      The Intercept told the second contractor where the documents had come from and sent a picture of them to the second contractor.

          No, I don't think so, based on the information provided. She mailed the document anonymously, it appears from the information known so far.

          And the second contractor reported back up the chain about that contact with reporter? So she got sold out by the intercept?

          That just means that the government won't bother investigating her claims, so it is extra safe.

          Sounds like the Intercept revealed their method, allowing the traceback to the source.
