Those things can't both be right, can they?
We're up to our eyeballs in "leaks", and so far the thing they have in common is that they support one group of people or another. They don't really help the group. In the case where there was a mild uprising (CDO's), there was no warning. Then we've seen cases where rumors failed to materialize entirely. Which makes them selective, and not particularly accurate.
I think the cliffnotes are pretty obvious: the MEC doesn't play all that well together. Guys are tripping over themselves to accuse each other of various misdeeds, and they've been selectively passing bits of information, in a mixture of true and false, to like-minded friends, in order to shape opinion. That's what's going on.
