The FBI told Manafort when they were searching his condo that he should expect to be indicted; it was Manafort's people who leaked that. I imagine the FBI issued a similar heads up to Flynn and Flynn Jr. recently, and it is the Flynn camp leaking it.
The Flynn camp is probably trying to figure out if Trump would pardon both Flynn and Flynn Jr., so they can decide whether to flip or not. By leaking this, they may get a reassuring message from Trump, like the "stay strong" message he sent Flynn Sr. a while back. Trump has yet to send such a message about Flynn Jr., that I am aware of, so I imagine the Flynn camp is particularly nervous about Flynn Jr.

While widely anticipated, it is strangely different than how Manafort was arrested

When he pointed a finger at Hillary he was pointing four fingers back at himself.

It may have been leaked to knock Brazile out of the news cycle and hurt her book sales

So funny that Donald fired Comey over Flynn which caused Mueller which means Flynn going down!

Donna Brazile must be in full panic mode now that she's not the center of attention. Poor thing.

That's an interesting shot; they both look very upset. When was it taken?

Bringing Mercer down is almost as good as bringing down Dotard and Flynn both.
