I Leaked It!
Sonatine9728 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
With the military space shuttle leak out of the hands of White House Council, nearly everyone in the West Wing bar the president himself have been subpoenaed to give testimony in front of a hostile Senate Committee, including Leo, who is trying to establish himself as a strong running mate to Santos.

CJ and Toby are also subpoenaed, and with the Indians circling the wagons, the Santos campaign could be seriously derailed if Leo comes under intense scrutiny.

And then we have the massive bombshell!

While making light of the committee hearings, Toby quickly realises that if Leo is called and Santos subsequently loses at the election, then Vinick will be the next president of the United States. So he meets with CJ in her office and confesses he was the leaker!

I know sometimes Toby can drive me up the wall with his attitude problems, but here he is the personification of calm, collected and controlled throughout the episode. The fact that he concealed the leak from everyone through his calm demeanour is testimony to Richard Schiff's portrayal of the Toby Character.

The other story of note is back with the campaigns, with by Santos and Vinick challenged on their views on Creationism, Evolution and intelligent Design. A nicely handled issue agenda, but I am now keen for the election to start in earnest.

A good episode, ramped up by the Toby Bomb!
