Now that we have evidence that Clarence Thomas has committed a crime by failing to report the “sale” of his house to his rich benefactor, who proceeded to let Clarence’s Mom continue to live there (rent free I’m sure) while paying for improvements to the place and the property taxes, it would seem that Clarence should get the same treatment any other criminal should get. Of course we wouldn’t want politics to factor in, so appointment of a special prosecutor would seem the thing. I think John Durham is still busy, so we’d have to find someone else, but I’m sure there’s someone out there of Durham’s stature (or even greater stature!) who can take on the case.
Poor Clarence. It must be terrible to be subjected to the unfair attacks on him. I mean he’s telling everyone that he never discussed pending cases with Harlan Crow, and we should all believe the guy who told us that he prefers to vacation at Walmart parking lots.
I’m not practicing anymore, but had I known that a judge hearing a case of mine was enjoying a lifestyle costing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year subsidized by a person whose interests might be adverse to the position I was taking, I would worry that the judge in question might not want to jeopardize that flow of money by ruling against his or her rich benefactor’s interests. That’s just me, I guess, since Republican politicians are assuring us that Thomas has no conceivable conflict of interest.
