HO. LEE. SHIT.

Last week, when it emerged that Ginni Thomas had been using a spambot to email Arizona legislators urging them to overturn the election by clawing back Joe Biden's electoral votes, we kind of shrugged in the Wonkette Seekrit Slack Cave. We are not shrugging this morning over last night's twin scoops from the Washington Post and the New York Times about Mrs. Justice Clarence Thomas and her communications with Trump's coup lawyer John Eastman.

First the Post's Jacqueline Alemany, Josh Dawsey and Emma Brown revealed that emails from Ginni Thomas were among those handed over in the final tranche of documents from Chapman University. Eastman “retired” from his gig as a law professor (and former dean!) at Chapman after it emerged that he was the driving force behind the plan to overturn the election by having Vice President Mike Pence reject swing state electors for Biden.

Because Eastman conducted his coup plotting over work email — as one does! — the House January 6 Select Committee subpoenaed Chapman, at which point Eastman sued the committee in the Northern District of California. And N.D. Cal. isn't the federal court in DC, which is no one's idea of fast, even when it's not groaning under the weight of hundreds of January 6 prosecutions. In short order, US District Judge David Carter had dropkicked all of Eastman's stupid arguments about the committee's illegitimacy and ordered him to start coughing up documents. And more importantly, he identified Eastman's maneuvering with Trump to obstruct congressional certification of Biden's electoral win on January 6 as a CRIME, vitiating the attorney-client privilege under the crime-fraud exception.

Eastman has been producing his emails on a rolling basis, dragging his feet to sometimes comical effect. At one point Eastman claimed privilege over an email because the sender was a "potential client," only to have the committee respond that they'd already spoken to sender, who said they were never a potential client and had only contacted Eastman to tell him he had gotten something wrong in his public blarping.

1. There should be no doubt.

I would wager that Clarence may have helped her write them.

8. I'm starting to wonder if it's the other way around

and Ginni helps Clarence write his SC opinions.

9. Two things can be true at the same time.

2. I don't doubt it...

It was one of the first questions that came to mind when I saw she was a player in this.

3. And people actually have a doubt who leaked the scotus rvw memo's?

Really?

4. A side point--Eastman was pushed out of Chapman. A large contingent

of faculty held meetings and pressured the admin to get rid of him, which is very difficult when a professor has tenure and holds an endowed chair. Good on them!

Apparently the university was able to get him to accept a retirement offer. They likely told him that if he were convicted of a felony, they could legally fire him with no compensation (typical in faculty contracts).

5. Go-Between?

Courier?

Broker?

Liaison?

Co-conspirator?

6. Recommended.

I suppose that sinks the idea that she and Clarence never talked about the issues involved.

7. These are really bad people. We smile at

what’s happening now, but they could still get in power.

And journalists, honest officials — including members of Congress — members of the Biden crime family, etc. could still end up kidnapped into political prisons and executed or just “disappeared.”

VERY bad people.
