Thanks, Robert, for this very revealing history, tracing the network of connections. Very helpful in putting the facts all together. Much regarding the conspiracy is now getting clear.
I admire how steady the Committee members are. They're doing a beautiful job. All of this leaves me feeling sickened, saddened, and very old. I hope our country can move past it, safely.
Thomas is corrupt and should be impeached or forced to resign. His traitor wife should be arrested and prosecuted. And ANY Congressman who aided members of the insurrection mob should be removed from office and prosecuted.
I strongly suspect that even if Justice Thomas didn’t take a direct part in his wife’s efforts to overthrow Biden, including getting in contact with Eastman, he still knew what his wife was doing and possibly approved of it.
Interesting, it makes sense that Thomas would be involved. More interesting if she testifies. It's looking increasingly like Trump is toast to me. The wealthiest people on earth have used their money to convince the most gullible people on earth to support the most dangerous political organization on earth, the GOP. They are planning to gain control of the most deadly military on earth with the most nuclear weapons on earth to consolidate their power. I doubt the public will allow this to happen, but it will take some heavy lifting going into November to stop them. Luttig is dead right.
We've known for sometime his wife interfered with the election results but now the spotlight is brighter. Good time for Thomas to resign. Robert's recusing him is enabling him and weakening the court even more than it already has been.
I have had a low opinion of Mike Pence, having lived through four years of his term as governor, but in this case, he certainly came across as the hero of the day.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse pointed out last night that Chief Justice John Roberts was so outraged over the publication of a draft opinion that had circulated, but he has said not a word about the clear evidence of corruption by Clarence Thomas. The Supreme Court, which we taxpayers fund: their salaries, perks, protection, building maintenance, etc., acts like an elitist secret Skull and Bones society. Reform is badly needed.
Thomas needs to be recalled off the court ,along with the POS wife of his! Loved Hershfeld, and "find a great defense attorney ". They should all be in jail!
. I still believe Anita Hill. Thomas should never have been nominated for the Supreme Court. He has and has never had a moral leg to stand on. Ditto for his beer buddy Kavanaugh.
I think what retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig said during his testimony at today’s Jan 6 committee hearing sums up a lot about the horror of what one repulsive individual is capable of when he is so enabled by plenty of other despicable people;
“Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy”.
For those of you who missed the hearing today (as I did) it will be aired again this evening on PBS. 🌻
How this Criminal In Chief can possibly be allowed to run again and how he is still allowed to be on the street is way beyond my imagination. The success of the Jan 6th Committee will be determined by whether Trump is charged, prosecuted and found guilty of his many many crimes.
I'm still betting that Ginni is the primary bridge between SCOTUS and the Right Wing clowns. Interesting that she has offered to sit with the Committee. I sure hope they take her up on it and see if she follows through. It'll also be interesting to see if she follows her stated opinion that "there are no rules in warfare" and proceeds to lie through her teeth under oath.
I found Luttig's testimony quite interesting this morning. He was obviously very uncomfortable, and I was uncertain during his testimony whether he was there under subpoena or if he was a willing participant. I also wondered at times if he was a bit senile. He left no uncertainty, however, when he seemingly happily responded to Bennie's offer to give closing remarks. WOW!

Wow, you don't say? What more proof do we need? These people need to be held accountable and put in prison.

Republicans must be dumber than dirt to believe that the Vice President can override the votes of the voters.
As the judge testified, the past threat to our democracy has now switched to the future threat to our election system.

Justice Thomas is an insurrection lover and needs to retire. His two pro trump votes show this.
