Well, I don't think he was the orchestrator of any leak - that doesn't strike me as Benning - but once the info was out there, I think he'd be fine with it. Especially if it got Boeser back into camp quicker, which is more Benning-like.
I thought the same thing a couple days ago. The "leak" made me think the organization was firing a PR shot over his bow, because it was a decent offer.
