BINGO! 😃 Frank Gaffney paid Ginni, Liberty Consulting, upward of $200k when Gaffney had business before the Court. Payments are visible in tax docs that were filed by Gaffney’s group, the Center for Security Policy.
"But they are not evident in the financial disclosures for those years submitted by Justice Thomas."
Gaffney’s brief argued that “the challenge of Islam must be confronted.” TRAVEL BAN
💯 #Gaffney@gal_suburban
"Almost as troubling as the details of these ethical lapses is the fact that neither of these payments to Ginni Thomas would be known today except for random happenstance brought to light by investigative reporters."
"But there is no requirement that a spouse who owns a firm must reveal the identities of their clients, which could reveal potential conflicts of interest."
"Over the years, Justice Thomas has repeatedly failed to meet these minimal disclosure requirements, amending his statements only after watchdog groups and investigative reporters have exposed lapses."
"In his disclosures in 2017 and 2018, for instance, despite the six-figure payments from Gaffney’s group to his wife, he gave a curiously low value for her firm, claiming in both years that it was worth only between fifteen thousand and fifty thousand dollars."
Making America Great, Rebekah Mercer, Trump’s backer: As a result of this financial daisy chain, it is likely that 100s of 1000s of $ flowed undetected from Trump backers through Gaffney and on to the Thomases, as the Court was agreeing to hear challenges to Trump’s TRAVEL BAN.

Thomas said he needs to amend the disclosures on his travels after the judicial conference updated the wording of the rules to explicitly spell out what virtually everyone else already understood.
Senate Dems are investigating whether Crow, who extended much of the most lavish “personal hospitality”—as Thomas described it—personally owned the jet, the yacht, and the resorts that Thomas stayed at, or whether these were owned by his corporation, which would strain the claim.
"...Thomas should be asked to amend his financial statements. Thomas already did so in 2011, after it became public that he hadn’t disclosed six hundred and eighty-six thousand dollars that his wife had earned while working at the Heritage Foundation..."
Hobby Lobby: "In 2012, for instance, as these payments were being made, Leo was closely allied with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a small Catholic-led nonprofit legal group that has litigated a number of landmark religious-liberty cases before the Supreme Court."
Scott Pruitt, OK’s AG at the time, who filed a brief in support of Hobby Lobby, later described the dinner in a speech at Hillsdale College.
Pruitt was the head of the RAGA, and another nonprofit group in Leo’s network, the JCN, had just begun donating to Pruitt... $2.4 million. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Leonard Leo: "...it wasn’t just the cuisine that dazzled Pruitt. When he reached his table, he found Justices Thomas and Scalia seated there. “We spent three hours talking about the Constitution and things that we were involved in,”... “It was a fabulous time.” 😅
CENTER FOR SECURITY POLICY
"Founded in 1988 by former Reagan admin Frank Gaffney Jr, Center for Security Policy (CSP) went from respected hawkish think tank focused on foreign affairs to a conspiracy oriented mouthpiece for growing anti-Muslim movement."
