Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday formally disclosed a 2019 trip to Indonesia paid for by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, a vacation that was at the center of the controversy over his travel.
The trip to Bali was the focus of the original report in ProPublica last year that triggered months of headlines about posh travel accepted by justices. Though the news organization’s reporting raised awareness of the trip, Thomas did not formally disclose it on his previous reports.
Thomas’ annual financial disclosure, which would typically disclose travel, gifts and outside income for the prior year, included a note at the end listing Harlan and Kathy Crow as the source of a trip to Bali in July 2019. The couple paid for “food and lodging,” according to the report. Thomas did not place a value on the travel.
“There, I disclosed my bribes, are you happy now?” (edit:spelling)
Yeah but who bribed him to disclose this?
Might be a solicitation for bribes from Congress. He’s made his message clear that he wants more money and Congress certainly has the power to grant that. I don’t think it would stop him from screwing over minorities tho.
Congress can help by impeaching him and removing him from office, then he can take his RV cross-country on a speaking tour talking about how unfair it all is and he can rake in the dough without having to report any of it
More likely he is doing this so Congress stops bugging him for taking bribes.
