Democratic senators ask attorney general to criminally investigate Clarence Thomas

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.

Merrick Garland does NOT have the power to investigate a Supreme Court Justice. Department of Justice was created by the House of Representatives many years ago. If these two clown Senators want to try Thomas, then they must IMPEACH him themselves and then make a referral to Justice Department. Same as impeaching a President.

We are talking about trying to remove part of one of the separate Branchs of our Constitutional Republic.

Blatant couple of real liars. Garland does anything at this late date in a demented president’s office and he will be in world of trouble.

Ron Wyden is nearly as demented as Biden. He can’t locate geographic places in the world on a map! Demonstrated many times.

The RAT party should be considered a domestic terrorist organization.

Trump says if he’s elected he won’t go after them, get revenge, get payback.

Trump doesn't have to go after them. If they broke the law, hopefully our Justice Department will do it's job. No Sessions or Barrs please. I say think Bannon would be a good AG.
