    You don’t print that unless you’ve at least seen a copy, probably not without being able to show it as well. If somehow Murdoch has turned on him, he now can access discovery, which would be wild.

      I don’t think it’s a turn. I think it’s like you said. They have hard evidence and even Murdock knows it’s better to keep that shit in house. Whoever the source is would have gone elsewhere. That’s not something that gets pushed under the rug.

      The source for this clearly can’t be paid off to stay quiet. Going to the WSJ first is absolutely on purpose.

      If I had to make a wild guess. Maxwell. Only person that would have a bombshell like this with hard evidence. I think it’s a warning shot too. I really doubt there isn’t more.
