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.

the rats especially cheese on a raw hamburger Schumer put these ridiculous notions out there knowing they will go no where but stoking the flames, he and they are despicable humans. They are free to go after blacks in high position when they don’t fit their agenda. There focus now is the supreme court
They don’t care about a shooting war. They will grift whatever they can from us sheeple. Then when the shooting does start, they just board the planes donated by their donors to go live in their bunkers or foreign homes.
These Senators can go to Hell.
Leftists: Disagreeing with us is a criminal act.
Investigate Schumer for attempts to subvert Justice
He din do nuffin’.
Now de Rats turn on a black man.
Schumer and Schiff both have a lot to answer for. Why do they get away with disobeying the law/rules all the time?
A loan forgiven is not income, it’s money you don’t have to pay back... Remember Biden’s student loan forgiveness program. Are the millions he forgave up for tax fraud now?
You are darn right it is! This is putting a viper in with a puppy.
This crap needs to stop now.
This is like living in Venezuela.
No weaponization here.... move on.
Precisely!
One party control.
They are Demoncrats and props for the Junta, they don’t get persecuted for their despicable deeds.
Wanna bet these accusations were first privately delivered to the Supreme Court Justice as political pressure?
I want to know why the NY attorney general is not pressing charges against Biden and the Democrats for lying about his dementia to affect an election like they did with Trump?
It’s almost like, there are two justice systems in America now!

This is what a cornered wild animal does.
The IRS would disagree....
Re: 5 - there will be no “shooting war”.
Actually, potentially. A loan forgiven should generate a 1099. The IRS considers it “income.” The only way to NOT be taxed on those amounts is through bankruptcy.
That is one of the benefits of using bankruptcy vs. a debt consolidation buy down. One route is truly forgiven fresh start...the other is considered taxable income.
The Thomas debt in question was for a 1999 luxury RV. Forgiven in 2008? 11 years later? That looks like on the surface it was likely paid for over 10 years.
“Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You’re trying to keep our feelings off the street
You’re nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you’re nearly a treat
Mary you’re nearly a treat
But you’re really a cry”
