OPINION | The more we learn about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ financial disclosures, the more it becomes plain that the Justice Department must open an investigation.
For full disclosure, I interviewed with Thomas after law school for a judicial clerkship in the time when his nomination to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals was still pending confirmation, and then again when he was nominated to the Supreme Court. He turned me down both times. Still, I remember him as charismatic and personable with a compelling personal story.
Not only is that a bad look for him, it amplifies the decibel level of worry over the high court’s lack of accountability to the level of a scream.are completely reasonable, but also completely unrealistic given the fact that Roberts’ “investigation” of the Dobbs decision leak seemed completely inept. And as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Dana Bash,in the advice Thomas supposedly sought from unnamed colleagues.
The sole viable investigation option is one conducted by DOJ. Only questioning conducted by experienced public corruption investigators—either under penalty of perjury before a grand jury or under the threat of false statements violations—can result in a thorough investigation deserving of public confidence in the outcome.
