The Supreme Court did not disclose its longstanding financial ties with former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff even as it touted him as an expert who independently validated its investigation into who leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
...
The estimated payments to Chertoff’s risk assessment firm, for consultations that extended over several months and involved a review of the justices’ homes, reached at least $1 million. The exact amount of money paid could not be determined. Supreme Court contracts are not covered by federal public disclosure rules and elude tracking on public databases.
...
The court’s decision to keep secret the prior arrangements with Chertoff, whose professional path has intersected over the years with Chief Justice John Roberts and other court conservatives, as it used him for a seal of approval, adds to controversy over the leak investigation itself.
Just a bunch of good ole boys, handing out fat contracts to their friends, because they can and because they're not accountable to anyone.
If it looks rotten and smells rotten, it probably is rotten.
Took you awhile to find that. I liked your John Roberts leaker prediction. The question timed out at Hypermind, I had shekel on that roulette number and on the popular suspect.

I wasn't expecting the leaker to be found. That Deep State book I talked about many moons ago stated how a John Roberts court would be predictable.
I’ve had other things going on in my life the last few days.
ReplyDeleteNo worries - I'm getting a turn in the barrel of life these next couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteThere's an ethics claim against Roberts' wife, also.

Illegitimate. An ideologically stacked unelected panel of actively partisan Opus Dei ~ Catholic Illuminati ~ vigilantes handing down edicts and fatwas in the dark is illegitimate, unconstitutional, and contrary to The Founders’ Intent.
ReplyDeleteThere is no “law”, nothing "compels" us to "obey".
The Y2K nuts had it right, they just didn’t quite get their grubby little fingers wrapped all the way around it. History, if there is a history, historians, if there are historians, will mark the appointment by a Gestapo Court of unelected religious nutballs of the scion of Hitler financing, old school Robber Baron money with limited intellect, less education and no experience to the highest office in the land as the “End of America.” We’re here on momentum, and that's running out.
