WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday released a report on the May 2022 leak of a draft version of its blockbuster ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion nationwide, but failed to identify who was behind the disclosure that rocked the nation's top judicial body.

The report, prepared by the Supreme Court marshal Gail Curley at the direction of Chief Justice John Roberts, did not identify a specific source of the leak.

"In time, continued investigation and analysis may produce additional leads that could identify the source of the disclosure," the report stated. "Whether or not any individual is ever identified as the source of the disclosure, the court should take action to create and implement better policies to govern the handling of court-sensitive information and determine the best IT systems for security and collaboration."

The leak investigation was conducted at a time of increased scrutiny of the court and concerns about an erosion of its legitimacy, with opinion polls showing dropping public confidence in the institution. Only 43% of Americans have a favorable view of the court, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Jan. 13-15, down from 50% last May.

After examining the court's computer devices, networks, printers and available call and text logs, investigators have found no forensic evidence indicating who disclosed the draft opinion, the report said.

"At this time, based on a preponderance of the evidence standard, it is not possible to determine the identity of any individual who may have disclosed the document or how the draft opinion ended up with Politico," the report stated.

Yes, and look how fast and efficiently the Feds identified the peaceably assembled U.S. citizens after their January 6 protest, condemned them as political prisoners, and shipped them off to the gulag.

Yet now the Federal Government and its agents are BAFFLED.

Anyone who doesn't recognize appalling corruption rampant in the US Federal Government is willfully blind.

NONE of the Justices were interviewed. Which means the investigators know it was one of the Justices but don't want to call him/her out.

Roberts is protecting a lefty member of the court, either a justice or an intern. Quite honestly, an idiot could stumble upon the identity.

They interviewed employees. Roberts was the leak IMHO.

Or the headline could have been, “Justice Thomas’ home raided early this morning by the FIB. Thomas’s wife in custody”

Investigators have found no forensic evidence.

Every investigator must be working for FIB now?.

Yup, this Court under Roberts is woke and worthless, and I’d even say a bit corrupt. It follows its leader.

How many people work in the ussc? How many have access to a decision before it was published? That specific decision? How hard is this? The person who did it should be in prison, fired, and no chance of practicing law.
