One of the Supreme Court's longtime reporters said the "leading theory" is that a conservative clerk leaked the majority draft opinion indicating the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Nina Totenberg, a legal affairs correspondent for NPR, said the only theory that makes sense is that the leak came from someone who "was afraid that this majority might not hold."
"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," Totenberg said during an appearance Sunday on ABC's This Week.
Totenberg also dismissed speculation that the leak originated from the liberal side.
"There's another theory that it was an outraged liberal clerk, but I think the only one that makes sense is that it came from somebody who was afraid this majority might not hold — that Chief Justice Roberts might persuade one of the conservatives to come over to him," Totenberg added.

Fake News
Theory?
Tote Bag is following the Science?
Would NPR lie?
Seems the Left has figured out this betrayal won't help them.
Now they're hoping that blaming Conservatives will bail them out....
"Leading theory" indeed.....
Nina Totenberg gives evil spiteful crones a bad name.
Told ya, they would leak it and blame it on a conservative judge to get them off the court.
they pay dirty and for keeps
The leading theory in the basement of the DNC maybe but not in the real world.
Tokenberg is still hitting the whacky weed. ZERO credibility, just like everything to do with government radio. She works for the propaganda arm of the DNC, funded by our tax dollars. Just another leftist P O S.
*play
Remind me again, is this the Nina who said she would be honored to give Bill Clinton the full Lewinsky for making abortion legal and widely available, or was it a different Nina?
Held together by duck tape and baling wire.
She’s still around and nothing has changed-her “leading theory” is ridiculous and defies logic...
Every time we get fed this LEFTist view on the taxpayer subsidized NPR/PBS/CPB, I get nauseous! At the very least, DEFUND their REDUNDANT ‘news’ organizations! There is not a hairs difference between them and the rest of the alphabet nets, especially as they publish their DNC memos of the day!
As for “Leading Theory”? PROJECTION!
“Totenberg also dismissed speculation that the leak originated from the liberal side.”
Nina confirms that a left winger leaked the decision. Whatever she says, the opposite is true.
Don’t ask me for details, but I’m pretty sure that this was all “Russian collusion”.
She helped Bork Clarence Thomas, colluding with Anita Hill.
A worthless stinking liberal
