Clarence Thomas sold real estate to donor, didn’t report deal, according to report

Conservative mega-donor Harlan Crow purchased three properties belonging to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his family, in a transaction worth more than $100,000 that Thomas never reported, according to the non-profit investigative journalism organization ProPublica.

ProPublica previously revealed that Thomas and his wife Ginni were gifted with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of annual vacations and trips by Crow for decades — including international cruises on his mega-yacht, private jet flights and stays at Crow’s invitation-only resort in the Adirondacks. But the 2014 real estate deal is the first public evidence of a direct financial transaction between the pair.

Federal officials, including Supreme Court justices, are required to disclose the details of most real estate transactions with a value of over $1,000. Thomas would not be required to report the purchase if the property was his or his spouse’s primary personal residence, but this stipulation does not apply to this purchase, which Thomas did not report.

That cell is going to be f’n crowded

acoyne Maybe do some research. Supreme Court Judges did not have to report until 2023 And journalist Andrew Coyne just follows like a sheep.

acoyne Rules for thee but not for me. Resign already

A canadian news outlet reporting on a US judge? it's just disgusting!

Better check if the deal was done at or above FMV at that time.

RobertFife Why are Canadian newspapers jumping in on this stuff from the US against a black Supreme Court Justice? Seems odd. Maybe just me.

TDotResident He sold the property that his mother still lives in - did she come with the deal?

This guy would make a good replacement for the Trudeau foundation executives that resigned.

Starting a run for president?

Blatant political propaganda. Panic

acoyne Russians did that with Trump.

acoyne It was really just an exchange of complete altruistic gifts!

Is that the Left's tactic from now on? Throw desperate smears about Thomas against the wall, and hope something sticks?

Something pressing overcame what judgment he might have summoned up.

And nothing will happen, except PP will blame Trudeau.
