Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed Arizona lawmakers after the 2020 election to set aside Joe Biden’s popular-vote victory and choose “a clean slate of Electors,” according to emails obtained by The Washington Post.

The emails, sent by Ginni Thomas to a pair of lawmakers on Nov. 9, 2020, argued that legislators needed to intervene because the vote had been marred by fraud. Though she did not mention either candidate by name, the context was clear.

Just days after media organizations called the race for Biden in Arizona and nationwide, Thomas urged the lawmakers to “stand strong in the face of political and media pressure.” She told the lawmakers the responsibility to choose electors was “yours and yours alone” and said they have “power to fight back against fraud.”

Thomas sent the messages via an online platform designed to make it easy to send pre-written form emails to multiple elected officials, according to a review of the emails obtained under the state’s public records law.

The messages show that Thomas, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, was more deeply involved in the effort to overturn Biden’s win than has been previously reported. In sending the emails, Thomas played a role in the extraordinary scheme to keep Trump in office by substituting the will of legislatures for the will of voters.

1. Let the impeachment begin! And let her be treated they way the RW treated HRC. (trolling forever!)

[StarryNite]

2. Lock her up!

3. This is nuts!

4. I picture her smiling that smirkey smile simiarly if she were watching the gladiators being devoured

or massacred in the Roman Colosseum.

5. And how she pressured her husband on decisions.

6. Except for forums like DU, there is very little coverage of this

12. Our two tiered justice system is on world display.

J6 to DOJ, we are dragging our feet like a mob of zombies. Whether it’s slow walking, non enforcement, ignoring, or stepping back, it’s a weak and embarrassing look for our party and our nation.

7. My goodness!

Mrs. Thomas apparently has solid evidence of widespread voter fraud in Arizona as early as November 9, 2020. Evidence so persuasive that she reached out to not one, but two lawmakers in Arizona, urging them to overturn the will of the voters as expressed in the election results.

This seems like a subject to which she should be called to testify about under oath, doesn't it? I mean, she was so convinced of her evidence that she e-mailed two elected officials in Arizona to urge them to "fight back against fraud." What was this compelling evidence? Inquiring minds want to know!

9. THIS

Gin and Tomic have to be stopped - this is not acceptable

[Baked Potato]

10. The desperation was really over the top.

The Arizona lawmakers could rightfully assume Thomas had their backs.

The Court seems compromised.

11. As more comes to light, we'll see AZ law makers weren't the only recipients of Ginnie's emails (n/t)

.

13. Clarence Thomas is the GODFATHER of Bolick's kid

One additional detail: Clarence Thomas is The Godfather to Clint Bolick’s child, and Bolick’s wife is the AZ lawmaker who Ginni Thomas pressured to overturn the 2020 election. No conflicts of interest?
