Fani is laundering money, Thomas is filling a stringer with Brook Trout. Big difference.

ore than two months after authorizing subpoenas for key figures in the Supreme Court’s ethics controversies, Senate Democrats have yet to issue them. The delay has caused outside activists to demand that Democrats press ahead with their investigation.
On Nov. 30, the Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee voted to approve subpoenas for Republican donor Harlan Crow and conservative legal activist Leonard Leo after the two men had refused to voluntarily provide all the information requested by the committee about gifts for Supreme Court justices.
“Both Leonard Leo and Harlan Crow are central players in this crisis,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said at the time. “Their attempts to thwart legitimate oversight efforts of Congress should concern all of us.”
Durbin on issuing the subpoenas'- “Still working on it.”
The decision to authorize subpoenas came in response to stories by ProPublica that detailed how, for decades, Crow had paid for lavish vacations for Justice Clarence Thomas. In 2014, Crow purchased Thomas’ mother’s home in Georgia. Crow even paid private school tuition for Thomas’ grandnephew, whom the justice said he was raising “as a son.”
not saying that being a good caretaker needs to be criminalized, but Thomas not declaring things like purchase of a home- (inflated price), or private education- $$$$ etc. is not some small meaningless contribution. Nor is it a stringer of fish as you might claim. It's closer to 200-250k in values all in. Maybe more.
Thomas has said that he did not need to disclose the free vacations and that he didn’t report the real estate sale because he misunderstood the rules.
How fucking rich is that?
The judge didn't understand either the law or the rules. Clarence doesn't know them rules, or 'da laws'....cause you know- He's a SCOTUS! Doesn't need them!
You cannot make that shit up!!
