11 hours ago · Justice Clarence Thomas allegedly sold properties in Savannah, Georgia, to Texas billionaire and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow in 2014 and did not report the transactions in


A company owned by Crow purchased multiple properties in Savannah owned by Thomas and his family members, according to state tax documents and a deed filed at the Chatham County courthouse in October 2014.

• That year, Thomas did not reveal the transactions in financial disclosure forms and potentially violated a post-Watergate federal law that requires justices and other officials to disclose most real estate sales over $1,000.
• One of the properties Crow purchased was the home of Thomas’ mother, where the justice spent some of his childhood. Thomas' mother still lives in the home, neighbors told ProPublica, but thousands of dollars worth of improvements were made to the residence after Crow bought it.
• Crow bought the properties through a Texas company, Savannah Historic Developments LLC, which shares a Dallas address with Crow Holdings, the multi-billion dollar real estate investment and development firm founded by Crow's father.

Ah, a little underhanded, below the radar dealing. Perhaps the Senate needs to hold hearing on these matters, at the very least.

Saddam made us think he had an active program.

He probably did, but he gave the perception that he had WMD because he wanted to frighten Iran. Our intelligence should never have taken the word of his son in law. Our intel failed and it cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars. And now Iran has the upper hand in Iraq.

Oh it keeps getting worse

A federal disclosure law passed after Watergate requires justices and other officials to disclose the details of most real estate sales over $1,000. Thomas never disclosed his sale of the Savannah properties. That appears to be a violation of the law, four ethics law experts told ProPublica.

The transaction marks the first known instance of money flowing from the Republican megadonor to the Supreme Court justice.

The purchase put Crow in an unusual position: He now owned the house where the justice’s elderly mother was living.

In a statement, Crow said he purchased Thomas’ mother’s house, where Thomas spent part of his childhood, to preserve it for posterity. “My intention is to one day create a public museum at the Thomas home dedicated to telling the story of our nation’s second black Supreme Court Justice,” he said.

"Potentially"?... "Most"?

Those are some weasel words right there. Fake news purveyors just love to use those weasel words.

[struth]

he broke ethics rules of 1978, written after watergate...any gift above $450 has to be declared.

and Crow donate to a POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE of his wife Ginny....for $500,000 of which she was PAID +/- $150,000.

now you tell me, that Ginny, talked to crow about the PAC, and got $500 k from Crow, and Clarence didn't know about it? Clarence wasn't part of the conversation? There was no knowledge by clarence?

Utter bull shit!

What Thomas has done in not declaring these gifts and Crow as the donor is not unethical, according to you lawless Trumpers....?

How low, will you go Mr. Slithering snake?

um that rule doesn’t allow to sumpter court justices

it does apply to members of congress like AOC who violated them by taking illegal gifts to the Met Gala

Uh… being bought and paid for.

 

[Muhammed]

Uh… being bought and paid for.

Howso? Do you have any compelling evidence to back up your stupidly ridiculous accusation, commie bitchboy party of slavery supporter?

 

[Penelope]

Now the billionaire owns him.

 

[Penelope]

It’s very likely others on the SC and judges throughout our justice system do similar things. Corruption reigns. However with any hope, Thomas will face consequences.

What are the consequences?

Did she not declare it?

That is a terrible thing to say about Thomas
