The lack of results from the Marshal’s investigation buttresses my personal belief that a Justice in the majority leaked the Dobbs draft or directed it be leaked.

“The report says they spoke to 97 court employees. But it is worth noting that it appears the investigators didn't actually question the Supreme Court Justices themselves.” pic.twitter.com/KY9EfAiDpZ
