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,

All Supreme Court justices have white spouses. Including Jumanji when she becomes one.

If anything relating to the 2020 election or the January 6th activities reaches the Supreme Court this will be used to demand Justice Thomas recuse himself and if he doesn't then to cast doubts on any resulting decisions.

And what is the problem with this? I don’t give damn about anything written in the NY Slimes. I highly doubt what is being report is accurate anyway, even if it is it sounds good to me.

My question is why did Meadows turn over anything to an illegally constituted “Special Committee”? No one should have cooperated in any way with this gang of liars and thieves.

Here’s the tip-off this is nothing more than gaslighting: ”according to a person with knowledge of the texts.” The old anonymous source is a journalistic trick. Don’t fall for it. Non attributable sources is a dead giveaway when spreading false accusations.

I don’t care.

Biden conspired with big tech and the media to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop. Before that they conspired to take out Trump with a fake dossier.

Now they act incredulous over a private citizen.

F**k them.

I know. I was just making a joke about their orwellian term for genial mutilation: gender confirmation surgery.

The narrative will now be Clarence Thomas makes judgments according to his wife’s conservative views and needs to step down. Will the left try to lock her up with the jan 6 political prisoners

”according to a person with knowledge of the texts.”

This should be at the beginning of the article, more than likely a pack of liberal lies, or maybe it was Liz or Adam that thought they read it.

There was no need to “overturn” the vote - just count it honestly.
