Tell Merrick Garland to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Clarence Thomas!

The blatant corruption of Clarence Thomas is out of control. New reporting shows that the Justice received a free trip to Putin’s hometown in Russia and yacht trips with billionaire Harlan Crowe, none of which he disclosed in his financial statements. 

All that comes on the heels of the reporting showing that Clarence Thomas has been accepting what can only be construed as bribes from radical right-wing billionaires for decades. 

Demand the DOJ appoint a special counsel to investigate Justice Thomas!

Senators Whitehouse and Wyden have sent a letter to the Justice Department demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Thomas and hold him accountable for his breathtaking disregard for anything resembling ethical conduct as a judge on our nation’s highest court. 

“The scale of the potential ethics violations by Justice Thomas, and the willful pattern of disregard for ethics laws, exceeds the conduct of other government officials investigated by the Department of Justice for similar violations. The breadth of the omissions uncovered to date, and the serious possibility of additional tax fraud and false statement violations by Justice Thomas and his associates, warrant the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate this misconduct,” writes the Senators in their letter.

Enough is enough. If the Supreme Court won’t hold itself to an acceptable standard of ethics, then the Justice Department needs to do it for them.
