The fullest accounting yet shows how Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood.
It’s horrific that we’ve arrived at a place where you can read about any conservative in power being caught red-handed committing any crime, and without even looking, you can be 100% sure that Republicans will ignore or deny the problem.
As all this stuff comes out and gets verified, I keep naively thinking that we will see these people face consequences soon. Eventually someone will have to take action and remove him from his position, but as time passes, nothing happens. The news cycle moves on, and the general population forgets.
It’s shit like this that further drives me into nihilism.
100 percent agree. I mean, we talk about Trump facing consequences now, but he was entirely spared any charges for the campaign finance fronts that sent his lawyer to jail, and for which Trump was EXPRESSLY named as a co-conspirator! This was due to the decision of a Republican-dominated committee.
INFINITELY WORSE is that Biden’s attorney general, Merrick Garland, declined to press charges or appoint a special counsel to investigate THE MOST EGREGIOUS CASE OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. Mueller outlined all the ways that Trump thwarted the investigation into Russia’s interference in our 2016 election on his behalf.
Trump fired the FBI director, and EXPRESSLY said (caught on tape) that AT THE TIME HE FIRED COMEY he was thinking that this would make the Russia investigation go away. To be clear, if you read this in a law school exam, you would know for sure that the professor was giving you a huge clue that mens rea was established (at the TIME of the criminal act, did the defendant intend to commit the crime). I mean, it was handed to us on a silver platter.
Just to be 100 percent clear on what happened: Trump was given a pass for obstructing the investigation into whether or not he committed TREASON by CONSPIRING with a foreign adversary to interfere with our presidential election.
AND DEMOCRATIC APPOINTED Merrick Garland sat on these charges to the point where they can no longer be filed because of the statute of limitations.
It was OUTRAGEOUS that Trump’s own AG didn’t press charges, but utter insanity that they weren’t filed the instant Trump was out of office.

Zero integrity.
