Legal Experts Call Attacks On Clarence Thomas ‘Ridiculous,’ Slam Media Reports As ‘Incomplete’

Media reports on alleged scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas reveal the Left’s desire to destroy his credibility, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
After the ProPublica report on Thomas’ acceptance of expense-paid trips from his friend, billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow, which Thomas said his colleagues assured him was not reportable, multiple other reports were released accusing Thomas of wrongdoing. Lawyers told the Daily Caller News Foundation the reports are incomplete, amounting to a smear campaign aimed at swaying public perception, joining two federal judges who also criticized the reports this week.
“With each new hit piece, the Left is revealing its true motive: to impugn Justice Thomas by any means necessary, no matter how ridiculous the charge,” Carrie Severino, JCN President and former clerk to Justice Thomas, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Washington Post published a story on Sunday on Justice Thomas reporting income from a “defunct real estate firm” on his financial disclosures. The “defunct” company that ceased to exist in 2006 — Ginger, Ltd., Partnership —changed its name that same year to operate as Ginger Holdings, LLC.
“The Washington Post should consider covering the Biden Administration with the vigor they put into investigating whether Justice Thomas wrote LLC or LLP,” Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted, reacting to the story.
Because critics of Thomas cannot argue his approach or decisions are legally incorrect, they “drop innuendos and incomplete information” to hope “uninformed people will assume the worst,” Thomas Jipping, senior legal fellow for Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told the DCNF.

Anything the Left makes up about Republicans gets splashed all over the news. Anything Democrats actually do doesn’t get reported at all.

They refuse to investigate the SCOTUS leaker but they try to bring their full might against conservatives.

They’ve been psychos about Thomas from his nomination and forward. I wouldn’t put it past them to rob and desecrate his body after he dies.

In the 2024 election, if we manage to elect a conservative President
and the Republicans regain control of the Senate, then I expect that Clarence Thomas will step down sometime before the 2026 election, probably after the 2025 Supreme Court term. If we do not elect a conservative President or if the democrats retain control of the Senate, then I do not expect Justice Thomas to step down until he drops.
There really is nothing that the left can say or do to force him to step down. Even if the democrats retake control of the House and they impeach him, they will never get the 2/3 vote in the Senate necessary to remove him.

The fascist left has run their “get the n-—ga” campaign against Thomas since his nomination. Just can’t take the Jim Crow out of the Dems.

The Washington Post telling the truth? Come on man! You’ve got a better chance to sell parkas in Hell when it freezes over than the WashCompost telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

“Thomas said his colleagues assured him was not reportable”
Some of his colleagues are not trustworthy and are probably the source of this information reaching the leftwing media.
That being said, Pelosi, Biden, et al, have been on the take in broad daylight for many years.
These urinalists are not worthy to lick Thomas’ shoe leather.
