For days they were yelling that the leaker should be found and prosecuted, although they were hard put to say what law was broken. Some even claimed that the leak was as harmful to the country as Jan 6th!
But for the past four days or so I haven't heard much from them about the leak at all and nothing about prosecution. Maybe I've missed it, but others have notice the same.
After hearing speculation by the left, did they realize the leaker could just as well be be an anti-abortion clerk or justice as someone who was a pro-choice?
Did they realize that one of their own tended to act impulsively and break norms more than any of the liberal judges and clerks.
Did they hear whispers that the FBI was looking closely at this person in connection to the leaks?
If so, who would that be? Ginni Thomas???

(19,359 posts)Maybe their handlers decided the less said about the who matter is the best policy. I think the RNC has come up with something like this as well so that their members don't lose in he mid-terms.
So this may be the reason.
But the suddenness of their silence after days of screaming for someone's head seems to hint at something more than simply that.

(12,262 posts)most Americans don't give rat arse about the fucked leak, but what they care about is women losing their rights. Corporate media has taper downed the coverage as well.

(19,359 posts)At first blush it seemed to be a pro-choice person but then they thought about it.
Then the info. about Ginni Thomas's messages to Mark Meadows concerning Jan. 6th came out, and this got them thinking.
The pieces began falling into place and like the great reporters they are, they turned to other stories.

(19,359 posts)If not specific polls (which they imply is near 50/50 when they're on screen), then their becoming aware of the public's mood and listening to the RNC.
But, damn, they were so hot on it! Breathing fire, spewing hot lava, etc.
I think they realized it could well have been opne of their own.
Clarence could have back channeled Fox to shut up about it. Then Fox realized this probably meant Ginni and/or Clarence, so their "reporters" and commentators were told to swallow their fire.
Somebody probably had to level with Tucker who likely would have gone on. And that, again, suggests Giuni and/or Clarence himself.
