Harlan Crow
The Minnesota Democrat’s primary challenge to President Joe Biden has been off to a rocky start.
Rep. Dean Phillips got a $2,800 donation in 2019 from Harlan Crow, the Texas billionaire who is close to Justice Clarence Thomas.
Thomas should be forced to recuse himself from hearing cases brought by groups that he helps fundraise for and who fly him on private jets.
Laws meant to protect public figures from dangerous stalkers also make it extremely difficult to hold government officials to account.
Clarence Thomas has been the decisive vote on a number of cases that benefitted the people who were economically benefitting him.
The billionaire’s generosity to the Supreme Court justice and his family raise a whole lot of questions about whether the “gifts” were declared properly.
Imagine George Soros paying Ketanji Brown Jackson’s kid’s lavish boarding school tuition, because that’s what conservative billionaire Harlan Crow did for Thomas’ great-nephew.
