That could all happen, yet it wouldn't get leaked. It would be a part of an investigation to build a case. They would never tip off Flynn, the ambassador, Trump, the public, or anybody by leaking it. The fact that this was a leak against Flynn confirms that this is a political hunt against Flynn at the least and probably ultimately against Trump. If this was an intel investigation, the information never gets leaked.
