Here's why Ginni Thomas is facing new scrutiny from Jan. 6 select committee

Bob Brigham
September 13, 2022

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing increased scrutiny by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-MD), a member of the select committee, said more information would be forthcoming on Friday, after the group meets behind closed doors.

Raskin said the question about a potential subpoena for Thomas would be better left for Friday.

The committee’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), explained that something had changed that could allow the Thomas impasse to proceed to resolution.

"Well, we wrote her a letter," Thompson explained, "inviting her to come before the committee. And my understanding is, that because of some things that happened, it had to be delayed. And so, my understanding is that has now passed and we're in the process of trying to make that happen."

On at least two of the phone recently seized. Now that they have actual evidence in hand, it's time for her to be deposed. If she lies, she's toast. And a whole new can of worms opens up.

I think we might be getting into tick-tock territory with Ginni. So there for it.

Nobody's perfect,
Not even a perfect stranger.
Oh, but what a gal,
She was such a perfect stranger.
And you're the best in your field,
In your office,
With your girls, desk and leather chair.
Thought that time was on your side,
Not, it's time the avenger.
Nobody is permanent,
Everything is on loan here.
Even your wife and kids,
Could be gone next year.
And with what you have left,
You'll be forever, under pressure to support her.
And a lover who looks strangely,
Like time the avenger.
Time, time hear the bells chime.
Over the harbor in the city,
Time, one more vodka and lime,
To help paralyze that little
Tick, tick tick tick ...
Nobody's perfect,
Not even a perfect gent.
When you properly took the A train,
I wonder where your manners were.
You were standing at the station,
In your briefcase was your aftershave and underwear.
Can you hear the whistle blow,
Sounds like time the avenger.
Time, time hear the bells chime.
Over the harbor in the city.
Time kill another bottle of wine,
To help paralyze that little
Tick, tick tick tick ...

USSC Justice, who received the appointment only because of their biases and who they serve other than the People of the USA.

Like Clarence Thomas (for a start).

This is a much healthier strategy than expanding the court.
