Wonder if it’s moves/countermoves. They want to remove him but a leak that he’s having an emergency by someone not on their payroll gives you two options. Let her be right and then deal with having to explain away anything else she may have reported on previously which is a Pandora’s box. OR let him remain, discredit her post and find another way to accomplish this later.

This would all be based on the premise that she’s on the right side and wants him to stick until the election.
