The timing of the release of the leak is suspicious. Just in time to be too late to have an effect, and right before the "période de réserve". Maybe a last push to demonize Macron's opponent ? This leak happened at the end of an election where pretty much everything seems to have been orchestrated to turn a two rounds election into a one turn plebiscite for Macron: - small irrelevant candidates easily got their required 500 signatures (cheminade, lasalle, etc.) while serious candidates struggled (mélenchon, lepen) - the outsider (fillon) had scandals made public all over the media while what he did is politics as usual and other candidates scandals got no coverage - the direct contender (hamon) had his own political party pull the rug under his feets with rumors that the party was preparing for macron's victory. - media gave a lot of attention to lepen both pushing her by reporting it was inevitable she'll qualify for second round and demonizing her at the same time to make sure she would not win. And the list of suspicious things continues, the last one and not the most significant being macronleaks being released with a weird timing.
