Jeannie Thomas, wife of thick conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who played a decisive role role in attempt to cancel 2020 elections now faces threat of subpoena force her to testify before the committee on 6 January.
During a Sunday morning TV appearance on CNN State of Union showRep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) told host Jake Tupper that the committee was continuing negotiations with well-connected conspiracy lawyer in trying to get her to testify about her role in insurrection.
Cheney said that “the committee is with her counsel”and tried to make her appear for weeks.
“I really hope she does this voluntarily,” she said. “But the committee is fully prepared to consider a subpoena if she doesn’t.”
Her lawyer did not respond to a request. for comment Sunday morning.
The committee sent her an interview request in letter dated June 16, but it was categorically rejected in formal reply on On June 28, her lawyer Mark R. Paoletta signed it. In a reply letter, Paoletta told the committee that “no story reveal here” and questioned mission waving your credentials like former lead investigative lawyer with House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where he served on nearly 200 investigative hearings over decade.
Thomas, a long time ago conservative activist, came under scrutiny over in way she personally pushed for Arizona legislators to keep former President Donald Trump in power.
Thomas sent an email about the coup plot with John Eastman, crazy conservative lawyer who developed dubious plan to reverse Joe Biden’s presidential election victory at the expense of Trump supporters in Congress simply refuses to certify the Electoral College votes. And she also sms with President of the Trump White House of employee Mark Meadows about her insane belief that “Biden crime family and accomplices of ballot-rigging…arrested and…will live in barges off GITMO in face military tribunals for rebellion.”
Considering Thomas proximity some of most powerful politicians, the January 6 committee investigating the uprising wants to continue investigating her reports. They could paint a clearer picture of in way wife of Supreme Court justice- unelected government official with life tenure – engaged in which is tantamount to a seditious conspiracy.
Handing Thomas a subpoena would be a noticeable escalation. Although it would be treat her like any other US citizen, her refusal show up and testify to the risks facing arrest as well as jail time is a strange situation for wife of Supreme Court justice.
The Committee has already interview more over 1000 witnesses who worked in the Trump administration, his overthrow in the election campaign, and many groups with fascist connections who conspiracy to keep trump in power.
Several who resisted including Meadows, MAGA social media manager Dan Scavino, former White House adviser Peter Navarro and political strategist Steve Bannon have been detained. in contempt of Congress or now face time behind bars. On Friday, the jury found Bannon guilty. who awaiting mandatory minimum sentence of month or more in prison. Navarro was indicted last month.
“I believe our nation is worth on in edge of abyss.”
— Liz Cheney
Cheney on CNN acknowledged that her role as co-chair of Committee on January 6 – and her readiness is completely with Republican colleagues who remain loyal trumpists – could cost her re-election in wyoming it year. But she called the historic Congressional investigation “the most important thing I’ve done professionally.”
“I believe that our nation is worth on in edge of abyss. We must think very seriously about the dangers we face… and we have to elect serious candidates,” she said.
She is also said she had not yet decided whether she would run for the president next year to prevent Trump from returning.
