An attorney for Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told the House Jan. 6 Committee that it has “no basis” to interview her and needs “better justification” to agree to do so.
Thomas’s emails to former President Donald Trump’s legal counsel John Eastman after the 2020 presidential election caught the committee’s attention. Thomas also emailed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows supporting the overturning of the election.
“Mrs. Thomas is eager to clear her name and is willing to appear before the Committee to do so,” attorney Mark R. Paoletta wrote in the letter, according to NBC News. “However, based on my understanding of the communications that spurred the Committee’s request, I do not understand the need to speak with Mrs. Thomas.
“Before I can recommend that she meet with you, I am asking the Committee to provide a better justification for why Mrs. Thomas’s testimony is relevant to the Committee’s legislative purpose.”
Rep. Bennie Thomas, the House Jan. 6 committee chair, said last week that while he is expecting Thomas to appear, the committee has not agreed on “the parameters” of the interview.
Paoletta charged that Thomas and her husband, one of the most conservative justices on the Supreme Court, has been subjected to death threats “and other abuses.”
He said emails and documents between Ginni Thomas and Eastman show no coordination between the two and do not rise to a level that they should be included in the investigation.

Truthfully—has there been any NEED for any of the testimony that has been given in this charade??
Last time I looked Ginni Thomas did not have a chair on the Supreme court. Trying to hold her husband responsible for the independently thinking wife exercising her rights or free opinions is like prosecuting Joe and holding him responsible for Hunter’s laptop revealed self-chosen, self-debasement. Apples that fall from the tree however land a lot closer to their parents than separately rooted productive trees whose reproductive pollen may drift in from a distance.
Only a people bent on party forced unity of thought without a right to individual dissent would believe all people must think and act alike, like the goose stepping National Socialists on this panel.
VE are da borg.. You vill be assimilated into our wokist culture.. You vill comply.
This is a fishing expidition, pure and simple. The purpose will be to humiliate the Justice through her since the kangaroo committee (disparaging to kangaroos) has no shame, no sense of propriety, when they are to target people thay want to destroy. No doubt the latest opinions authorer by the jurist will underlie what is asked on the surface.
Kangaroos are marsupials, a mammal of an order whose members are born incompletely developed and are typically carried and suckled in a pouch on the mother’s belly. Marsupials are found mainly in Australia and New Guinea, but the American versions are Opossums. Snarly rat faced beings like Liz Cheney pictured above, that when threatened or harmed will “Play Possum” mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick dead animal, up to and sometimes way past the time of elections, and in the company of their own kind resemble panels of sick and brain dead Democrats. She belongs back inside her Daddy’s protective pouch until such time as she fully develops, out of site and out of the minds of thinking Americans where Kangaroo courts can no longer court American disasters.
It certainly is a kangaroo court!
What a waste of time and Americans’ finances, and I would go further and say talent, but I can’t find any. Science Fiction has really hit bottom.
