Former Top FBI Official: ‘Concerning’ Ginni Thomas Signed Letter Saying Jan. 6 Participants ‘Have Done Nothing Wrong’

New Civil Rights Movement, January 18, 2022

A former top FBI official who served as Chief of the Bureau’s Counterespionage Section and led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election says it’s “concerning” that Ginni Thomas signed a letter attacking the House January 6 Select Committee.

Peter Strzok, who also led the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server and for a short time served on the Mueller Investigation, responded to Tuesday’s social media eruption over the resurfaced letter signed by Thomas, a far right wing conspiracy theorist and lobbyist who happens to be married to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

That letter calls for U.S. Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to be expelled from the House Republican conference, which would also involve stripping them of their committee assignments.

Strzok was more focused on the current makeup of the Supreme Court, and other points of the letter which was signed in December by Thomas and more than 60 other mostly far right wing conservatives – making it a veritable who’s who of well-known extreme conservative activists including the head of an anti-LGBTQ hate group.

“Which is more concerning: That the spouse of a SC Justice recently signed a letter calling the Jan 6 Cmttee ‘an overtly partisan political persecution that brings disrespect to our country’s rule of law [and] legal harassment to private citizens who have done nothing wrong’ Or,” Strzok wrote, “The fact that the former President who encouraged those ‘private citizens who have done nothing wrong’ to violently oppose the peaceful transfer of power appointed three of nine Justices to the Supreme Court?”

1. Does "done nothing wrong" include...

...paying for several busloads of rioters to get to DC? IFIRC, Ginni did that...

[AZSkiffyGeek]

3. I believe that was disproven

But she's still up to her eyeballs in it.

[dchill]

7. I withdraw the specific claim, but agree with her eyeballs!

[Kid Berwyn]

4. That story fell off Corporate McPravda's radar PDQ.

Among her her many, uh, hats Ginni is a director of a swell group of well-heeled haters called the Council of National Policy. They ginned up the Big Lie.

Ginni Thomas, Wife of the Supreme Court Justice, Helped Advance the Election Disinformation Campaign – Here’s How

by Kristin Doerr, Right Wing Watch

Excerpt…

In the days leading up to the Jan. 6 mayhem, and on the day itself, the connection between CNP and Stop the Steal—and the campaign’s influence on the White House—became more apparent.

On Dec. 30, Right Wing Watch posted a report about a letter sent by the Conservative Action Project to Senate Republicans urging them to “contest the electoral votes” from “Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona”—the battleground states Biden won. That letter may have not mentioned Stop the Steal by name, but it asked senators to do exactly what Stop the Steal was demanding of Republican members of Congress: to reject electoral votes in favor of Biden.

Maybe Mrs. Thomas should get a subpoena…

[fwvinson]

16. Maybe her husband ought to get one too.

[SergeStorms]

24. Maybe he shouldn't get a subpoena.....

but he damned well should get the hell off the Supreme Court.

You can be a political activist, or you can be a fair and impartial judge, but you can't be both.

Thomas should resign from the Supreme Court, but you know he never will. He's a conservative, and if there are two things conservatives lack, it's honor and integrity.

[FailureToCommunicate]

38. AND, a cushy life-time position where you don't really EVER have to speak...

your "mind".

[Volaris]

39. I've heard that it's the hit dog that yelps,...

So yeah.

[Kittycatkat]

50. she was also wrong to marry a rapist , so there's that. How low can she go?

[dchill]

51. How about "backing insurrection low."

[Kittycatkat]

54. they are damnable traitors

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Someone needs to remind the Mrs. Thomas that...

1) Busting out windows at the Capitol
2) Busting down doors
3) Deficating on the carpets and smearing it on the walls in the halls
4) Entering Congressional offices and STEALING stuff
5) Beating Police with poles, their guns, shields, etc.
6) Seeking out Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence to do them harm
7) trashing Congressional offices
8) trashing through the Chambers and hanging from the rafters so to speak

IS DOING a LOT of wrong. Ginni Thomas is off her rocker and her Ass. Justice husband needs to recuse himself or face consequences of conflict of intetest.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. Same for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett.

Tools appointed by a traitor.

I really wonder why there was no Democratic filibuster.

[Mr.Bill]

11. McConnell changed the rules

so that only 51 votes are required to seat a Supreme Court Justice. So they can all be proud that only republicans voted for them. Ruth Bader Ginsburg got 93 votes from the Senate.

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Thank you.

I’m steamed the only time we Democrats can filibuster is when we don’t need it and the only time the pukes cannot use it is when they don’t need to filibuster.

Something is very wrong when Putin’s Poodle Dimdonnie Drumpfler gets to appoint three Associate Justices. And there was nothing we could do about it.

Now, when we need to do a heckuva lot more than expand the Supreme Court, we can’t do squat.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. Kid, you really nailed it.......

The inability to 'do what is right,' both FOR something and AGAINST something has really kicked us where it does hurt...

[SergeStorms]

25. RBG would only get 48 now.

Manchin would demand bipartisan support before he'd vote to confirm, and Sinema...oh, look at those fantastic earrings! 🤪 They'd go wonderfully with my magenta poodle skirt!

[GB_RN]

12. Because They Literally Could Not...

The Repukes nuked the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees when tRump nominated Gorsuck for Scalia's seat (after McConnell held the seat open to keep Obama from appointing Garland). The Democrats initiated a filibuster, then McConnell and company nuked it; changed the rules so that SCOTUS nominees (the last federal appointees that could be filibustered at that point) could no longer be filibustered. When Kava-Nope! and Amy COVID Barrett came around, there was a whole lotta nothing they could do.

The Democrats had previously changed the rules for all other nominees and federal judges during the Obama administration because McConnell and the Repukes had filibustered nearly every nominee Obama made after 2012. So, then Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid changed the rules to try and move things forward. McConnell swore revenge...he got it. But, he was obstructing Obama's choices on an unprecedented scale and with obvious (racist) malice.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Mitch McConnell, the Gravedigger of American Democracy

“If the US has someone whom historians will look back on as the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell. He stoked the hyperpolarization of American politics to make the Obama presidency as dysfunctional and paralyzed as he possibly could. As with parliamentary gridlock in Weimar, congressional gridlock in the US has diminished respect for democratic norms, allowing McConnell to trample them even more. Nowhere is this vicious circle clearer than in the obliteration of traditional precedents concerning judicial appointments. Systematic obstruction of nominations in Obama’s first term provoked Democrats to scrap the filibuster for all but Supreme Court nominations. Then McConnell’s unprecedented blocking of the Merrick Garland nomination required him in turn to scrap the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations in order to complete the “steal” of Antonin Scalia’s seat and confirm Neil Gorsuch. The extreme politicization of the judicial nomination process is once again on display in the current Kavanaugh hearings.“

Thank you for the summation! I hope these crooks in robes get a full measure of the justice they deserve.

33. Definitely A Little More Detail There...

Than what I was able to give. Lol

I’m a bit of a political junkie, and I also follow a site for political junkies, so the history, or at least the basics of it, sticks with me.

[ShazzieB]

14. That would leave 5 justices...

Three liberals and two conservapukes. Works for me!

5. More than "concerning"... Ginni

Thomas is a Stupid Idiot POS Fuck.

That coming her Means they did Everything WRONG!

As IF we couldn't see it with our own eyes!

8. VRWC

Sec. Sen. Dr. Clinton was right.

The right are organized, funded, ruthless and driven.

And it’s clear they are traitors.

9. Yes she was and of course

it's only gotten Exponentially Worse.

[llmart]

10. +1

She was criticized for calling it a "vast, right wing conspiracy". It's continued to this day.

[wnylib]

40. Vast right wing conspiracy by the deplorable.

When Hillary talks, people should listen.

[LiberalFighter]

13. I would like to see her burned at the staked.

[monkeyman1]

17. that's called air pollution!!

[Kid Berwyn]

32. Her husband thinks torture is OK.

Water boarding is too good for such who betray the Constitution.

[rockfordfile]

15. That person is a un-American pos

[Kid Berwyn]

34. That is a fact.

Their conspiracy isn’t cabal-sized, it’s nationwide. The thing is, the GOP is a seditious criminal organization. The government is gonna need a bigger RICO Act. And a lot more lawyers.

[Mr. Ected]

21. Don't we have a system in place, Mrs. Thomas, to address whether wrong was done or not?

I know it's more your husband's bailiwick than yours, but a Congressional investigatory committee or a court of law may be the Constitutional way to proceed. We've already witnessed that many, many people were found to have broken American laws on 1/6, so the assertion that everyone involved was a private citizen who've done nothing wrong" has already been proven to be fallacious.

[Kid Berwyn]

46. It's an admission of guilt, casting aspersions on a duly appointed body.

Knowledge of a crime that no one mentioned, private citizens working in concert to overturn the election, also bears investigation.

[musette_sf]

22. Oh Ginni...

Your close warm personal friend Sidney Powell has been subpoenaed...

[Kid Berwyn]

47. May the proceedings make noises and sparks like aluminum foil in the radar range.

23. Pretty much says Clarence should recuse himself.

Don't ya think?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. Should but won't

Count on it.

[usaf-vet]

27. A lot has been said over the years how Thomas rarely speaks. I have a petty good idea why.

Because the BIT*H he is married to hasn't told him what his position is.

Why do we continue to let her influence the decisions on the SCOTUS?

[aggiesal]

37. Thomas rarely speaks because of the old saying ...

It is better to sit with your mouth shut and appear stupid,
then to open it and remove all doubt.

[usaf-vet]

49. Good on! Buts she still is a loud mouth B*T*H.

[Kid Berwyn]

Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett, too.

Justice Thomas reported a wealth of gifts

In the last six years he has accepted free items valued at $42,200, the most on the high court.

December 31, 2004|Richard A. Serrano and David G. Savage | LA Times Staff Writers

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

SNIP...

He also took a free trip aboard a private jet to the exclusive Bohemian Grove club in Northern California -- arranged by a wealthy Texas real estate investor who helped run an advocacy group that filed briefs with the Supreme Court.

Those and other gifts were disclosed by Thomas under a 1978 federal ethics law that requires high-ranking government officials, including the nine Supreme Court justices, to file a report each year that lists gifts, money and other items they have received.

Thomas has reported accepting much more valuable gifts than his Supreme Court colleagues over the last six years, according to their disclosure forms on file at the court.
