Will Jenni Thomas and her SCOTUS husband be called in before the House Jan 6 committee?

About knowledge and possible payments made for transportation for the rioters?

1. My thoughts exactly. No clean hands on either part.

3. No

Such conspiracy theories have been debunked and have no place in a congressional hearing.

5. We already know that link is rather tenuous.

It stems from a Daily Kos writer making too-sweeping connections of several dots:

1) Ginni Thomas enthusiastically tweeting in support of the mob at Trump's rally (tweets she deleted after it turned violent);

2) In the days leading up to it, Charlie Kirk boasted that his organizations, Turning Point USA and Turing Point USA Action, would be sending “80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president”; and

3) Ginni Thomas had been a member of the large "advisory board" of TP USA (one of up to 75 members), but apparently had not served in that role since early 2019.


Now, it might be worth having her appear "just to clear up this rumor" as a means to publicly highlight some of these secretive conservative/RW connections, but there really isn't a viable legal connection (that we know of) to make claims about "possible payments."

6. Thank you. With so much sedition and insurrection throughout the republican party it's difficult

sometimes to keep the domestic terrorists and their enablers straight. I learned from your post this morning and I applaud your measured, polite reply to the OP.

7. This needs to be front and center Treason or Seditious behavior

Undermines not only the rule of law by the courts highest decisions, but our democracy is dependent on justice for those that attack it, no matter who.
