There's no doubt that sources knew the specifics considering the conversation was taped, Tiki. It's also confirmed that Trump was warned by the acting U.S. AG weeks ago that Flynn could be subject to blackmail after he let Pence unknowingly float a false narrative and vouch for Flynn.
That doesn't mean national security or FBI investigators feel the transcripts are appropriate for public release at this point. That's not weird to me.
Small portions of the Pentagon Papers were leaked and published four years after the papers were compiled and the full papers weren't released for 40 years. The Pentagon Papers and the Flynn tape are not comparable in scope, severity, nor situation, in my opinion.
But....maybe portions of the Flynn tapes will be leaked too. I hope not; I'd rather see them released and addressed through appropriate channels.
