Ginny Thomas Pushed Wisconsin Lawmakers To Overturn Biden S 2020 Victory

Comment Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has pushed lawmakers to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, not only in Arizona, as previously reported, but also in a second battleground state, Wisconsin, according to emails obtained under the state Public Records Act. The Washington Post reported this year that Ginny Thomas emailed 29 Arizona state lawmakers, some of them twice, in November and December 2020. She urged them to set aside Biden’s popular victory and “pick” their own. presidential electors, despite the fact that the responsibility for choosing the electors rests with the voters under Arizona state law. The new emails show Thomas also messaged two Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin: state Sen. Kathy Bernier, then the chair of the Senate Select Committee, and state Rep. Gary Tauchen. Bernier and Tauchen received the email at 10:47 a.m. on Nov. 9, around the same time Arizona lawmakers received a verbatim copy of the message from Thomas. The Bernier email was obtained by The Post and the Tauchen email was obtained by the Documented watchdog group and provided to The Post. Thomas sent all the emails through FreeRoots, an online platform that allowed people to send prearranged emails to multiple elected officials. “Please stand strong in the face of media and political pressure,” read the emails sent Nov. 9, days after major media organizations called for the presidency for Biden. “Consider the awesome power granted to you by our Constitution. And then please take steps to ensure that a clean slate of electors is chosen for our state.” Neither Thomas nor her attorney, Mark Paoletta, responded to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court did not return a message seeking comment from Clarence Thomas. Ginny Thomas’ political activism is highly unusual for the wife of a Supreme Court justice and has for years raised questions about potential conflicts of interest for her husband. She has said that the two keep their professional lives separate. But scrutiny of the Thomases intensified this year after The Post and CBS News obtained copies of text messages Ginni Thomas exchanged with Mark Meadows, then President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, in the weeks after the 2020 election. Thomas repeatedly urged Meadows to continue fighting to overturn the election results. After Congress ratified Biden’s victory on January 6, 2021, she expressed her anger at Vice President Mike Pence, who had refused to intervene to keep Trump in office. “We are living through what looks like the end of America,” Thomas wrote to Meadows four days later. Thomas was also in contact during the post-election period with John Eastman, the pro-Trump lawyer who was once on her husband’s staff and whose role in trying to overturn Biden’s victory has drawn scrutiny from both the Justice Department and by the selection committee of the Parliament. investigating the January 6 uprising. In early December 2020, Thomas invited Eastman to speak at a meeting of Frontliners for Liberty, which she described as a grassroots activist group, according to an email Eastman posted online. The agenda of the meeting has not been made public. But a federal judge ruling on what records must be turned over in response to a committee subpoena wrote that the agenda showed Eastman was discussing “State legislative actions that can overturn the election for Joe Biden called by the media ». U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ordered Eastman to give congressional investigators emails related to Thomas and meetings of the Frontliners team, finding that the meetings “furthered a critical objective of the Jan. 6 plan: to be certified by the disputed states alternative lists of electors for President. Trump.” The House committee asked Thomas to sit for a voluntary interview in June. The committee also sought a wide range of documents from her, including any related to plans to rig the election and all communications with members of Congress and their staff and Justice Department officials, according to a copy of the request published by the conservative Daily Caller. At that time, Thomas indicated that he would comply. “I look forward to clearing up misunderstandings. I can’t wait to talk to them,” Thomas told the Daily Caller, her former employer. Less than two weeks later, on June 28, Paoletta told the committee that while Thomas remained willing to participate in an interview, she did not believe there was “sufficient basis” to do so. In a letter obtained by The Post, Paoletta — a longtime close associate of the Thomases — described Ginni Thomas’ text messages to Meadows as “completely out of the ordinary” and said they did not suggest she had any role in the Capitol attack. She extended her invitation to Eastman as merely an invitation to speak, not as an endorsement of his views or “any indication of a working relationship.” He also said he played no role in organizing the email campaign to Arizona lawmakers and did not draft or edit the letters he sent. In an interview, Bernier, the Wisconsin lawmaker, said it would be appropriate for the state legislature to consider invalidating the 2020 results in the weeks after the election if evidence of significant voter fraud had emerged. “But as we went through the process and the legal challenges were made and rejected by the court system, nothing was proven in terms of actual voter fraud,” he said. Bernier said she didn’t realize Thomas was among the thousands of people who emailed her after the election, but said Thomas “has a First Amendment right to speak her mind.” “I was married for 20 years. I took on some of my husband’s identity, but I had a mind of my own,” Bernier said. “Just because you’re married to someone doesn’t mean you’re a clone.” Tauchen did not respond to messages seeking comment. Democratic lawmakers have renewed calls for an ethics code for the US Supreme Court amid heightened scrutiny of Justice Thomas and his wife. (Video: The Washington Post) Thomas’ Nov. 9 email was one of thousands sent through the FreeRoots platform that flooded the offices of Bernier and Tauchen in the weeks after the election, records show. The Wisconsin State Journal reported in January 2021 that of more than 10,000 pages of emails obtained during that period from Bernier and state Rep. Ron Tusler (R), then chairman of his chamber’s election committee, the majority were ” mass letters making unspecific allegations of alleged improprieties, an attempt to find fraud by the right wing, and a quote from Sean Hannity’s Fox show.” The fact that Thomas sent one of the FreeRoots emails to Bernier has not been mentioned before. “Please do your constitutional duty!” read the subject of the message he sent. According to records released by Bernier’s office to The Post, Thomas was the fourth of more than 30 people to send that form of email on Nov. 9 and 10. The first sender of that email, three hours before Thomas, was a person named Stephanie Coleman, records show. A woman named Stephanie Miller Coleman is the widow of one of Clarence Thomas’ former employees. She was listed as co-administrator, along with Thomas, of a private Facebook group for Frontliners. The group admins page is no longer publicly visible. Coleman did not respond to a message seeking comment. Ginny Thomas’ communications with key players in the election coup attempt led to calls for her husband to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election and coup efforts. Clarence Thomas has given no indication that he intends to do so. This year, eight Supreme Court justices rejected Trump’s request to block congressional investigators from accessing White House records that could shed light on the events of January 6, 2021. Thomas was the only justice to dissent, siding with Trump. Jacqueline Alemany contributed to this report.
