Posted April 6, 20232 yr Quote Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted secret luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for more than two decades in apparent violation of a financial disclosure law, a ProPublica report revealed Thursday. Thomas has vacationed on Crow’s 162-foot superyacht, flown on the real estate developer’s private jet and spent time at the GOP donor’s private resort and other exclusive retreats, ProPublica reported, citing documents and dozens of interviews. Thomas, the 74-year-old conservative associate justice who has served on the nation’s highest court since 1991, has not reported the trips on his financial disclosures as required by law, the nonprofit newsroom reported. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/06/clarence-thomas-took-gop-megadonor-harlan-crow-secret-luxury-trips-report.html\ No big deal huh
April 7, 20232 yr Los Angeles Times reported about Justice Thomas’ gifts 20 years ago. After that he stopped disclosing them https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-04-06/the-times-reported-about-justice-thomas-gifts-20-years-ago-after-he-just-stopped-disclosing-them Just a Supreme Court Justice taking HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of $$$$$$ and hushing it up. Thankfully, he is conservative, so we can be sure there is no crime here, like with Trump.
April 7, 20232 yr ""I prefer the R.V. parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it,” Justice Thomas said in a documentary about his life. "I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that.” "
April 7, 20232 yr Even better the documentary was paid for by the person that paid for his vacations.

This is very clearly a strong friendship that started way back when Thomas wasn't a Supreme Court justice. Just bros on a private jet. Come on TEW, of course it's ridiculous that he not only accepted this "hospitality" but didn't report it (which he's obligated to do). I'd imagine the party of law and order will be on top of this any moment now.......any moment.

I'd imagine the party of law and order will be on top of this any moment now.......any moment. Yes, it is very clearly a strong friendship that has lasted over 25 years. People are allowed to have friends Paul — even successful ones. I know the concept of making genuine friends is foreign to you people, but normal people continue to make friends throughout their life. And no, he’s not "obligated” to report trips with friends, genius. That’s the point. He has absolutely zero obligation to report on his private life to the American public. Thomas never presided over a case that involved his friend. Harlan Crow being a GOP donor is irrelevant, as Thomas is not up for office. This is just another racist hit piece by sh**libs to try to gain power. No one’s buying it.
April 9, 20232 yr Can someone explain the racist angle here? I have seen it used twice now. Are we implying that if Kavanaugh had received luxury trips from a billionaire "friend" as a Supreme Court justice for two decades without disclosing these gifts that liberals wouldn't be attacking him?

Been a long running theme with sh**libs who see one of their perceived property off their plantation.
