A pair of Senate Democrats has asked the Justice Department to criminally investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over travel given as gifts and a loan for a luxury car from wealthy donor friends.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on federal courts, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden of Oregon sent a letter last week asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to examine whether Thomas violated federal ethics and tax laws when he didn't disclose as income more than $267,000 of a loan that was allegedly forgiven in 2008.

Really want a shooting war, don’t they?

A lot of payback for the crap they have pulled in recent years.

Their commandeurs/drivers are not being obeyed by Thomas. Ergo, he must be punished. Not much has changed in the last 200 years on the Demo plantation.

They want violence.

It’s the only thing that they know how to deal with effectively.

iirc.....garlik breath cant appoint a special council on his own without consent of congress, congressional consent is required .

..

In addition, the Act gives certain congressional committee members the power to “request in writing that the Attorney General apply for the appointment of an independent counsel.” § 592(g)(1).
https://supreme.justia.com › federal
Morrison v. Olson :: 487 U.S. 654 (1988)

...
....

The Special Counsel shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a term of 5 years.
https://uscode.house.gov › view › s...
5 USC PART II, CHAPTER 12, SUBCHAPTER II..

//

...

but these rogues have made it their forte to hijack each others jobs , authority and responsibilities...and make a mockery of the separation of powers.

They want not separation, but consolidation of powers.
