HERE WE GO: House Democrats Launch Offensive to Force Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to Recuse Himself From Trump Immunity Case

Here we go.

House Democrats are now pressuring Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump’s immunity case.

Special Counsel Jack Smith last Monday asked the US Supreme Court to weigh in on Trump’s immunity claims.

In September Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Jack Smith is fighting to keep the March 4 trial date (one day before Super Tuesday) in his January 6 case against Trump in DC.

......snip.......

The Washington Post reported:

In a new letter, eight House Democrats, led by Rep. Hank Johnson (Ga.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee’s courts subcommittee, are calling on Thomas to recuse himself in the case, citing the court’s new code of conduct’s guidance on impartiality.

Specifically, they raised concerns about Thomas’s wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, who repeatedly pressed the Trump White House and lawmakers to overturn Biden’s 2020 victory, attended the Stop the Steal rally before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and told the House committee investigating the attack last year that she still believed the 2020 election was stolen. The letter, dated Dec. 15, says Ginni Thomas’s actions after the election “raise serious questions” about her husband’s “ability to be or even to appear impartial in any cases before the Supreme Court involving the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection.”

“If you want to show the American people that the Supreme Court’s recent Code of Conduct is worth more than the paper it is written on, you must do the honorable thing and recuse yourself from any decisions in the case of United States v. Trump,” the lawmakers state.

Sure.

When Jack Smith recuses (wife wrote fawning bio of the Obamas)

When Art Engoron recuses (clerk is hard line Rat activist)

When Tanya Chutkan recuses (already been asked, refused)

When Letitia James recuses (on record as being massively prejudiced)

When Fani Williams recuses (Black Panther racist terrorist)

When Al Bragg recuses (c.f. Letitia “Tishus” James)

The list is well...endless

But hey if they all agree to eject then...maybe

I wonder who wrote that letter for Hank Johnson. Frankly, I wonder who signed his name.

So who will be the first Republican to reach across the isle and agree that Thomas should recuse himself? Graham? The Turtle? Come on man. You could end up as a pundit on CNN or PBS.

Maybe John Roberts needs to recuse himself if he's thinking about agreeing with Jack Smith.

“Besides Johnson, the letter was signed by Reps. Jamie B. Raskin (Md.), Madeleine Dean (Pa.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Tex.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Gerald E. Connolly (Va.), Dan Goldman (N.Y.) and Jasmine Crockett (Texas).

Quite the crowd. It will be very easy to ignore a letter from this gaggle. I would hardly call that an effort to force anything....but it makes a good headline.

Obviously the 'fix' is in (John Roberts?) if they are this aggressive about one vote. Justice Thomas won't likely recuse himself... the question is: will our lawless enemy proceed as if a decision against them is invalid. Our enemy is at the point that they will do anything to get what they want - anything! Obviously the law is no impediment to them any longer.

No, Thomas will not recuse himself.

He is the most conscientious of the Justices.

He will laugh these efforts. Since the entire J6 was fake, any conflict of interest would also need to be fake right?

Billions of off shore money from around the world are being funneled into the democrat party to get the government changed to the one order system.

Newsmax had a great story on it last night.
