I missed this in December: Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, signed a letter to Kevin McCarthy accusing the Jan. 6 committee of engaging in "political harassment," "demagoguery," and "overtly partisan political persecution." http://conservativeactionproject.com/conservative-leaders-remove-cheney-and-kinzinger-from-house-republican-conference/…





The letter signed by Ginni Thomas urges McCarthy to revoke Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger's membership in the GOP conference, claiming that both representatives are trying "to undermine the privacy and due process of their fellow Republicans." http://conservativeactionproject.com/conservative-leaders-remove-cheney-and-kinzinger-from-house-republican-conference/…

Notably, the letter signed by Ginni Thomas claims that the Jan. 6 committee's subpoenas have no "valid legislative end."

Trump v. Thompson—which is before the Supreme Court *right now*—asks the justices to decide ... whether these subpoenas have a valid legislative end.

I fear these tweets will revive a notorious conspiracy theory, so let me state this now: To the best of my knowledge, Ginni Thomas did not help organize any events on Jan. 6 or finance the day's activities. What she did was post on Facebook:

Ginni Thomas, Wife of Clarence, Cheered On the Rally That Turned Into the Capitol Riot
Days later, when her post attracted attention, Thomas noted she wrote it before the violence began.

[The Magistrate]

1. So Clarence Will Recuse From Any Case Involving The Committee, Ma'am....

"Comedy is best left to professionals."

3. Undoubtedly, Sir.

6. Sir, please do not hold your breath.

I fear you will turn a most ungodly shade of blue.

[Hekate]

9. Without a shred of doubt, Sir

2. Still, it sounds like she has something to hide

[Tommymac]

4. Her husband.

5. Ha!I remember her face during the Anita Hill testimony

[PortTack]

7. Bee-acth!

[spanone]

8. Maybe the Jan.6 committee should call Ginni in to tell them what she knows.

14. 1+

10. Uncle Clarence should be given choices

1. Recuse himself from issues involving January 6.

2 Failing that, resign or face impeachment.

[Takket]

11. Yeah rethugs certainly aren't getting any "due process"

That’s why Bannon said fuck you to the committee and got 7 months to prep for a contempt of Congress trial. Because they aren’t getting any “due process”.

[Mad_Machine76]

13. +1

[pecosbob]

12. Sounds to me like overtly partisan political activities by the spouse of a seated SC justice

Which should be a bloody felony. She has long been known for her direct access to any Republican White House. She'd better hope that I'm never made King For A Day.

[crickets]

15. This from the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice,

the court which should not be politicized (ha) much less partisan. Can you spell hypocrisy, boys and girls? Sure you can!

[Progressive Jones]

16. Ginnifer Thomas is a lying piece garbage. Nt
