I think the leaks come from people with political agendas, whatever they may be. They could be coming from those with a right-leaning stance, making things sound worse than they are so that when indictments come they are no big deal. They could be coming from those with a left-leaning stance, making things seems worse than they are to try to inflict political damage prior to something coming out that isn't really that bad. I can't really think of a reason to understate what the real charges may be, but I'm sure there are politcially savvy reasons for someone to do so.

I have no idea about the leaks, really. All I know is that to pay attention to any of them serves no purpose. Whatever is being leaked, I don't believe it can really be trusted. I'll just wait until the charges, if any, are announced.
