Nearly a Month After the Supreme Court Leak, Investigators Are Finally Asking for Clerks' Phone Records, and to Sign Affidavits
The signing of the affidavits is important because while the leak itself might not have been a crime, lying to a federal officer in an investigation is a crime.
Or, as we've just found out: May be a crime if you're a Republican. It's not a crime at all if you're a Democrat who's lying to advance the left wing's political agenda. Why is this "major escalation" only happening now? The guests Megyn Kelly had on to discuss this predicted that the leaker would be found quickly but only because they believed these elementary, basic steps of investigation would be undertaken in the first days of the investigation. And yet here we are, almost a calendar month later, and only now are they fixin' to start ponderin' a consideration of the beginning of the most basic possible investigatory steps they could take. Is this because Roberts told the Supreme Court Marshal to "keep it collegial" and not to be intrusive? Or did the Marshal just decide to go easy on the liberal clerks on her own? (I think it's a her.) Does Roberts really want to find the leaker, or is he really trying to help the leaker escape detection? In any event, clerks, plural, are considering lawyering up rather than cooperate with the "major escalation" in the probe (which is really just doing basic stuff that should have been done in the opening hours of the investigation).Supreme Court officials are escalating their search for the source of the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, taking steps to require law clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits, three sources with knowledge of the efforts have told CNN. Some clerks are apparently so alarmed over the moves, particularly the sudden requests for private cell data, that they have begun exploring whether to hire outside counsel. ... Chief Justice John Roberts met with law clerks as a group after the breach, CNN has learned, but it is not known whether any systematic individual interviews have occurred.It's an open question as to whether they even bothered to interrogate the clerks individually? Holy shit.
Lawyers outside the court who have become aware of the new inquiries related to cell phone details warn of potential intrusiveness on clerks' personal activities, irrespective of any disclosure to the news media, and say they may feel the need to obtain independent counsel. "That's what similarly situated individuals would do in virtually any other government investigation," said one appellate lawyer with experience in investigations and knowledge of the new demands on law clerks. "It would be hypocritical for the Supreme Court to prevent its own employees from taking advantage of that fundamental legal protection." Sources familiar with efforts underway say the exact language of the affidavits or the intended scope of that cell phone search -- content or time period covered -- is not yet clear.

I mean if the top law clerks in the country don't know better then to consult an attorney...
Sussman acquittal doesn't bother me either... I don't think lying to the FBI should be a real crime.
Doesn't mean I like a 2 tiered system, but getting a lawyer and not letting the FBI put some throw away crime on you because they can't prosecute a real crime doesn't upset me.
I admit to wanting a pound of flesh for what they've done to the country, but I don't expect I'll be getting it.

It'll be a general, unattributed lack of candor, no referrals for prosecution, and a recommendation for new training modules. Like it always is.
And that's a good thing. One more blatant assault on an institution goes unpunished, permanently eroding its overall (perceived) integrity.
The more these institutions chip away at themselves, the fewer people who still believe in them. They're finally achieving what should have happened forty years ago - a catastrophic loss of confidence in American federal government.

IMHO, the response should be that it is a condition of your employment that you provide the requested info. If you don't, well, I guess you're no longer a clerk for a SCOTUS justice. Unless this was a group effort, which isn't outside the realm of possibility, the people who had nothing to do with the leak don't want to lose that bulletpoint on their CV.
Posted by: Smokey the Bear at May 31, 2022 01:32 PM (ZsR3z)
Who released the information that said it was a clerk and do you trust *that* source?
-----------------
Or if a clerk, was that clerk asked to leak it? Regardless, a Court that was serious about finding the leaker (I don't think this Court is) would have asked for all of this on Day 1. And any clerk who resisted would have been let go immediately.

I think the way this happened is that some clerk or justice mentioned this horrible thing they read and that word got to the White House and then the NSA or some like agency lifted the document off the server.

I'm kind of confused by some of the comments. We've spent the last four years with the joke "two weeks" yet the rending of cloth around here about an aquital is kind of surprising to me.
Did anyone actually expect guilty verdicts for anything?
Sending someone to jail has never been in the realm of possibility, why are y'all getting worked up about it? You've known for years that only Republicans can commit crimes that result in jail time.
The point of Durham has always been exposure in a way that removes doubt of the corruption. And given what was admitted under oath, that is what happened.
This is about building public demand to reject the institutional corruption. It may have little chance of success, but it has a higher chance than prison for Democrats and deep state.
We as a nation have two paths we can go down. Totalitarian take over of the country by leftists/deep state or restoration through elections or revolution. The preferred path of the leftist, stealth absorption of government power, has now been taken away from them due to events and public exposure.

law clerks are being asked to sign affidavits for an explicit purpose: if they lie, they face charges of making false statements to a government official.

The prequels basically covered the Rise of Darth Vader and massive exposition. Easier to see where things went wrong with that perspective, but there were a lot of good scenes and characters in them. If Anakin was fixed and exposition was emphasized a bit less suddenly it's not a controversial departure.

People have been comfortable with formula in drama since Greek drama.
They like a certain predictability in story. It just evolves in its manifestations over time. The star system developed in Hollywood because stars produced specific types of movies that people knew. Fred Astaire is gonna be in a movie? Well, that's all I need to know because I know what a Fred Astaire movie is going to be.
Franchises are just another form of it.

Wasn't quite that disorganized. It's two different trilogies focused on Luke and Anakin respectively.

I think it's good too, but almost for a mirror___ reason of yours.
The point of Durham wasn't so much to expose corruption - that's been exposed for awhile. To most people (the ones with eyes and hears, to see and hear), Right or Left, it's a quotidian reality of American public life. To us - we all knew this was coming. Some like it and some don't; it's still a foregone conclusion.
But a significant portion of the Right is always hoping for #Steiner to come in #TwoWeeks. Always grasping at the next straw. It's the product of blind loyalty to various ruined institutions. They thought Durham would really come. And with every straw that gets pulled short, they get a step closer to taking the red pill.

Indeed. Both the Star Wars and Star Trek novels have told some really, really intriguing stories that would be difficult, if not impossible to translate to the big or small screens. When all you have to work with is the power of imagination, you can let it run wild. You can explore all aspects of the human condition through literature that are limited on the screen.

Doctor Who is to the UK what Star Trek is to the USA. They have HUGE cultural impacts on their respective nations. They were even conceived at roughly the same time (early to mid 1960s). The devastation deliberately wrought on both franchises is just mind-numbingly evil.

As a condition of employment for many jobs they can search your personal phones, and it's not just in government. The SEC just requested a bunch of traders personal cell phone records because they suspect they're getting around SEC rules using those devices . No proof, just supposition. And you know what? Companies like JP Morgan are compelling their traders to produce that information. Several traders are suing alleging it is a breach of their rights. My estimation, they have a pretty good case.

I said above (and would have added more words except for pixy) that it is marginal. It proves what we have known for years. But us knowing it isn't enough. Having it admitted to in court, regardless of verdict, does allow us to argue more effectively with people who try to call us conspiracy theorists.
This is just one minor example, but couple it with 2000 mules, (and I could list other examples but pressed for time) and it starts to shape public perception. Enough that you have solid majorities that are rejecting the narratives.
I see it in the polling. The public isn't buying what they are being sold. And if another election is stolen from them, they will know it. We are up to 55% believing 2020 was stolen.
What comes after that I don't know. But the public will know they have been lied to and fucked over.

Put the goal posts down. You must be exhausted with all that moving.
I was very clear all along that I thought Durham would run a thorough investigation, one that is still going on by the way, and bring charges where he found crimes. I was also clear that it was not his job to be jury and judge and that he couldn't control that. The evidence he found was overwhelming, he can't stop and OJ jury from acting corruptly.
You said Durham would do nothing. That was clearly wrong.
And As I said the investigation is still going on with Danchenko's case coming up in EDVA not DC this Fall and a good chance of more indictments.

The kicker is the economic crisis because that causes people to basically believe all the bad information coming out on other fronts.
Gas and diesel at 7-8 bucks per gallon is going to piss off a lot of people that do not ordinarily vote. Not finding baby formula--ditto. Soaring food inflation is even going to crimp the FSA because suddenly their foodstamp allotment does buy what it used to to even after the large bump up via the covid bill. And of course, it cannot buy what is not on the shelves.
The negative view of all this would be not that the Republicans are the stupid party and will find a way to lose but that they are in fact the controlled opposition party aka Washington Generals and WANT to lose.
