Clarence Thomas Might Be The Most Corrupt SCOTUS Judge Ever

Another news story broke this week from ProPublica showing that billionaire Harlan Crow paid for the private school education of a great nephew that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was raising "as a son." As usual, Thomas did NOT disclose the thousands of dollars that Crow paid for the then-child's education, even though he reported payments made for the child's education by a non-billionaire friend of his. This man is too corrupted to serve in public office, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Well, folks, I think it's time. We consider the fact that there's a good chance that Clarence Thomas May be the most corrupted Supreme Court justice to ever serve on the United States Supreme Court. It was revealed this week, once again by ProPublica that Thomas had accepted a gift that he did not report in the form of tuition payments of $6,000 per month for his great nephew's private school. Now, this great nephew of, uh, Clarence Thomas, he said in the 2007 interview, we're raising him as a son. So you're raising him as if he is your son. Therefore, any tuition payments to this child for this child would be viewed as a reportable gift for the justice. And he didn't report it. However, there was another donor who wasn't a multi-billionaire who did pay some of the tuition too, and Clarence Thomas did report that one, but he didn't report the thousands and thousands of dollars in tuition payments made from Harlan Crow.

So Republicans who were out there saying like, it wasn't his kid, he didn't have to do this. Harlan Crow, just a guy that loves kids' education. Nope, cuz he reported the one but didn't report the other. So it shows you that not only, not only was this reportable, but Clarence Thomas knew, he knew how this would look if he reported the money from Harlan Crow. So he made the intentional decision to not report that one, but to report the other one. You have intent. Now folks, if this were a criminal trial, that would be the smoking gun and he would be convicted.

But it's not a criminal trial. There's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can do. I mean, that could be it. Like we could just fade to black right now cuz there's nothing we can do. Now you do finally have some Democrats in the Senate that are getting off. They're off that Chief Justice John Roberts refused to come and willingly testify. And they said they're requesting documents from Clarence Thomas. If he doesn't turn over those documents, they'll see what their legal avenue is after that. But here's the thing that I I, I talked about last time when we talked about Roberts, if they end up issuing a subpoena to Clarence Thomas and Thomas just simply says, I'm not gonna comply, then what? Right? Because I know some people out there on social media are saying, listen, the Democrats actually can do a lot about this and they're gonna do it. Relax. But that's the thing is like even if the Democrats try to do the things and Clarence Thomas

Just says no. Okay, so where do you take it? The Supreme Court, like every justice would have to recuse themselves. So then what happens? Then? What happens if those justices don't recuse themselves and vote to protect him from the subpoena? You still can't do anything about 'em. You don't have the numbers to impeach 'em all. So at the end of the day, like I'm looking 10 steps ahead, while some people are like, no, there's still one and two steps. Those little baby steps of things we could do don't matter because ultimately at the end the Supreme Court can just say no and then we can't do anything. Then we're screwed. But we have a lawless Supreme Court, we have a corrupted justice, both him and his wife, Jenny Thomas, cuz I know we're all familiar with her issues. And this is nuts. This is nuts that we can't do anything. This is nuts.
