Neither the Solicitor General’s press office nor the White House legal counsel responded to requests for comment. However, a source inside the building told us the mood is “defensive” and that an internal “glitch” is being blamed for the leak.
Bottom line: If the law is a mirror, this memo shows it’s been cracked—and angled to let the powerful see only
