Sometimes it takes a leak so that the American public knows what is going on with the President and his administration.

Did you feel the same way with the last administration? Holder held in contempt of Congress, Lerner, IRS.....

So when the Marshalls come with a warrant for the President and he orders the Marines to resist
What do you do.

My guess would be that Donald F. McGahn leaked the info. Rather than potentially going down in flames with other members of the administration, McGahn leaked that he actually intervened to stop Trump from firing Mueller. Just my speculation, but I think that's what happened.

I've heard that it became known in the course of various interviews by various Congrints and SC. How the NYT got it remains unclear but your theory is believable. I haven't heard of any verified leaking by Mueller team. He knows they are dancing on a razor's edge. The Strozk-Page thing came out of the DOJ IG, including getting rid of Strozk.
