Real Information. Real Leaks. Real People.

Let's create a hypothetical situation: Let's say I'm someone who is part of a presidential administration, a highly placed intelligence agency person or a senior employee of a law enforcement organization. I have some information that pertains to a current situation that could end up being a scandal that involves the current administration. I want to share that information and make it public. Which of the following would be a good choice for releasing that information so it could be disseminated? Which of the following would be the logical choice to contact and receive my crucial information?

If you're MI5 or MI6 and you have info to leak, you may want to go to someone that you have an established relationship with. For instance, an ex-MP.
