Clarence Thomas was ‘key’ to a plan to delay certification of 2020 election, Trump lawyers said in emails

A lawyer for former President Donald Trump described Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “key” to Trump’s plan to delay Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory through litigation after the 2020 election, according to emails recently turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6.

“We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue” a temporary order putting Georgia’s results in doubt, Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a December 31, 2020, email, adding that a favorable order from Thomas was their “only chance” to hold up Congress from counting electoral votes for Biden from Georgia.

John Eastman, another attorney for Trump, responded to that email saying he agreed with the plan.

The corruption of SCOTUS is a turning point for the US.  Get somebody to clean out the stables, Joe!

Trump had good reason to rely on the supreme court to protect him. They are corrupt to the core. Any confidence that Americans have in their highest judicial institution should now be dispelled.

 

Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury trips from GOP donor every year without once disclosing them

 

If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.

 

The extent and frequency of Crow’s apparent gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court.

At the very least he should be forced to recuse on any opinion and judgment concerning j6 trump or anything related to it hopefully soon when the Congress is back in responsible hands this can be investigated properly and delt with in the appropriate manner

Thomas has a long and sleazy history of accepting gifts.

 

Thomas ranks supreme among court’s gift takers

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts since joining the Supreme Court, from $1,200 worth of tires to valuable historical items and a $5,000 personal check to help pay a relative’s education expenses.

The gifts included a Bible once owned by 19th-century author and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass, which Thomas valued at $19,000, and a bust of President Lincoln valued at $15,000.
