The reason to leak it is to put the fear of God into the people that conspire against the country, and to let them know that they are not quite as smart as they think they are. If "Johnheretohelp" knows this (someone out of the loop essentially and not tied to the NSA, at least any more), then everyone else important knows it too. Now they will have to wonder if VDV is in on a sting, VDV will have to wonder if he should go through with "throwing" the defense, and who has what on whom. It also makes others who might consider cheating think twice.
The point you are missing is that the DS is not the only people with access to high tech surveillance.
Even in the 70s, Deep Throat only agreed to share his information in the bottom of a parking garage deep underground, to prevent monitoring of the information conveyed.
Who has access to this guy's phone records?
NSA lol
Why would they leak that? I'm confused. Seems like if the DS wants the case thrown, they'd keep their deal to themselves?
Exactly. Which is why I also asked for a second credible source.
oh ...got ya. now I get it.

But couldn't DJT answer all those questions by terminating him and getting another lawyer?
