Wait a sec. Let me get this straight. Politico and WaPo reported that Leonard Leo’s group instructed Kellyanne Conway’s Polling Company to ā€œgiveā€ Ginni Thomas’s ā€œconsultingā€ company ā€œanother $25Kā€ with ā€œNo mention of Ginni, of course.ā€ Then Conway billed Leo for that $25K the same day? So, Leo was funneling cash to a Supreme Court justice’s wife through Conway’s company?!
@georgetakei
When you say ā€œfunnelingā€ do you mean ā€œlaunderingā€? 😳
@JGuz I think ā€œlaunderingā€ implies he got the clean money back himself instead of buying a Justice with it.
@georgetakei @BigAngBlack i really like it when they keep the receipts

@georgetakei

Sounds like par for the course for gop. And the fact they handled it this way shows they knew it was crooked af.

@georgetakei I'm surprised at the surprise in your tone.
@georgetakei are you really shocked?
@georgetakei Alito: If you think payoffs to a judges wife affect rulings, ā€œyou don’t understand how Justices workā€
@georgetakei
I wonder that the bill was for, Housekeeping services? There must have been something in the memo field.
@georgetakei isn't that how it's supposed to work?
Huh.
Coulda fooled me.

@georgetakei
The #Republican puppets on #SCOTUS are hopelessly compromised, and given they vote as instructed by the GOP and ultra-right-wing fascist billionaires, #SCOTUSIsCompromised

It's time for to expand the court, set term limits, and regulate their ethics.

@bigheadtales @georgetakei
Investigate, indict, convict, and sentence to prison.

Also impeach, convict, and remove from office.

But we all know that is extremely unlikely.

@bigheadtales @georgetakei It is dismaying that expanding the court is somehow thought to be a more achievable solution.
@bigheadtales @georgetakei It's time to impeach the motherfuckers

@georgetakei

This article, correct? (Gift link) https://wapo.st/3RhiLQX

I'm curious whether it's in his amended disclosures.

Judicial activist directed fees to Clarence Thomas’s wife, urged ā€˜no mention of Ginni’

Leonard Leo told GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to give the spouse of the Supreme Court justice Ā« another $25,000 Ā» and to bill a nonprofit organization called the Judicial Education Project.

The Washington Post
@georgetakei with Ginny Thomas’ impeccable pollster credentials, this shouldn’t even be questioned! 🤣
@georgetakei
This is what the Citizens United case did. It used to be if you wanted to launder money you found a bank that was either crooked or failing. Now you can launder millions through a political campaign. All the politicians have to do is write a check or request a funds transfer after they received the funds.
@georgetakei
Do we think this, plus Ginnie’s insurrection bus service, will be included in Jack Smith’s investigation into the funding of J6?

@georgetakei
I think that's what the Feds call money laundering.

Now it's time to round them up and drag them through the streets.

@georgetakei it's just beyond insane. If I weren't watching all this with my own eyes. I can barely believe some of these people are even real. But they are.
@georgetakei you make it sound like it was wrong?
Ok, it was unethical and wrong, but was it illegal?
@georgetakei This is the country of checks and balances, except that there are none on the Supreme Court. It seems to be dominated by bad apples at the moment.
@georgetakei She was essentially laundering Leonard Leo’s money
@georgetakei
Four Seasons Total Laundering
@georgetakei Journalists: Well, yes, but have you heard that Joe Biden is old?
@georgetakei this would be even more awkward if SCOTUS was not exempt from income tax. sn/
@georgetakei And Leo has been inserting the Koch - Leo version of Federalist into our government for years . They own the Suprene Court and a good portion of the DOJ.
