livefree_ordie, Not all mysteries are solvable. Re 1. -- 3 years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a major mystery is still unsolved Politics Jan 5, 2024 12:26 PM EDT [...] One of the biggest remaining mysteries surrounding the riot is the identity of the person who placed two pipe bombs outside the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees the day before the Capitol attack. Last year, authorities increased the reward to up to $500,000 for information leading to the person’s arrest. It remains unclear whether there was a connection between the pipe bombs and the riot. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/3-years-after-the-jan-6-capitol-riot-a-major-mystery-is-still-unsolved
"Three simple questions FBI/DOJ can you answer enough time has now passed to allow you to grow a narrative for these three things. 1. Who planted the bombs on Jan.6th? 2. Who released the Dobbs Memo at the Supreme Court? 3. Who placed the cocaine in the White House? All solvable and more than likely known but they do not want you or me to know the answers. Otherwise they are useless entities.
Re 2. -- Supreme Court investigators fail to identify who leaked Dobbs opinion By Amy Howe on Jan 19, 2023 at 4:25 pm

The Supreme Court has not been able to determine who leaked a draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the court said on Thursday. [...] Thursday’s statement revealed that Curley and her team interviewed “almost 100 employees” – 82 of whom had access to the draft opinion. Despite those efforts, the “team to date has been unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence,” the court said. The investigators will continue to follow up on a few outstanding leads, the statement added.
The court also revealed that it consulted with Michael Chertoff, a former judge who served as the head of the Department of Homeland Security during the George W. Bush administration. Chertoff, the court said, was unable to identify anything that Curley and her team should have done as part of their investigation.
A 20-page report from Curley accompanied the court’s statement. Although investigators were unable to determine how the draft was provided to Politico, Curley wrote, they ruled out as “unlikely” the possibility that someone from outside the court had hacked into the court’s computer systems. And, Curley acknowledged, the COVID-19 pandemic “and resulting expansion of the ability to work from home, as well as gaps in the Court’s security policies, created an environment where it was too easy to remove sensitive information from the building and the Court’s IT networks, increasing the risk of both deliberate and accidental disclosures of Court-sensitive information.”
Curley’s report made a series of recommendations to improve confidentiality of documents at the court. She urged the justices to restrict access to sensitive documents and limit the number of hard copies in circulation. She also suggested that the court adopt a “universal policy” on “the mechanics of handling and safeguarding draft opinions and Court-sensitive documents” and put a system in place to track the printing and copying of such documents.
Curley reported that her investigation “focused on Court personnel – temporary (law clerks) and permanent employees – who had or may have had access to the draft opinion.” Curley did not indicate whether the report’s references to “employees” and “personnel” included the justices themselves.
In December, The New York Times reported on allegations of a 2014 breach of confidentiality at the court. Rob Schenck, who once played a leading role in the anti-abortion movement, said he learned the outcome of the court’s decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, involving religious rights and birth control for employees, several weeks before it was released. Schenck said that major donors to his non-profit relayed the news to him after dining with Alito and his wife. Alito denied Schenck’s allegations.
