COURT BATTLES Clarence Thomas says he ‘was advised’ he didn’t have to disclose trips paid for by GOP donor BY ZACH SCHONFELD - 04/07/23 11:26 AM ET SHARE TWEET
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday said he “was advised” that he did not have to disclose a series of trips reportedly paid for by a Republican mega-donor.
The trips, which were revealed on Thursday by a ProPublica investigation, led to outrage from Democrats and judicial watchdog groups.
“Early in my tenure at the Court, I sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary, and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable. I have endeavored to follow that counsel throughout my tenure, and have always sought to comply with the disclosure guidelines,” Thomas said in a statement, his first public comments since the report.

Judges, prosecuting attornies, elected officials, should all know better. They should live within their means, should not be taking bribes, as this is what this is at that dollar amount. Maybe their wasn't an immediate trade but surely it would be asked at some point, directly or indirectly.
Sad to see Thomas succumbed to the tempation. Maybe he keeps his seat on the court, but he is forever tainted in my book.
He sought to comply. So shove it.
You’re an idiot cuck
Even if he did do something wrong who cares except the rats? They’re rats for a reason. They’ll run with it anyway.
I’d rub their noses in it. Think-2 bombs for Pearl Harbor. Payback’s a bitch.
Thomas has a rich friend. Clintons had Epstein and Weinstein.
They are after us all. Trump is right.
“Thomas did NOTHING wrong.”
Right and wrong has no place in the discussion.
Either there is a majority in the House, and 67 votes in the Senate to Impeach him, or there is not.
So, Thomas has a rich friend.
Bribem used a rich friend’s mansion to take his vacation. Should he be charged? Fox even had a picture of Liz Warren getting off a private plane. Doesn’t she have to pay the air fare for that? Us Conservatives take the left wing media reports as gospel and we trash our own. It has to stop. We are our own worst enemy.
Precisely, this is all bullshit.
Biden has taken millions from around the world. This Thomas thing is a joke.
Hunter is a junkie, not a business man, they gave him money to get to the Big Guy.
What a diversion!
This comes down to a simple question - is Clarence Thomas allowed to have a rich friend?
This is to set up a demand for a recusal
It’s not like he was going to Epstein Island like Roberts did.
.
Biden just stayed at the home of a Donor - a $20 Million beachfront Private Island .
Hunter and Jill were there.
Jill decided to stay for 3 weeks.
Joe’s been doing it for 40 years.
Why is this coming out now, hmmm?
They are just attacking a black man who left the reservation.
“Why is this coming out now, hmmm?”
They need to take control of the Supreme court before Trump cases get there and next Presidential election.
Why is Deep State worried?
It’s not like we have honest elections anymore...
