En

In any case in which the subject matter becomes public, through the citizen complainant, through independent sources, through a waiver of confidentiality by the judge against whom the complaint has been filed, or under other circumstances as the commission considers appropriate, the commission may issue statements as it considers appropriate in order to:

(1) confirm the pendency of the investigation;

(2) clarify the procedural aspects of the disciplinary proceedings;

(3) explain the right of the judge to a fair hearing without prejudgment;

(4) state that the judge denies the allegations; or

(5) declare that there is insufficient evidence for a finding of good cause.
