FBI Opening Inquiry Into Leak of Supreme Court’s Dobbs Decision

Word is Justice Roberts was in the know which is why the SCOTUS ‘investigation’ went nowhere fast.

Sheldon Snook is suspected of leaking the draft while serving as counsel to Chief Justice John Roberts.

The leak was corrosive to the integrity of the court—and put at risk the lives of the justices. If Justices were involved, they must resign.

The draft of the abortion decision overturning 1973’s Roe v. Wade. Washington Post: The FBI is funneling more resources into investigating high-profile matters that drew intense public attention in recent years, including the 2022 leak of the draft of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the bureau’s No. 2 official said Monday. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote in a post on social media that he and FBI Director Kash Patel had “evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest” and decided to give them more investigative attention (Washington Post).

The leak was corrosive to the integrity of the court—and put at risk the lives of the justices: Five weeks after the Dobbs leak, a man flew from California to D.C. with the intention of going on a killing spree. His target: Supreme Court justices. Nicholas Roske went to Kavanaugh’s house first, in Montgomery County, Maryland. He was armed with a pistol and equipped with gear to break into the justice’s house undetected. Roske confirmed that he intended to kill at least three justices and specifically cited the leaked Dobbs opinion as his inspiration. Notably, the Chief Justice had been courting Kavanaugh as a potential ally in defecting from the majority and joining him in his own opinion, which would have effectively split the Supreme Court and preserved Roe and Casey. Thanks to the increased presence of U.S. Marshals deputies providing security for Kavanaugh and the other justices, Roske turned himself in to police. He is slated to be sentenced in October of this year. Immediately following the leak, Roberts ordered Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley to conduct an investigation determining who leaked the draft opinion and how. Nearly nine months later, in late January of 2023, Curley and the Supreme Court admitted that the investigation had been unsuccessful (Washington Stand).
