John Oliver offers Clarence Thomas $1m a year to leave Supreme Court

John Oliver has offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1m a year if he leaves the court immediately.

On a recent episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the show host declared, “This is not a joke”, as he waved a contract at the screen and asked the judge to “get the f*** off the Supreme Court.”

He added that on top of the million a year, he would throw in a motor coach worth $2.4m in return for the judge leaving the United States’ highest court – making reference with this offer to previous motor coach coverage, which revealed Mr Thomas borrowed over a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend to buy a luxury motor coach years prior.

"Clarence Thomas is arguably the most consequential justice on the court right now, and he’s never really seemed to like the job. He’s said it’s not worth doing ‘for the grief,’" Oliver said.

So a foreigner is trying to tamper with a Supreme Court justice. Seems like something the FBI should investigate.

Literally he just announced his attempt to tamper with a judge. That is a felony and he should immediately be arrested and charged.

Can we start a GoFundMe to pay John Oliver to keep his punchable face off our tv screens indefinitely?

>>>Instead, Schumer might flout the Constitutional qualifications and expedite his appointment to SCOTUS, perhaps after convincing Roberts or Sotomayor to retire.

How about giving a million to Khan to quit as mayor of London while there is still something of it left

Unfortunately for John Oliver - someone who considers himself famous so I am supposed to know who he is but thank God I never heard of him - only Democrats take bribes.

It's not just bribery of a judge. Former Brit and now U.S. citizen John Oliver, on national television, just tried to buy a black man.

A guy made a joke Meme about Hillary voters being able to vote on a different date or online or something that was a joke.

He was PROSECUTED for federal election interference.

Will anyone prosecute this?

"John Oliver offers Clarence Thomas $1m a year to leave Supreme Court"

...... Well .... It appears that John Oliver just might be guilty of Bribery which is a violation Under: "18 U.S. Code § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses"

Question: ...... So when is this Doofus going to be investigated by our Unesteemed FBI???

Answer: .... Never ...

He’s bribing a government official in an attempt to manipulate our government?

That sounds like a crime to me.

Lol. He’s an American citizen, it’s a joke, made on television for everyone to see. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

This might not be what it seems.

I got a month beer money sez that some time in the near future a case will reach SCOTUS involving some interest connected to John Oliver and the neo-Marxist demoncrats will insist Justice Thomas recuse himself because his judgement is tainted by Oliver’s offer.
