJ a bit longer.
The way I'm leaning is it certainly seems genuine and kinda hard to fake the style and voice of a sitting Judge, so was it to whip up the minions, given their total lack of enthusiasm of all things DNC/Biden economy related? They have been shoveling all manner of fear porn with hardly a bother from the minions lately.
Option 2 and 3 seem entirely reckless, which makes sense considering #3 above. I've said it before and am willing to sacrifice the electrons to say it again: Expect the Unexpected - from these desperate despots and the mid-terms are coming. They need something, anything.
Or was I mistaken to expect media ethics and journalistic integrity in #1??
