He may have chosen to reveal private and deeply personal family information. That is his right. By definition a leak is :"A news leak is a disclosure of embargoed information in advance of its official release, or the unsanctioned release of confidential information." (Wiki)
So Politico can now officially bite me until it can prove Biden did not sanction what he himself said...

(89,264 posts)wasn't it always assumed that it came from Biden himself or a family member when they talked about what his son wanted. and Beau Biden was a politician who was going to run for office himself. it's no surprise that he would want his dad to run for president.
by referring to it as a leak instead of just reporting it as it is it makes it seem like there is something scandalous. when it's a non issue from the start.
and Maureen Dowd is an asshole so i would not trust anything coming from her. she has a history of making things out to be as they are not. usually non issues into something bigger.
