The politically-driven controversy started when a fake bipartisan watchdog group called ProPublica issued a report on the close relationship between Justice Thomas, his wife Ginni, and a Texas billionaire named Harlan Crow. Supposedly, Justice Thomas accepted lavish gifts and trips paid for by a Texas billionaire, and allegedly engaged in questionable real estate transactions and payments.
That was all Dems needed to hear and they were quickly off to the races, demanding that Chief Justice John Roberts testify before Congress and take action against Thomas ethical violations.
Meanwhile, its curious that the identity of the Supreme Court leaker remains a mystery. One cant help but wonder why Dems are so focused on the Thomas situation when the leaker is still on the loose.
