WASHINGTON POST: Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts showBy Bob Woodward and Robert Costa
Today at 5:15 p.m. EDT
In messages to chief of staff Mark Meadows in the weeks after Election Day, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas called Bidens victory the greatest Heist of our History and told him that President Donald Trump should not concede.
The messages 29 in all reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trumps top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.
On Nov. 10, after news organizations had projected Joe Biden the winner based on state vote totals, Thomas wrote to Meadows: Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for Americas constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.
When Meadows wrote to Thomas on Nov. 24, the White House chief of staff invoked God to describe the effort to overturn the election. This is a fight of good versus evil, Meadows wrote. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it.

(11,282 posts)If DOJ didn't issue subpoenas and ultimately indictments over this why bother to vote?
Either we're a nation of laws or not. For every fucking body.

(5,755 posts)Thomas replied: Thank you!! Needed that! This plus a conversation with my best friend just now
I will try to keep holding on. America is worth it!
It is unclear to whom Thomas was referring.
The messages, which do not directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, show for the first time how Ginni Thomas used her access to Trumps inner circle to promote and seek to guide the presidents strategy to overturn the election results and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice. Among Thomass stated goals in the messages was for lawyer Sidney Powell, who promoted incendiary and unsupported claims about the election, to be the lead and the face of Trumps legal team.
I subscribe to the Washington Post so if you want more Ill post more of the article- let me know

He needs to step down or be pilloried in the Press for his close association with everything WRONG in the GOP.

(15,933 posts)The truth coming out is exceedingly sickening!
Ginny has tainted the court along with her whitewashed husband Clarence.
And remember Clarence was the only descending vote over Jan 6th. The picture is coming together.
