There is a growing perception of discord and distrust in our institutions and governmental bodies, as evidenced by the ongoing investigation into the leak of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision. Despite intense efforts to identify the leaker, many believe that the investigation is being covered up, and that those in power know who it is but are choosing not to disclose the information. This situation has fueled further distrust and suspicion, particularly when compared to past instances where similar leaks have resulted in swift and severe consequences. The lack of transparency and accountability in this situation has only added to the sense of unease and dissatisfaction with our current political climate. Furthermore, the contrasting treatment of high-profile figures, such as Donald Trump's repeated appearance on the Epstein client list, highlights the selective application of justice and the need for greater transparency and impartiality in our institutions.
