Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

Clarence Thomas will be shocked that his “close friends” will no longer return his calls when he no longer has a vote on the Supreme Court. Ditto DJT. His “friend” count will return to zero when he is out of office.

‘Crow met Thomas after he became a justice…’ This is great reporting of a guy and his wife whose senses of entitlement are unbalanced by their lack of self-awareness. The Roberts’ court will never have accountability, ask his wife who has made millions headhunting attorneys with scotus cases.

Please explain how he wasn't investigated a long time ago and thrown off the court and prosecuted.He's not working for us.He's working for who pays him.He's not a Supreme Court judge.He should not be making decisions involving our lives. Laws need to change.Hes nothing but a pay for play guy.

ProPublica's Pulitzer-winning probe revealed Justice Clarence Thomas accepted years of undisclosed luxury trips from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. The exposé exposed major ethical blind spots at SCOTUS, forcing the Court to adopt its first-ever formal Code of Conduct.

Maybe if the filthy poors inside the US would take the supreme Court on exclusive all expenses paid vacations, they would have healthcare. Honestly shocking how selfish the poors inside the US can be. Not a single 1 of those poors has ever given a judge a thank you bottle of 100 year old scotch.

SCOTUS Justices MUST NOT BE IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION. Clarence Thomas IS A CRIMINAL. He must go to PRISON. Wake the F up Americans. If you don't start PUNISHING these criminals, THEY WILL DESTROY YOU.

WHY is Clarence Thomas still on the Supreme Court. Once all of the payoffs were discovered he has no business and no right to continue on the court. He should NEVER have been appointed in the first place. Another fkng of the people by the Republicans in Congress who just want power and money.

Why is anyone surprised by this? I've known about Thomas' unethical relationship with Harlan Crow since Trump's first term in office. And I live in Southern Arizona, FFS.

The good news is he’s apparently too narcissistic to retire during this Congress and therefore will almost certainly be replaced by someone less bad than he is.

In a functioning democracy, this would have led to his impeachment, Crow’s indictment, and a wholesale look at influence peddling on the Court. We aren’t in Kansas anymore, Toto.

V confirms this claim checks out. ProPublica's 2023 investigation and Thomas's amended financial disclosures confirmed he accepted over $500,000 in undisclosed luxury travel from Crow over two decades. Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

You left out that Harlan Crow is one of the biggest unabashed Nazis in America, with a huge collection of Hitler memorabilia. Seems like it could be important that one of America/s biggest Nazis has been bribing a Supreme Court justice for a quarter century...
