So apparently we’re supposed to believe Kendra Duggar’s **mysterious inner circle** blew the whistle on the plea deal.

Except…there’s one tiny problem: **the plea deal is now a matter of public court record.**  
The court proceedings happened. The plea arrangement happened. The terms became publicly available. None of that proves that someone from Kendra’s inner circle secretly ran to Katie Joy with the scoop.

Being correct about **what happened** doesn’t magically prove you were given the information by some secret insider.  
Where’s the receipt?  
A dated message?  
An email?  
A screenshot showing the information was received **before it became public**?

**No?**

Then we’re basically at:

**Trust me, my source told me.**   
And apparently every time something becomes public, we’re supposed to retroactively crown the person who talked about it first as an investigative journalist.   
The plea deal being real doesn’t validate the alleged insider.

**The court record validates the plea deal.**  
Those are two VERY different things.  
But hey, never let a boring old public record get in the way of a dramatic **KENDRA’S INNER CIRCLE BLEW THE WHISTLE!** headline. 

So I guess the plea deal being public had no bearing?
