      I can’t think of very many classes of people that would be briefed on this matter.

      For one thing, this is a sealed matter occuring before a grand jury. So the defense bar would have no reason to know about it.

      I can’t imagine Congress would be briefed at this stage either.

      The one group of people I can think of who would be “briefed” on the matter is the deputy attorney general and his staff.

      Hmm. Was Boente one of the people in the loop about the indictment(s)?

      And this would explain his resignation . . . how?

      causality the other way: he's fired and so he leaks

          Rather than publicly announcing he was fired, he leaks grand jury information that is going to come out in a few days anyway?

          He may have been forced out. Or may be a witness.. timing is very suspect.

          I go with witness since Comey reported the calls he had with Trump to him when he was Acting Deputy AG.

          Exactly. Also, his 'resignation' could be the pre-game show for Trump's Saturday Night Massacre.
