here's the deal. 40Head is legit. He's been in front of a few major things recently; however, what is annoying is when those who might be in-the-know begin using things like "operational safety" as if they are part of the team. When these guys start grouping themselves into the Q Team, they just come off as wanna-bes. I believe 40Head knows. I don't believe "operational security" is part of his call.

Have source
They tell you information
If you leak that specific information, it will clearly be a breach of secrecy requirements for whoever your source works for, or for whoever gave your source that information
If you leak it, they will suddenly get in trouble. You may lose your source, they may lose their job (if they're lucky). AAAnd it distracts people doing an important job by having to play hunt the mole rather than do their work
If you merely give vague hints which let others know the gist, but do not break operational secrecy of your sources organisation, there is no real harm done, and as such no need for any of the stuff mentioned above to happen
Ta-da. operational safety in a nutshell. I doubt he's saying it because he actually feels in personal threat. But don't underestimate how easily his sources could get fucked if he leaked information they gave him.
source : I know a fair few intel twitter people, albeit from the more general geopolitics side of things

Ummm. This was pretty fucking specific. High prrifile arrest since Epstein. Big enough to VINDICATE q. Pretty specific. Nobody is gonna give a shit if juicy smellit is rearrested at this point. But if it was a clinton or a bush, now thats vindication. Thats pretty fuckin specific.

Then why "leak" at all? Something this vague accomplishes nothing.

There's no harm done but also no good
People leak info because they want it out there. What point is there to leaking someone is about to be arrested? None unless it's time sensitive or you think they'll try to keep it under wraps. In both cases you'd need to provide at least somewhat specific info to counteract that.
Someone just saying "someone big will be arrested soon" is just distracting and trying to blow up their own importance. If they're wrong nobody will be able to prove someone big wasn't arrested and if they're right they've done Jack shit.

I'm a journalist, I know how it works. And it's degrees of separation. the juicier the info, the closer to the action one is; 40Head is not close to the inner circle. I have no doubt he knows who the 2nd person is. I just disagree with him suggesting he can't divulge anything due "operational security" as it suggests he's closer than he is or even part of the team.
