Related: About this forumRepublican billionaire & Clarence Thomas's bestie Harlan Crow says he won't provide info to Senate - GK
ProPublica recently revealed that Republican billionaire Harlan Crow lavished extravagant trips and accommodations on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Then it was revealed that Crow also bought Thomas's mother's house and let her live there rent free. But wait, there's more - Crow reportedly payed private school tuition for a grandnephew Thomas was raising as a son.
Not surprisingly, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Finance Committee demanded Crow provide information about the lavish gifts, benefits and payments to Thomas and his family, in an effort to investigate what kind of legislative fixes need to be enacted to address what appears to be rampant influence peddling and purchasing.
Crow just told the Senate Finance Committee that he will NOT be providing the requested evidence. And wait until you hear the reasons Crow gave for why he was refusing to cooperate with the Senate.

If crow and Thomas had any integrity the former would turn over requested documents and the latter would resign. Both have proven they have zero integrity but a mindset that if you have money the law does not apply to you.
Im probably like most taxpayers. I triple check to make sure every item I put on my tax form is correct, Is dotted, Ts crossed. Be cause like most taxpayers, I am a real live Patriot.
Harlan and slappy dont give a flying dog fuck about patriotism.
Im with Glen, gloves off. However, because of the nonstop lawlessness of conservatives in America allow me to kinda quote a line from Jaws, youre gonna need a bigger department of Justice.
