PROSECUTE CLARENCE THOMAS FOR FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS AND JUDICIAL INSIDER TRADING
PROSECUTE CLARENCE THOMAS FOR FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS AND JUDICIAL INSIDER TRADING
Clarence Thomas admitted recently that he falsified 20 years of Financial Disclosure documents going back to 1990, including during his confirmation process, by failing to disclose more than a million dollars in salary by his wife during that time. Also, Ginni Thomas launched an organization called Liberty Central and raised more than $550,000 in order to advantage of the Court’s Citizens United decision, and then received salary and benefits from that organization. And then the Thomases invested in another company called Liberty Consulting to lobby on behalf of the “tea party,” and Mrs. Thomas also received “salary and benefits” from that company.
Falsifying disclosure forms violates the criminal provisions of 5 USC app Sec. 104 and 18 USC 1001, and “judicial insider trading” violates other federal statutes.
We, the undersigned, ask the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute these violations of Federal Law, and not afford Justice Thomas special treatment.
A U.S. Supreme Court Justice who violates the law places our nation's judicial system in serious jeopardy and makes a mockery of the words carved on the front of the Supreme Court, "Equal Justice Under The Law."
Why is this important?
Justice Clarence Thomas has violated federal law and rules of ethics by falsifying 20 years of financial disclosure forms and engaging in judicial insider trading to enrich himself from the Citizens United decision. We're calling on the Justice Department to apply Equal Justice Under Law to the conduct of Clarence Thomas.
