Or, the leaker was the spouse of a Supreme Court justice, who leaked the draft to the WSJ opinion page -- and someone with a conscience at the WSJ opinion page leaked the document to Politico, rather than allowing the WSJ opinion page to drip, drip, drip the substance of the draft in an attempt to keep the five Justices who were currently signed on to ending abortion rights on the opinion.

Halfway through reading this post, I started wondering when we might expect your next book! (Also, para 11 is quite the interesting thought…authentication through experts *with* the NDA. Love that!) As for the rest of your theory, based on this new CNN reporting, I think you’re right. I think The Leaker knew exactly how to leak. (But I also still think a certain judicial spouse is a possibility bc of her penchant, it seems, for stirring up trouble…)

If the leaker were a Justice, in your view would this be an impeachable offense?

Politico is not ideological? Their basically a house organ for the Democratic Party.
