Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election

WASHINGTON POST: Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts show

By 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 Biden’s victory “the greatest Heist of our History” and told him that President Donald Trump should not concede.

Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.

The messages – 29 in all – reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s 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 America’s 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.”

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.

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 Trump’s inner circle to promote and seek to guide the president’s strategy to overturn the election results – and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice. Among Thomas’s 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 Trump’s legal team.

I subscribe to the Washington Post so if you want more I’ll post more of the article- let me know

She's either got the worst sense of political optics ever or she's batshit insane. Maybe both.

Having his wife involved with this conspiracy.

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

What is "pilloried in the Press supposed to do? Since when has he ever cared about that? The circles he runs in consider that a badge of honor.

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.

The work of the January 6 select committee has already come before the Supreme Court. In early January. The court did not stand in the way of the release of thousands

of documents from the Trump White House despite the former President suing to keep them secret under executive privilege. The vote on the matter was 8-1, with

only Justice Thomas dissenting.
