One investigation is focused on sniffing out the #journalist who leaked the #SCOTUS decision to end the constitutional right to #abortion in May of 2022...which has already been done + showed no crime related to the leak.

Is the true aim of this probe about confronting public corruption?

Likely not. It's about threatening journalists + constitutionally protected newsgathering activities.

We joined a press freedom coalition with Defending Rights + Dissent, Pen America and other advocates + experts in a letter to the FBI demanding answers.
