Who Leaked the Dobbs Draft about four months ago?

This is a very good question! I guess, the FBI is too busy to raid the home of a former president with 30+ agents!

As far as I remember, the Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court was tasked by the Chief Justice immediately after the leak to find the leaker. I don't think, we have heard anything since then.

"... The Court simply can't function if Justices can't trust their colleagues to maintain confidentiality or police their clerks. "When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I'm in, it changes the institution fundamentally," explained Justice Clarence Thomas back in May. "You begin to look over your shoulder. It's like kind of an infidelity, that you can explain it, but you can't undo it." ...
At base, the leaker must be found to avoid setting the precedent that decision drafts can be leaked with impunity. Such a precedent would threaten confidence in the Court at a time when public approval is relatively low ..."
