Oh, say it ain’t so. Uncle Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni, have been on the take and accepting illegal gifts from a GOP megadonor.
Politics :
Yes, Supreme Court Justice ‘Uncle’ Clarence Thomas has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. A new report says the Thomases were offered and accepted several luxury vacations (including flights and high-end lodging) from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow. However, the worst part of the news is that not only did Uncle Clarence Thomas accept the gifts, but he failed to disclose them in his public financial filings with the Supreme Court.
Awww.
According to the report from ProPublica, Thomas accepted lavish trips to Indonesia, New Zealand, and more from Crow. Some of the trips reportedly included travel on Crow’s super yacht and stays at properties owned by Crow and/or his company. ProPublica also identified what appear to be several trips taken by Thomas on Crow’s private jet that also went undisclosed on his public ethics filings.
In a statement, Crow noted that he’s been friends with Thomas and his wife for more than 30 years — and that the hospitality he extended was “no different from the hospitality we have extended to our many other dear friends.”
“Justice Thomas and Ginni never asked for any of this hospitality,” Crow said. He added that he “never asked about a pending or lower court case, and Justice Thomas has never discussed one.”
“I am unaware of any of our friends ever lobbying or seeking to influence Justice Thomas on any case, and I would never invite anyone who I believe had any intention of doing that. These are gatherings of friends,” Crow concluded.
So, what’s wrong with the picture?
Harlan Crow is a Dallas businessman with deep connections to Republican politics and has contributed more than $10 million in publicly disclosed political contributions to the GOP.
Uncle Clarence Thomas is a sitting US Supreme Court Justice who is accepting gifts from a known political donor — but somehow not reporting said gifts to the court as required.
Can someone spell S-C-A-N-D-A-L?
OK WASSUP! discusses Politics:
Has Uncle Clarence Thomas been on the take?
This lying, corrupt and dangerous azz man should be taken down and investigated as quickly as possible! There’s no doubt in my mind that he and his lying, corrupt and dangerous azz wife are guilty of having committed some crime.
Btw, I also heard it reported that Harlan Crow is also heavily into collecting Nazi memorabilia. Clarence the Black clown would probably claim he had no prior knowledge of that fact. And he would be lying!
