(5,524 posts)That isn't his crime. His wife is a different person and he doesn't have to be held accountable for what she does.
HOWEVER,
But that isnt even the most troubling part of the story. It should be noted that Clarence Thomas was the sole dissenting vote when the Supreme Court decided to let the Jan6 Committee see the White House documents. Now we know that his wife is implicated in those documents. That is a clear conflict of interest that should have resulted in recusal.
That may be the most unethical position ever taken by a judge on the Supreme Court. Not only did he not recuse from an obvious conflict of interest, he actively engaged in a cover-up to protect his wife.
Frankly, I think you could make an argument for obstruction of justice (caveate-I am not a lawyer). We wouldn't let him get away with shredding her documents in their home so why should he get away with trying to bury them in the SC.
