NPR reporter Nina Totenberg said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that she believed that a conservative law clerk was the likeliest suspect for the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority decision overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
Totenberg said, “It’s viewed it’s an earthquake, and I think within the court itself it’s an earthquake. There has never been a leak like this. There have been minor, little springs that have emerged from the court, reports of a tentative vote or misbehavior by one justice back in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s. There were those kinds of leaks but never an entire draft of a majority opinion. That has never, ever occurred before. And it can only, in all likelihood, have come from a justice, I think that is less likely, perhaps one of the clerks. The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion.”

........Nina Totenberg.........
Are those feminazi commentators on NPR from the 1970s still around, and spewing new versions of the same old garbage? Aw phooey!!!!
It certainly is possible. But the important question - Qui bono?
LOL these demented idiots really are that stupid..if the leaker were Conservative the commie media and sh*thole Schiff would be calling the leaker before congress, instead they say “It doesnt matter who leaked it it matters whats in the leak” which tells me everything I need to know. The leaker was a pinked hair commie freak who notified the WH and certain commie members of Congress beforehand
Yep, professionally made signs and coordination in less than 24 hours.
The only theory that really makes sense is that Nina Totenberg is a nut.
Nina has now jumped the shark
Schiff would be screaming that the leak was a “crime against Democracy” and “insurrection against the government” if it was a conservative.
He (and the rest of the Democrats) would be holding press conferences demanding new legislation against right wing extremists leaking confidential government documents.
This is too easy to figure out....
Ohhh Nina Deathmountain where is thy sting?
Standard Demonrat libtard response, reality as I would like it.
It was the Supreme Court that leaked. This was purposeful to further fracture society. Put all justices and staff in jail until this is explained.
The key concept here is that SCOTUS changed its DECISION not the LAW. This isn’t the first time either, for example SCOTUS has reversed itself on:
Marbury v. Madison (1803) ...
Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) ...
Brown v. Board of Education (1954) ...
Mapp v. Ohio (1961) ...
Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) ...
Miranda v. Arizona (1966) ...
Roe v. Wade (1973) ...
She has been a nut for a long, long time.
IIRC, didn’t she go on some hate-filled tirade about Clarence Thomas back when he was nominated for SCOTUS?
This was a long time ago so I may not have this completely correct.
Since law enforcement, in DC, hasn’t named the leaker; odds say leaker is leftist
There are 7 billion people on the planet. Why does Nina Totenberg’s tin foil hat speculation that makes no sense other than a partisan looking to bail out the liberal clerk who really leaked it get published over the other 7 billion people?
This seems like gaslighting. However it’s possible that she’s passing on a message. If “conservative” Chief Justice Roberts was the leak then this may be a warning to him that they can’t and will out him if he doesn’t do their bidding on this ASAP. Then he gets replaced by some communist nut job so it’s a win-win for the Dems.
Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert. Defund NPR, Defund PBS.
“The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion.”
That might be the favored leftist cover story, but it makes no sense. Why would a media/Democrat firestorm over reversal of Roe push “conservative” justices towards reversal, thus attracting hatred and death threats to themselves? Totenberg is too smart to believe what she is spewing. This was a Democrat dirty trick to inject abortion into the midterm elections. A Democrat did it, period.
I’m thinking it was Sotomayor or one of her clerks who did it at her direction and is willing to fall on their sword for her.
Brilliant. That “without evidence” phrase has become a favorite of the other side, and we should start using it on them regularly, since it’s so often true
FBI is all over it. The sent 15 agents to a NASCAR track just to investigate a garage door pull.
