One of the Supreme Court's longtime reporters said the "leading theory" is that a conservative clerk leaked the majority draft opinion indicating the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Nina Totenberg, a legal affairs correspondent for NPR, said the only theory that makes sense is that the leak came from someone who "was afraid that this majority might not hold."
"The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion," Totenberg said during an appearance Sunday on ABC's This Week.
Totenberg also dismissed speculation that the leak originated from the liberal side.
"There's another theory that it was an outraged liberal clerk, but I think the only one that makes sense is that it came from somebody who was afraid this majority might not hold — that Chief Justice Roberts might persuade one of the conservatives to come over to him," Totenberg added.

Yeah that theory comes right out of Occams Razor…
Everything the liberal rats do defies logic…everything…
Sulphurous emissions from the Mountain of the Dead.
okay..so which conservative clerk is married to a reporter who used to work for Politico and has had a byline with that reporter who obtained the leak...
I will wait while Nina finds that info
Nina Totteringberg is still alive?
why??? all this does, is screw up the election, that’s pure RAT...
Considering the intensity of the outrage, the leaker was more likely liberal.
She is 78
Totebag is a retarded idiot. Always has been. Besides, I thought she was dead. She must be really old.

I guess my joke about one of their last names fell flat.
Even though a liberal one did (doesn’t matter, blame conservatives).
