Calls grow for arrest of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's wife

[B.See]

After 16 Republicans were charged over the "false elector" conspiracy, there have been mounting calls for officials to investigate Virginia "Ginni" Thomas for allegedly attempting to rig the 2020 election result. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on Tuesday, July 18 that the 16 individuals were each charged with eight felonies for allegedly trying to thwart the will of voters in the 2020 presidential election.

At that time, Thomas allegedly sent text messages to Mark Meadows, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump, encouraging him to work to overturn Biden’s victory and keep Trump in office. Additionally, she was also accused of sending emails to several lawmakers and Arizona election officials, arguing that it was their "constitutional duty" to pick a "clean slate" of electors who would be willing to proclaim Trump the winner in the Grand Canyon State in 2020.

4. Interesting news site you found there

Do you often read that site?

How did you find it?

[msfiddlestix]

21. I didn't click, cuz the source wasn't revealed in the OP

curious, definitely. but NOT enough for me to blind click.

from your comment, I feel like my instincts were fairly accurate.

thanks for the public service!

[progressoid]

26. Yeah, I'm not sure I'd call it a news site.

Their "about us" page is also interesting.

Make sure you cross the street if you visit by bus.

6. Calls from social media randos aren't worth a damn.

Sorry, but this is just clickbait.

[Effete Snob]

8. Take a look around that site

That site is interesting.

Joe Rogan, Sound of Freedom, lots of fascinating “information” to be had there.

[Hekate]

12. *Just* what we need here at DU. OP needs to find another source, it looks like.

[Effete Snob]

18. Check out the copy in this article

“However, social media users have called for conservative activists to also face charges in the wake of actions against 16 Republicans.”

“conservative activists”

“ These calls came after it was revealed that Thomas has contributed at least $20,000 to Republican political committees. Federal records stated that Trump has been one of the biggest recipients of her generosity, according to Forbes.”

Why yes, there has been quite a buzz recently about the Thomas’ generosity to others.

[B.See]

14. I use "news aggregator" sites

Which I will not name as it might be contrary to the forum rules here at DU. Just do a search for news aggregators. You'll find several articles listing their picks for the best.

[Effete Snob]

17. That's not what this appears to be

This appears to be original “content” with staff bylines.

But let’s look closer at this story…

“ However, social media users have called for conservative activists to also face charges in the wake of actions against 16 Republicans.”

Ah, the mob is coming for “conservative activists” are they. But this, this is something:

“ These calls came after it was revealed that Thomas has contributed at least $20,000 to Republican political committees. Federal records stated that Trump has been one of the biggest recipients of her generosity, according to Forbes.”

Ah, it has been “revealed” that Thomas is a generous donor of money to others! That’s why they are going after him!

This is an oddly slanted article from a troubling site.

[B.See]

20. As I stated, the article was found on a news aggregator....

... news aggregators pull stories from a variety of sites, some pro, some con, some slanted, some not. As for your interpretations of the material YOU quoted from the article, I think your comments are "oddly slanted."

Or perhaps I've misread your intent. Are you or are you not defending Thomas' "generosity" (for want of a better word) to Donald Trump?

[TwilightZone]

24. Garbage in, garbage out.

News aggregators are only as good as their source material.

The source for the story in your OP is a right-wing disinformation site. You should delete the thread.

[TwilightZone]

25. Yeah, it's right-wing nonsense.

I really wish people would better vet their sources.

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Where do we show up

with our bullhorns?

[padah513]

13. Best scenario is that she is and Clarence Thomas resigns to keep her out of jail

Dammit I can dream

[Bluethroughu]

15. She orchestrated her group to rally at the SAVE AMERICA

Staging point for the insurrection. What did Thomas know? How much did his pocket book Harlan help with? Seditious Conspiracy should put them in the prison next to their insurrection tools.

16. Which US Judge will sign an arrest warrant for a Justices' wife?

22. Right-wing disinformation site.

You should delete this thread.

23. Yes Please!

27. Ginni's hands are very, very dirty. It seems to me that everywhere there is "smoke", Ginni is

standing there with a lighter.

[B.See]

29. Exactly.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

30. Would be fitting

Clarence and Ginni feel untouchable anyways and so do their donors

[Emile]

31. You posted a right wing website. You should self delete.

32. It was certainly not my intent to post from a "right wing" website...

...or promote any of the right's cruel, hate based, retrogressive ideology. Anyone familiar with my posts, herein, or long before my arrival here, would KNOW that I've a 15 year history of defending liberalism, Democrats, democracy, civil rights, etc. in various forums while incurring a helluva lot of right winged vitriol - and often in very hostile environments.

Regarding the article itself, I'm hard pressed to understand what about it isn't factual. However, if this post (or article) is somehow in violation, I respectfully defer to the forum mods judgment in locking or deleting it.

35. They're above the law and know it. But yes put some pressure on them.

Make them squirm a bit if nothing else.

[maxsolomon]

37. She was text bombing Meadows et al

She's a fucking toxic loon, but it's not prosecutable.

[NH Ethylene]

38. So I don't think what was cited here would be against the law.

Telling others to steal the election is not enough. Heck, I could call somebody and say that. It's meaningless. But knowing something of Ginni's shenanigans, this is likely the tip of the iceberg. If she provided any monetary support or discussed logistics for the uprising, then she is in hot water indeed.

I would love to topple the Thomas dynasty.

[onenote]

40. Four or five internet randos suggesting she should be investigated/indicted is meaningless

Really. Calls "grow"? I suppose if going from one to five is a growing call, sure. But I suspect that there hundreds times that number calling for Biden, Smith, and heaven knows who else to be arrested.

It's a clickbait article.

[AllaN01Bear]

41. how about him as well.

[Snackshack]

42. Should have happened

Months... probably years ago. J6 cannot be the first time she has been a key player in trying to get an election over turned/redone.

I wonder how involved she was back in 2000 when the same group of people it seemed like kept showing up at different places to basically demonstrated against the re-count between Florida and DC which ended up with scotus appointing bush jr as president and gore did nothing... except concede the race.

That was such a disappointment. I have always thought he was way too quick to fold and should have pushed back more.

[SouthernDem4ever]

43. Leopards can't change their spots

And Ginny can't change her dirty laundry.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. Charge her for seditious conspiracy and prosecute. She was actively undermining democracy. nt

[B.See]

49. EXACTLY!

Her and the other insurrectionist co-conspirators in various levels of state government and in Congress.

[BlueWavePsych]

45. Kick

[Sessuch]

48. Religious freedom

She volunteered to avoid a summons, gave her deposition, then said it was her religious belief that the election was stolen. She believes that that gives her first amendment rights of religious freedom and freedom of speech. Let the Supreme Court unravel that. Will Clarence recuse himself?

[B.See]

50. The ONLY "freedom" MAGAS know is their freedom to stomp upon everyone else's.

They're a cruel, hateful, evil, conniving LOT. And if we let these fascists gain full control come November 2024, then DEMOCRACY WILL BE OVER.
