DOJ opens criminal probe into Supreme Court abortion leak
BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is pursuing a criminal investigation into who leaked the Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning the right to abortion. Trump ally Jeanine Pirro is leading the probe.
Matthew84We all know it was Alito. Creating a pretense for him to resign so they can replace him before the new congress is sat?
Joe Katz49Ginny Thomas just broke out into a sweat
Elliott Lusztig35They will learn NOTHING from the beating they took Tuesday.
scoootchover18Oh no! You mean overturning the right to an abortion was meant to be kept a secret? The DOJ is showing off their corruption. Popcorn please.
putawomanincharge.bsky.social17Oh, that ought to go well. Lol
Chad Levinson8Sheesh, this is like when a network serial drama would air a random fan-favorite re-run right after a mid-season story arc ended
Ken Tremendous173What happens when they find out it was Alito? Maybe this is how we get rid of him!

Constantine10This is a transparent attempt to get Alito to retire in the lame duck.

I'm struggling to see why the Supreme Court, at this moment in time, would be excited to establish the precedent that DOJ can investigate the Court www.nytimes.com/2026/11/05/u...
Gavin Werbeloff2While it was a glaring violation of custom and a betrayal of trust, it was clear from the beginning that no law was broken, and any attempt to treat it like a national security leak risked all sorts of separation of powers problems.
Alex Merz 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦2Have you considered the possibility that these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand?
Wuzzy 🟧1Doesn't this get all hinckey with the whole separation of powers thing?
Justice Department pursuing a criminal investigation into who leaked the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning the right to abortion, examining the inner workings of an institution that has long operated in secrecy. @jodikantor.bsky.social Mike Schmidt www.nytimes.com/2026/11/05/u...
cutmeslack.bsky.social2Of course that’s their top concern for an investigation, not all the grifting they do for trips and gifts.
Have the grand jury start here: Sam Alito Clarence Thomas Ginni Thomas Brett Kavanaugh
Ravenna2So happy my tax dollars are being spent on stupidness
wyodave.bsky.social2Is this how they plan to get Alito to retire?
smellytoe1Good ole DOJ, laser focused on this!?
NYT is reporting that the Trump/Blanche/Pirro DOJ is issuing subpoenas and going full throttle on a criminal investigation on the 2022 Dobbs leak at SCOTUS. I'm quoted in the article saying that the investigation violates separation of powers absent a real crime.
Meanwhile, there are a few candidate crimes, but I agree with the 2022 Congressional Research Service report that none of them really fits.
Noah Dahl1They think it's Alito too. And they're desperately trying to oust him while they have a window to confirm a replacement. That's my 🔥 take
