Why did everyone think it came from Mueller's office and not SDNY ?

When I heard that the sources were two LEO's, I immediat3ely thought of New York...because that is where Cohen has been charged and investigated up to this point?

It's very possible that the leak did not come from Mueller.

It's also possible that Giuliani set it up. He has "friends" in the Southern District.

Something smells fishy...
