Assuming McCarthy is the leaker, I think some people — perhaps even yours truly — might be putting too much emphasis on the partisan donation thing. I think it’s relevant, but hardly dispositive — indeed, given the paltry supply of facts, nothing is settled. I have no doubt there are plenty of ardent Democrats and Republicans in all branches of the defense bureaucracy who would never dream of leaking classified information solely out of partisan ardor. And, I sincerely doubt that, if McCarthy’s guilty, her motives were anything like transparently partisan. Most people align with political parties because they have certain beliefs, not the other way around.
