Clarence Thomas LIED About Ruling On Cases Involving His Billionaire Best Friend

It appears that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas lied when he said that his good friend Harlan Crow didn't have any business before the Court while he was accepting his gifts. It turns out that Thomas actually did rule in favor of a company owned by Crow, though there is no official code of ethics to punish Thomas. Meanwhile, new reports have revealed that Justice Neil Gorsuch sold property to a law partner with frequent business before the Court and never reported it. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins unloads the latest evidence of corruption against the Court.

Apparently, uh, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is becoming the new George Santos, because now we can't go go more than like two or three days without getting a new story of how corrupt Clarence Thomas is. And this latest one is actually quite a doozy because when the initial stories of Clarence Thomas accepting these gifts from Harlan Crow came out and Oh yeah, I didn't disclose them for 20 years, he was like, it's okay because Harlan Crow has not had any business in front of my Supreme Court. So I haven't violated any rules. There was no conflict of interest. I just didn't report what he gave me, you know, because the LA Times me off back in the early two thousands because they reported on the gifts I was receiving. So I just stopped reporting them. But there was no conflict of interest because Harlan Crow had no business in front of the Supreme Court.

That's a lie. Thanks to a report from Bloomberg yesterday, we now know that yes, in fact, Harlan Crow did have business in front of the Supreme Court. And guess what? He also won that case. The case involved a company Tramel Crow, residential Crow, as in Harlan Crow. It was a business that he had an ownership stake in a financial interest, and they won. They won their case. But after this news broke, Bloomberg did reach out to Trammel Crow. And here's what they said. At the time of this case, Tramel Crow residential operated completely independently of Crow Holdings with a separate management team and its own independent operations. Okay? So it was, this was not Harlan Crow's main company. It was just a different company that he also owned. Like y'all aren't refuting that. You can't sit there and be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

That is a totally different company owned by Harlan Crow. It, it doesn't matter if it was a part of Crow Holdings or not a part of Crow Holdings. If he owned it, then he still had a financial stake in the outcome of that case. Do you morons not see how that works? Or do you think the rest of us are so stupid that we don't see how that works? Because it's one of those two, you're either morons or you think everybody else is a moron. Either way, your little excuse here doesn't hold water whatsoever because as long as Crow is in the frigging name and on the official documents, he had a financial stake in it. Doesn't matter if it's part of the other company or not, people can own more than one thing. By the way, I don't know if y'all know that over there at, uh, Trammel Crow residential, but yeah, he can own two things.

He could own three things. So just throwing that out there so you stop treating everybody else like they're complete and total brain dead morons. But we also learned yesterday, it ain't just Clarence Thomas. Neil Gorsuch also sold property nine days after he was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court to the chief executive of the law firm of Greenburg Traurig, who frequently has cases in front of the United States Supreme Court. So what happened was that Mr. Gorsuch had a piece of property for sale for two years. Nobody wanted to buy it.
