The Supreme Court keeps written records. Mr. Crow has never had a case before it.
So, it is your claim that not one single case before the SCOTUS during all the time the two were friends did not benefit Mr Crow?

It just gets sleazier and sleazier.
In 2014, one of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow’s companies purchased a string of properties on a quiet residential street in Savannah, Georgia. It wasn’t a marquee acquisition for the real estate magnate, just an old single-story home and two vacant lots down the road. What made it noteworthy were the people on the other side of the deal: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his relatives.
The transaction marks the first known instance of money flowing from the Republican megadonor to the Supreme Court justice. The Crow company bought the properties for $133,363 from three co-owners — Thomas, his mother and the family of Thomas’ late brother, according to a state tax document and a deed dated Oct. 15, 2014, filed at the Chatham County courthouse.
Justice Thomas's mother still lives in the House the billionaire bought.
The disclosure form Thomas filed for that year also had a space to report the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, such as a real estate deal. That space is blank.
“He needed to report his interest in the sale,” said Virginia Canter, a former government ethics lawyer now at the watchdog group CREW. “Given the role Crow has played in subsidizing the lifestyle of Thomas and his wife, you have to wonder if this was an effort to put cash in their pockets.”

It’s unclear if Crow paid fair market value for the Thomas properties. Crow also bought several other properties on the street and paid significantly less than his deal with the Thomases. One example: In 2013, he bought a pair of properties on the same block — a vacant lot and a small house — for a total of $40,000.
So, it is your claim that not one single case before the SCOTUS during all the time the two were friends did not benefit Mr Crow?
Exactly correct.
Then you are even more ignorant than I ever suspected.
It just gets sleazier and sleazier.

Disclose to whom? And why?
I guess if he had a taxable gain on the property, Justice Thomas would have to disclose it on his income tax. Do you have proof he had a gain that wasn't reported?
He didn't have to disclouse anything....and a vacant lot, is worth a lot less then a lot with a home already on it....geez....It just gets sleazier and sleazier.

No one knew about Thomas's free gifts from the billionaire until now.
This is not the first time he has not reported gifts or income. Not even the second time.
Since when are JUDGES, of all people, above the law?
High crimes and MISDEMEANORS, dipshit. You certainly have a very selective brain.
A mistake? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Do we really want a judge who can't even understand the most basic laws about disclosure? Seriously?
Are you really so stupid as to bleev Thomas's MULTIPLE infractions were "mistakes"?
I keep forgetting just how credulous you rubes are, but then you keep reminding me.
A black guy owning property -- with his relatives!!! Has that ever happened before??!!!
This is really is what gets the Demaklan upset.....they need minorities dependent, not free thinking and self-reliantA black guy owning property -- with his relatives!!! Has that ever happened before??!!!
I think the real problem the leftards have is the fact that a black guy would actually socialize with a white guy.
There has to be something amiss when the races hang out socially in the leftard mind. That's why they insist and enforce segregation on the yards in the California penal system- keeping the whites and blacks and Mexicans separated.
To quote Far Left Democrat Ted Bilbo from several decades ago "Take your choice- separation or mongrelization".
And have a Governor in AZ who sold a property a week to the Sinaloa Cartel
Gee, who knew that Clarence Thomas would end up being billionaire whitey Harlan Crow's "boy"?If the Bidens didn't report millions from China does Thomas have to report money from this land sale?

$130000/3= $43333.33 THAT was his share IF he got anything.The purchase included three properties, one of which was Thomas's mother's house. And she still lives there.
The properties were purchased at a price almost triple the value of what Thomas has claimed the properties are worth.
The man is a crook who takes bribes.
One of my friends was a Black chap in Darwin. He was an excellent Chess player and an avowed Communist who owned several properties(go figure). We talked extensively about Culture, Politics and any other topic that came up. He was a decent chap with a dark past; a good bloke who had turned his life around and had a wonderful family and great kids. Ted Bilbo seems to have been something of a wanker.I think the real problem the leftards have is the fact that a black guy would actually socialize with a white guy.

He has no obligation to file any thing...you lieThomas has failed time and time again to disclose financial transactions he was supposed to disclose. He has filed amendments after amendments ONLY after getting caught.
At some point you have to hold the man accountable and impeach him.
