Ginni Thomas regularly met with Donald Trump while he was president, often providing him lists of people whom he should fire and hire one of which the White House suspected of being a foreign spy.
The latest turn in the MAGA unmasking of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wife, who we learned last week sent a series of text messages pressuring Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to work to overturn the 2020 election, comes by way of a Daily Beast report published Friday.
The meetings between Trump and Thomas didnt exactly leave the former president in a good mood, according to the Daily Beast. We all knew that within minutes after Ginni left her meeting with the president, he would start yelling about firing people for being disloyal, a former senior Trump administration official told the outlet. When Ginni Thomas showed up, you knew your day was wrecked.
Thomas hiring memos were not taken seriously by Trump aides. According to the Beast, they were so often filled with infamous bigots and conspiracy theorists, woefully under-qualified names, and obvious close friends of Thomas that several senior Trump aides would laugh at them that is, until Trump would force his staff to put certain names through the official vetting process, three sources familiar with the matter said.

(6,265 posts)at the highest level of our government. Hard to believe Hitlerism, Putinism and of course their student and puppet, respectively, trump actually ruled this country for 4 long very dangerous years. And dangerous only because we had a sub-literate traitor at the helm of this ship of state. Only the actions of the smart crew kept us off the rocks. The contempt I hold for these people is immeasurable...

(22,174 posts)blind, and here they are, being so blatantly open and consorting w/ one party solely (and being so obviously for djt).
Justice is supposed to be blind, but she is going off and mouthing off to everyone that will listen to her...funny, I didn't know that she was appointed a Justice.
The institution of the Supreme Court has been damaged severely.
Sure, he may not have participated in any wrongdoing, but the appearances of a Justice on the Supreme Court, along w/ his wife involved in such doings, as meeting w/ djt, and others, demands both strict adherence to the impartiality of deciding court cases, listening instead to the evidence that is presented (instead of listening to his wife).
Disgusting and he should be impeached. The entire series of rulings that he's participated in are tainted.
