Unlikely, but not impossible.

Possible but it seems much more likely this orchestrated leak came from the Democrats who were eager to pounce on the news.

Never forget that the NSA can spoof cyber attacks from Russia, China, North Korea, Iran etc with ease.

The Deep State can plant a false flag any time they wish.

What if it came from John Roberts? Did I mention he is in charge of the investigation? Crazy, right?

Why did Democrats want to pounce now? The verdict was going to be announced in a bit anyway and why is it good for November to reveal it a month earlier?

Yup—This was like putting Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission.

You gotta know Roberts is gonna go the “lone nut” route.

Robert’s is the number one suspect.

The simplest solution is the most likely. And the simple solution here is that some clerk, probably female, probably liberal, saw the draft and said “holy crap” then leaked it.

Sorry, is it impossible? No, but as much as this guy tries to pretend the leak “serves no purpose” for the left is absolute nonsense.

Try to intimidate and change votes..

Distract from 2000 mules..

Rule up the leftist base…

And countless other very real reasons… as much as he tries to say a leak would not put pressure on changing votes that’s a lie.

One thing to have Roberts trying to get you to change… another when there is an angry mob outside your house threatening your family and children.

This opinion holds about as much water as a sieve…

But there is another entity that may want to burn down the Supreme Court, and tear apart the American people: a foreign government.

The Biden Administration, a large amount of leftists, and the Democrat party all want to destroy the Supreme Court as an institution.

A significant number of the US ruling class want the United States divided and weakened. Many are cooperating with China and Russia.

Somewhere - can’t remember, I read that Josh Gerstein has a friend, also working for Politico, who is married to someone on Justice Breyer’s staff, and this person thought the leak came from her. I wish I could remember more.

“As always follow the money and see who benefits”

The hard left is idealogically driven and they get their zest and zeal from moments like this.

They apparently have the WH and SC monitored.
