ProPublica Plots Yet Another Baseless Clarence Thomas Hit Piece
Mark Paoletta
In its obsession to smear Justice Clarence Thomas, the left-wing billionaire-funded website ProPublica is expected to publish another dishonest hit piece to justify its previous dishonest hit pieces on Justice Thomas’ vacations with his friends. But this new hit job does nothing to change the fact that Thomas acted consistent with the law and the governing legal body’s 2012 ruling that Thomas acted properly.
In its first attack piece, ProPublica falsely claimed Thomas violated the law because he did not report various vacations he took with his longtime friend Harlan Crow. To support this claim, ProPublica cited left-wing “judicial ethics” experts who are funded by the same left-wing billionaires funding ProPublica.
What ProPublica failed to mention in its story is that the Judicial Conference of the United States, which is comprised of federal judges and is charged by law with implementing and enforcing the ethics law for the federal judiciary, had previously considered these exact allegations and ruled in 2012 that Thomas had not failed to disclose any required information regarding travel reimbursements.
