Just stop and ask yourself for a moment, WHO, (what political ideology), has a long documented history of leaking information in order to advance their own social and political interests? Then look at THE TIMING of the leak.

"Opinion: Why Trump’s White House Leaked and Biden’s Hasn’t"
Jack Shafer for Politico; March 25, 2021.

quote This time four years ago, the Trump administration had already burst its banks with sensational, revealing and damaging leaks. The Washington Post had reported the dodgy phone conversations between President Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. An executive memo about reestablishing CIA “black site” prisons had appeared in the New York Times. Trump advisers candidly—though anonymously—gossiped with the Times about the president’s “impetuous,” impulsive ways and his reliance on “alternative facts.” And a confidential White House request that the FBI publicly discredit reports of Trump campaign connections to Russian intelligence seeped onto CNN.

Among the Trump administrations' numerous leakers, President Trump himself; perhaps the most prolific Trump administration leaker of them all.
