Would this not be something Wikileaks could handle dispersal of?

It's my understanding that they are well set up to handle stuff like this. Both dead man switch style "if you don't check in, we'll get to work" stuff, and with widespread news industry contacts and social media accounts.

I'm sure they could but then they'd become the source. Ideally there would be tons of corroborating evidence so it'd be undeniable, but it might not have as much reach to normies as dishing everything to many places directly, as difficult as that'd be.
