    Outside of some types of geopolitical / strategic maneuvers, it’s pretty much never a good thing when something being “leaked” causes you problems. And it’s pretty much never that, when something “leaks.” If someone wants to distribute that information, I assume they can sell it to your adversaries, quietly, and you’ll never know.

    The public leaks are pretty much always that you’re up to some heinous shit, and the public finds out as they should, and then you set up a high whining sound that you should be exempt from scrutiny or opposition, because you’re above those people, and you should be able to cheat and disrespect them without consequence, because you’re too special to have to take part in society except from far above it, safe.
