Long-time conservative legal kingmaker Leonard Leo says ProPublica stories on conservative justices are 'bait for reeling in more dark money from woke billionaires.'

in the Wall Street Journal, said ProPublica"misleads" its readers in the piece, because he did not even know the cases referenced were connected to singer and ethics rules at the time did not include funded travel and lodging as reportable"gifts."

LIBERALS, JOURNALISTS FUME OVER SAMUEL ALITO'S WSJ OP-ED REJECTING PROPUBLICA STORY: 'HIGHLY UNETHICAL' Leo continued to say that,"the only thing that has changed over all these years is that ProPublica and its large pool of liberal dark money donors are having a hard time accepting the fact that they are now losing cases because there aren’t enough Justices around anymore to disregard the law and affirm their policy preferences."

Leo pointed out that Justices Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor also have"regularly received a level of hospitality from friends and strangers that most Americans never experience, but, like their conservative colleagues, they don’t disregard the law because of outside influence."
