OMG, Jack Smith's wife is a Democrat! Get the smelling salts.

The title of the article: "Trump Special Counsel's Wife Prompts Ginni Thomas Comparison"

Katy Chevigny, who is married to Smith, has become the focus of attention because of the fact she served as a producer on the 2020 Michelle Obama documentary Becoming.

Publicly available records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show Chevigny gave two separate donations of $1,000 each in support of President Biden's 2020 campaign. . .

Critics were quick to take aim Chevigny and Smith for the apparent connection to the Democrats, and some social media users responded by pointing to the controversy surrounding Thomas. . .

"Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by AG Garland to go after President Trump, is married to a woman who was not only a donor to the Biden campaign, but also a producer of the Michelle Obama documentary. CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!" tweeted veteran James Bradley.

Yes, donating to a political campaign is exactly like being Ginny Thomas.

[Ocelot II]

1. The horror... the horror....

[LuckyCharms]

3. Or, as Elmer Fudd says:

The howwer...the howwer

[TheBlackAdder]

28. After all, Bill Clinton's Special Prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, was a life-long Democrat!

.




I was just highlighting how preposterous the Republicans feigned vapors of concern are.


.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Ginni Thomas is appalled.

[KS Toronado]

21. And Susan Collins is concerned.

[GreenWave]

4. Heaven forbid a Democrat be

interviewed by the J-6 committee.
Director of the FBI.
allowed to investigate IQ 45.
and on and on....

[Mad_Machine76]

27. Allowed to breathe?

Allowed to vote, etc.

[gab13by13]

5. This was so predictable,

Trump and the MSM have their narrative to run with.

Trump should have been indicted long ago, the longer it takes the harder it gets. DOJ knew about these classified documents a year and a half ago.

[LakeArenal]

6. Legal donations I might add.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. And John Durham and Ken Starr were Republicans

As are Comey and Strzok, and I believe McCabe but not sure on that one.

These people can shut the fuck up.

[gab13by13]

10. It doesn't matter

right wing domestic oligarchs control the MSM. Yesterday Fox was calling Jack Smith a Democrat when he is a registered Independent.

Ginni Thomas should be before a grand jury but instead there will be cries for Jack Smith to recuse himself.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. If Dems/Garland cave on this bullshit I'll be livid ... I'll leave it at that (nt)

[iemanja]

15. I doubt McCabe is a Republican anymore.

Trump really mistreated him.

[MyMission]

20. Liz is still one, so McCabe probably is too

They shouldn't be, but I doubt they will leave their party. And if they do they'd become unaffiliated right leaning voters. I read that McCabe's wife is a Dem, ran for office.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Too bad, so sad

They lose. HER work has nothing to do with his.

She's also not a crook.

No collusion!

[PCIntern]

9. Probably a three-digit IQ as well.

[kentuck]

11. Did! Dig! Dig!

Find that dirt!

Protect the criminal from facing justice.

[TigressDem]

13. SHALL WE COMPARE?

How exactly does a spouse having an opinion create a conflict of interest?


VS

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/mar/25/ginni-thomas-texts-clarence-ethics-supreme-court-conflict-of-interest


That Ginni Thomas was using her considerable network of contacts to try to subvert democracy came as little surprise to close observers of US politics. For decades she has acted as a prominent champion of ultra-rightwing causes, heading her own lobbying firm, Liberty Consulting, since 2010.


https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/jan/28/clarence-thomas-supreme-court-affirmative-action-case-ginni-thomas

SFFA’s lawsuit seeking to strike down affirmative action has received the enthusiastic backing of the conservative National Association of Scholars. It filed an amicus brief in support of the suit, accusing Harvard admissions officials of being prejudiced against Asian students and stereotyping them as “uninteresting, uncreative and one-dimensional”.

Ginni Thomas sits on the advisory board of the National Association of Scholars. Observers are concerned that her position with a group that has intervened in the affirmative action case could present appearances of conflict of interest.

SUPPORT FOR THE INSURRECTION

On the morning of the January 6 itself, Mark Joseph Stern of Slate reported, Thomas posted on her Facebook page words of encouragement for the “Stop the Steal” marchers in Washington. “LOVE MAGA people!!!!”, she said., “GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU STANDING UP or PRAYING!”

An even more direct intervention in the politics surrounding Trump and the big lie was made last December when Thomas joined 62 other influential conservatives in signing an open letter to the leader of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy. It urged him to expel the Congress members Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the Republican party.

Their sin, the letter writers opined, was to serve on the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. They described the committee as an “overtly partisan political persecution that brings disrespect to our country’s rule of law [and] legal harassment to private citizens who have done nothing wrong”.


Should the rightwing majority around Thomas use its newfound muscle to ban affirmative action, as is widely predicted, it would mark the negation of more than 30 years of settled constitutional law on the matter. What lies ahead bears strong resemblance to Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that made abortion legal which the court is probably poised to weaken or even overturn outright.

OVERTURNING ROE
Mayer points out in the New Yorker that an amicus brief was filed in the supreme court case challenging Roe by Robert George who also sits on the advisory board of the National Association of Scholars alongside Ginni Thomas.

DARK MONEY and a PRO tRump student group ADVISOR

She has been one of the directors of C.N.P. Action, a dark-money wing of the conservative pressure group the Council for National Policy. C.N.P. Action, behind closed doors, connects wealthy donors with some of the most radical right-wing figures in America. Ginni Thomas has also been on the advisory board of Turning Point USA, a pro-Trump student group, whose founder, Charlie Kirk, boasted of sending busloads of protesters to Washington on January 6th.

GOING AFTER FORMER CLERKS OF HER HUSBAND to peddle the election lie.
Later that January, the Washington Post revealed that she had also been agitating about Trump’s loss on a private Listserv, Thomas Clerk World, which includes former law clerks of Justice Thomas’s. The online discussion had been contentious. John Eastman, a former Thomas clerk and a key instigator of the lie that Trump actually won in 2020, was on the same side as Ginni Thomas, and he drew rebukes

I could probably go on....


BUT IT LOOKS LIKE POINT MADE



It is ONE thing to have an opinion, support certain candidates, tell their story.



IF GINNY THOMAS STOPPED AT THAT, it would be one thing.

BUT SHE ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN LOBBYING FOR A PARTICULAR PARTY, finding donors, finding protestors, going after former law clerks and spreading the big lie. Supporting OVERTURNING LAWS that her husband is making decisions about.

16. Wow.. not even a

smidgeon !

Thank you for all your reporting on this, Tigressdem!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. This is a bogus objection

[gab13by13]

17. Matt Gaetz says he will defund the special counsel

because of his wife's involvement in the film.

[iemanja]

24. Can he do that?

Or rather can the House do that?

[yankee87]

18. Reich Wing MSM

We all know the Reich wing media will run with this narrative the same way they destroyed Hillary Clinton. Might as well let them whine and complain and just go ahead with the prosecution of the traitor,45.

[Samrob]

19. Well, at least she hasn't tried to have a national election overturned. Nt

[GoCubsGo]

22. Get back to me when she drunk-dials Anita Hill, and screams at her for

showing what a despicable sack of garbage her husband is. Until then, I don't want to hear about it.

[republianmushroom]

23. and there shall be no delay

From Europe, Trump special counsel takes over Mar-a-Lago, Jan. 6 probes

25. Doesn't even come close to the very apparent conflict with Justice Thomas and his wife Ginny.

[applegrove]

26. Michelle Obama is the most popular political person in the US. So there

is that.
