It is highly unlikely that these people were journalists, as it is pretty simple to identify an alumnus who is also a donor.
What is troubling is that the school partially complied with the alumni, in that they went on a pretty through search and found Trump's academic records. And then - instead of handing them over - hid them. I'm unaware of similar steps being taken to secure Mr. Obama's transcripts (but we have reason to believe that Obama had VERY good grades).
This story, coming on the heels of Mr. Cohen's rather lackluster testimony in which he claims to have been directed to threaten people if they released Trump's records, has a ring of truth about it.

People claiming to be alumni donors. They weren't. If you believe that they really were Trump's buddies, I have a really good deal for you on a bridge.
The school had to go looking for Trump's records and secure them. It is a violation of federal law for an employee to leak them. The administration knew that the calls for Trump's records were pretexts. When you know that someone is trying to gain access to a former student's records, you have to take steps to secure them.
During George W's presidency, someone with access to his school records leaked them. That's pretty much where this sort of ugliness started.
How do you know they weren't alumni donors? Seriously, do you know the names or backgrounds of the people involved, or is this just supposition on your part?
