Opinionated - Yes, Donna Brazille admitted leaking the questions when she was working as a CNN commentator and she was relieved of her duties. I don't think there was any proof that CNN endorsed what she did or that it was some kind of ongoing conspiracy.

Joe Smith likes to state things as absolute fact when he has no proof that anyone has the questions in advance.

Anything can happen in this debate and you are correct that both sides will declare a victory. It's gonna be fun to watch.
