Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

[Harpy Eagle]

The Supreme Court keeps written records. Mr. Crow has never had a case before it.

So, it is your claim that not one single case before the SCOTUS during all the time the two were friends did not benefit Mr Crow?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It just gets sleazier and sleazier.



In 2014, one of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow’s companies purchased a string of properties on a quiet residential street in Savannah, Georgia. It wasn’t a marquee acquisition for the real estate magnate, just an old single-story home and two vacant lots down the road. What made it noteworthy were the people on the other side of the deal: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his relatives.

The transaction marks the first known instance of money flowing from the Republican megadonor to the Supreme Court justice. The Crow company bought the properties for $133,363 from three co-owners — Thomas, his mother and the family of Thomas’ late brother, according to a state tax document and a deed dated Oct. 15, 2014, filed at the Chatham County courthouse.


Justice Thomas's mother still lives in the House the billionaire bought.


The disclosure form Thomas filed for that year also had a space to report the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, such as a real estate deal. That space is blank.

“He needed to report his interest in the sale,” said Virginia Canter, a former government ethics lawyer now at the watchdog group CREW. “Given the role Crow has played in subsidizing the lifestyle of Thomas and his wife, you have to wonder if this was an effort to put cash in their pockets.”

It’s unclear if Crow paid fair market value for the Thomas properties. Crow also bought several other properties on the street and paid significantly less than his deal with the Thomases. One example: In 2013, he bought a pair of properties on the same block — a vacant lot and a small house — for a total of $40,000.

ZOMG a black guy owning property ?!! Is that legal? You got him now!

Exactly correct.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Exactly correct.

Then you are even more ignorant than I ever suspected.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Thomas was added to the Board of a Ukrainian gas company too!

He sold his art work for $500,000!

So no other SCOTUS justice ever sold property?

Katie "MS-13" Hobbs sold a property a week to the Cartels

You got the black guy! Goodly!

 

[Polishprince]

Then you are even more ignorant than I ever suspected.

What case are you referring to? Mr. Crow does have a number of lawyers on retainer- being a billionaire after all. Which ones were arguing for Mr. Crow's interests and what were the cases?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

A black guy owning property -- with his relatives!!! Has that ever happened before??!!!

I'm still shocked that a black man was allowed to own property....isn't that really what's got the Progressive Jihadists so upset?

I mean the Biden's and Hobbs just sold their offices, Thomas sold an asset

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Disclose to whom? And why?

I guess if he had a taxable gain on the property, Justice Thomas would have to disclose it on his income tax. Do you have proof he had a gain that wasn't reported?

Joe Biden collected $49,000 in MONTHLY rent from Hunter on a home worth $4,000/month and he never reported that to the IRS

He didn't have to disclouse anything....and a vacant lot, is worth a lot less then a lot with a home already on it....geez....

No one knew about Thomas's free gifts from the billionaire until now.

This is not the first time he has not reported gifts or income. Not even the second time.

Since when are JUDGES, of all people, above the law?



High crimes and MISDEMEANORS, dipshit. You certainly have a very selective brain.

A mistake? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Do we really want a judge who can't even understand the most basic laws about disclosure? Seriously?

Are you really so stupid as to bleev Thomas's MULTIPLE infractions were "mistakes"?

I keep forgetting just how credulous you rubes are, but then you keep reminding me.

What's the "Crime"?

A black guy owning property -- with his relatives!!! Has that ever happened before??!!!

I think the real problem the leftards have is the fact that a black guy would actually socialize with a white guy.

There has to be something amiss when the races hang out socially in the leftard mind. That's why they insist and enforce segregation on the yards in the California penal system- keeping the whites and blacks and Mexicans separated.

To quote Far Left Democrat Ted Bilbo from several decades ago "Take your choice- separation or mongrelization".

This is really is what gets the Demaklan upset.....they need minorities dependent, not free thinking and self-reliant

Tards: Selling the VP Office; Meh, no hard no foul. A Black Conservative owning and selling property in the South . Get the rope!

When they're lead by the Bidens too! And have a Governor in AZ who sold a property a week to the Sinaloa Cartel it's just breaks every hypocrisy meter in the entire Universe

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And have a Governor in AZ who sold a property a week to the Sinaloa Cartel

 

[Clipper]

If the Bidens didn't report millions from China does Thomas have to report money from this land sale?

Gee, who knew that Clarence Thomas would end up being billionaire ****** Harlan Crow's "boy"?

Does Thomas serve Crow his coffee, light his cigar & mix his drinks when they get together at Crow's palatial estate?

"Hey boy light my cigar" & Thomas comes a runnin'! "Yes Masta"!

 

[gtopa1]

The purchase included three properties, one of which was Thomas's mother's house. And she still lives there.

The properties were purchased at a price almost triple the value of what Thomas has claimed the properties are worth.

The man is a crook who takes bribes.

$130000/3= $43333.33 THAT was his share IF he got anything.

You really aren't very bright old son!!!

One of my friends was a Black chap in Darwin. He was an excellent Chess player and an avowed Communist who owned several properties(go figure). We talked extensively about Culture, Politics and any other topic that came up. He was a decent chap with a dark past; a good bloke who had turned his life around and had a wonderful family and great kids. Ted Bilbo seems to have been something of a wanker.

Thomas has failed time and time again to disclose financial transactions he was supposed to disclose. He has filed amendments after amendments ONLY after getting caught.

At some point you have to hold the man accountable and impeach him.
'

He has no obligation to file any thing...you lie
