Okay to be clear, by my understanding:

Kaelen Deese uploaded these documents to Scribd on March 6th, 2026, the day after DOJ finally released the typed 302s.

Amy Gabrielle found them later, via Google search. She wrote up a Substack piece and posted on Reddit, with custom redactions.

ReZeroForDays (as ReZeroForDays) used the information in the redacted documents to trace the leak back to Deese and reached out to him about the third interview.

Deese provided ReZeroForDays (a stranger on the internet) with the third document, unredacted (not public at that time).

ReZeroForDays then contacted Ellie Leonard with the notes, and she connected them to me. I had independently traced the leak to Deese using a different methodology, contacted his editor, and got them to replace the documents with properly redacted versions.

So the complete provenance is: Kaelen Deese → Amy Gabrielle → ReZeroForDays → Ellie Leonard. The question is, who gave them to Deese?
