WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday announced that it has been unable to identify the person who leaked an unpublished draft of an opinion indicating the court was poised to roll back abortion rights.
In an unsigned statement, the court said that all leads had been followed up and forensic analysis performed, but "the team has to date been unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence."
But the attached report suggested the court was not watertight, with some employees admitting they had talked to spouses about the draft opinion and how the justices had voted.
Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley, who is in charge of the investigation, said that 97 court employees were interviewed and all denied being the leaker. She said it was unlikely the court's information technology systems were compromised.
The report made no mention of whether the nine justices were questioned.
"No one confessed to publicly disclosing the document and none of the available forensic and other evidence provided a basis for identifying any individual as the source of the document," Curley wrote.
"If a court employee disclosed the draft opinion, that person brazenly violated a system that was built fundamentally on trust with limited safeguards to regulate and constrain access to very sensitive information," she added.
The court also consulted Michael Chertoff, who served as Homeland Security secretary during the administration of President George W. Bush. Chertoff wrote in a separate statement that he had recommended several measures the court could take to improve security, including restrictions on the circulation of hard copies of sensitive documents.
Chertoff said he had reviewed the investigation and concluded that it was conducted thoroughly.
"At this time, I cannot identify any additional useful investigative measures," he added.

How many of you believe this?
I suspect that internally it is known who leaked the documents.
I further suspect that the powers that be, perhaps John Roberts himself, decided that they should not make the results of any investigation public.
We may find out decades from now who it was, similar to how we learned decades after Watergate , who the deep throat character was.
The National Archives seems to now exist to hide all the evidence of corruption till everyone is long dead and gone.
They asked nicely and everyone denied it.
I’ll give you a hint his first name starts with a J and finishes off with an R.
I’m sure they tried their hardest. Said the Easter Bunny.
I don't. Now it's my turn. How many of you believe the Biden family trading influence in exchange for millions was all on the up and up and totally legal.
There’s a shock.
It was probably Sotomayor or Kagin. Of those two, most likely the Wise Latina because she is the dumbest and least ethical one (but that’s not saying much).
Unwilling is more correct.
“A polygraph should have been utilized in this investigation.”
That was my first thought.
wise latina
What were the results of the polygraphs? No, wait, you didn’t do them? /s /s /s

Looks to me like you DID find who
A bunch of who’s .

SMDH.
It will come out eventually. It always does.
BS
NO surprise there! I mean, I think EVERYONE knew this would be the conclusion.
I said from the beginning that, no culprit would be caught, and that there would be no culprit to catch.
There is no culprit because the leak was intentional. It was done to get the heat and anger out of the people that would be most angered and affected. The leak occurred weeks before the official announcement, giving people enough time to vent and hopefully get it out of their system.
That didn’t work, but, the leak had occurred and the people most affected still protested and threatened and used the decision to try to win votes. They many have succeeded enough to anger enough people to make a difference in the congressional votes last year. But, the decision sticks and the anger still remains.
In any case, it was a deliberate leak by some in the supreme court who knew that democrats and the abortion lobby would not take the decision laying down.
Now, the supreme court investigation led nowhere and no leader, just as I predicted. And, there will never be a ‘leaker’ found, because, the leader was under the direction of the supreme court itself.
Full release of JFK files will be released 50 years after LBJ or all other conspirators died?
Maybe a sternly worded letter would’ve forced them to spill the beans. It usually works. (Not.)
