Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), vice chair of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, on Sunday said the panel will “contemplate a subpoena” for Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, if she does not voluntarily come forward.
It would be nice to know if the insurrectionist camp sent out feelers to our illustrious scotus about possible support for killing our democracy. Not that we’d ever hear about it from anybody’s actual testimony.
Barring that, it would be nice to catch ginni lying under oath - a greater possibility since she’s a committed republican.
Jaysus. Just issue the subpoena, then negotiate terms, if you wish to negotiate terms. But if that doesn’t work out, you can just command her presence for testimony and production of docs on YOUR schedule, which is already very tight.
Does anyone find the arrogance of these people astounding, as I do? Ginni Thomas is a blight on all the sections of the government, yet she’s untouchable because of her spouse. Why is it that she gets special handling, given what she’s done in the last two years? The evidence is there - it’s not hearsay (or heresy, as some idiot tweeted last week). If it were you or I with this nonsense, do you think there would be a ‘contemplation of a subpoena’?
There’s apparently some unwritten rule somewhere. Kind of like not indicting a sitting President, but no one can find the truly legal substantiation of this.
We have a bunch of sheer cowards in control here. I’m tired of the namby-pamby handling of this. Just do it, already.
Doubtless, TrumpWorld sighed in relief that the J6 will not meet for Hearings until September…completely overlooking events like the one we are commenting on now.
Right. The wife of a Supreme Court Justice urging a President’s Chief of Staff to keep pushing an anti-democratic “Big Lie of a stolen election” is “entirely unremarkable.”
And, of course, within today’s Republican Party: it is. In the same way that, when you’re in the Mafia, ordering a hit job is entirely unremarkable.
[“The committee previously asked Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist, to testify and provide documents related to its investigation. Thomas’ lawyer, Mark Paoletta, expressed reluctance for his client to cooperate in a letter to the committee late last month. Paoletta requested the panel provide ‘better justification’ for why it wants his client’s testimony.”]
“better justification”=The Republic having been attacked…
