Ginni Thomas pressed Trump’s chief of staff to overturn 2020 vote, texts show

In the weeks between the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent a barrage of text messages imploring President Donald Trump’s chief of staff to take steps to overturn the vote, according to a person with knowledge of the texts.

In one message sent in the days after the election, she urged the chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to “release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down,” invoking a slogan popular on the right that refers to a web of conspiracy theories that Trump supporters believed would overturn the election.

In another, she wrote: “I can’t see Americans swallowing the obvious fraud. Just going with one more thing with no frickin consequences.” She added: “We just cave to people wanting Biden to be anointed? Many of us can’t continue the GOP charade.”

The contents of the texts were reported earlier by The Washington Post and CBS News. They were among about 9,000 pages of documents that Meadows turned over to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The texts detailed Meadows’ interactions with Republican politicians as they planned strategies to try to keep Trump in office in the weeks before the riot.

The committee obtained 29 texts between Thomas and Meadows — 28 exchanged between Nov. 4 and Nov. 24, and one written on Jan. 10. The text messages, most of which were written by Thomas, represent the first evidence that she was directly advising the White House as it sought to overturn the election. In fact,

Did Clarence Thomas’ wife use her connections inside the FBI and DOJ to lie to the Fisa court on multiple occasions in order to launch a fraudulent wiretap against President-elect Biden’s team? Use legal trickery to sabotage and ultimately cancel his national security advisor? Conspire with DOJ senior officials to get Merrick Garland to recuse himself from oversight into the investigation so it could run unimpeded?

I think we all know the answer to those questions, but more importantly than that, if all of the above was true and actually somehow happened by the hand of the wife of a supreme court justice... it would only have been fair given the rules of the game that the Dems and the Clinton/Obama crew were playing by.

There are differing reports online now on whether she was cremated later and/or autopsied. A ruling was made by the ME in MA that it was drowning.

There ARE remains buried somewhere, but this whole story has now entered the ‘fog of revisionist history’ IMO, so it will never likely be truly known now that Ted is gone and the Kennedys’ Camelot is finished. I was going on what I remember from the time.

Overturn a highly suspect “vote count”? Voting data and metrics that defied all previous 60 years collected data? Counting going on in major dimocrap cities for weeks on end until declaring a winner? Lack of chain of custody on votes or responsible auditing?

I can’t see Americans swallowing the obvious fraud.

Well the MSM and social media have made an effort to quash any intelligent questioning about the obvious fraud, even to the point of threat of losing their livelihoods. However, polls have been moving to the obvious; Americans know there was widespread fraud.

For years I've had what we for a while called a "man crush" on Clarence.

I've got me a woman crush on his wife. LOL

This is the left’s attempt at getting rid of Justice Thomas. We are seeing more and more of these stories about the activism of his wife, as if that would be a cause for impeachment.

Not so much an overthrow but election confirmation surgery.

The Left and the anti-MAGA machine's constant drumbeat with the sinister words "overturn" and "overturn" is an in-your-face middle finger to every American.

Every reasonably well-educated voter knows the Constitution and subsequent statutes provide the means to challenge the results of a presidential election and that such means are available up to the moment the Special Session is concluded.

The Jan 6 event was specifically designed to short circuit the Session; Pelosi was determined to not use security forces that may have provided an orderly process.
