Regarding verbs and prepositions
I have three questions and three sentences please answer all of them or
any if you know the answers.
1.) Sentence: "I think the motivated leaks
done by the ruling party with/through the help of its
stooges in the channels, specially in English media to divert attention from other issues"
My question: Which preposition, with or through, would be
right to use in the sentence one ?
2.) "This whole allegation trading and
controversy will/would come to a halt when he would be sacked"
My question: Which verb, will or would, would be correct to use
in the sentence ? Also tell which preposition, a or no preposition, would
be correct to use in the sentence two ?
3.) Sentence: "I'm ready to wager when
the investigation reports will/would come
there would be no incriminating proof against him"
My question: Has the word when been used correctly in the
sentence ? And which verb, will or would, be correct to use in the
sentence three ?
Thanks for reading and answering long list of questions

1. "with" seems to fit best, but there are several other problems with this sentence. If I've understood it correctly, you could say:
"I think the leaks put out by the ruling party with the help of its media stooges, especially those in the English media, are motivated by a desire to divert attention from other issues."

Thanks a ton for answering all the questions and correcting my sentence. I was waiting for the answer eagerly.

Regarding me calling an article the preposition again I guess it has been happening because there are too many things in my head w
