Citing state tax documents and property deeds, ProPublica reported that one of Crow's companies paid $133,363 for the home in Savannah, Georgia where Thomas' mother was living, along with two nearby vacant lots that belonged to Thomas' family members. Thomas mother remained living in the home, which soon underwent tens of thousands of dollars in renovations.
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.
Both Thomas and Crow have released statements downplaying the significance of the gifts, with Thomas maintaining that he was not required to disclose the trips. Crow responded to the latest disclosure with a statement to ProPublica saying that he approached Thomas about the purchase with an eye on honoring his legacy.
“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," the statement said. “Justice Thomas’s story represents the best of America.”This article tagged under:

Justice Clarence Thomas deserves our praise and thanks, not Michael Tomasky’s unhinged attacksWe overuse the term “unhinged” in our political discourse, often attributing it to any passionate expression with which we disagree. However, one can hardly find a better descriptor of Michael Tomasky’s screed this week against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. His New Republic article… As far as I am concerned, Justice Thomas deserves and is entitled to go on any trip he wants, fully paid, and with our thanks for his defense of our constitution. Thanks for accepting bribes, Clarence! “Efforts” is doing tons of work. Apart from concurring with whatever Scalia had to say, Thomas has taken the great effort to get his law clerks to actually write something precious few times. He’s also corrupt AF (Crow) and married to an insane conspiracist and ex cult member

Report: Thomas sold real estate to donor, didn't report dealConservative 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. The 2014 real estate deal shines a new light on Thomas’s decades-old relationship with Crow, a real estate magnate and longtime financier for conservative causes. That relationship and the material benefits received by Thomas have fueled calls for an official ethics investigation. 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. Well…what’s the excuse now? Oh no…. And the black woman SCOTUS Justice doesn't know what a woman even is
