For unlawful abuses of power, wide-ranging sexual assault and harassment, wage theft, and other misconduct

eddsa.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/public/650033_… Image

One (non lewd but bonkers) example

"He also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split."

eddsa.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/public/650033_… Image
Complaint by Dunphy v Giuliani says there are tapes

And that she had access to Giuliani's emails with Trump, his family, Kushner, Louis Freeh, Jay Sekulow, Bannon, Conway, Murdoch, Carlson, Hannity etc....

Big if true:

Judicial activist directed fees to Clarence Thomas’s wife, urged ‘no mention of Ginni’

In 2012 Leonard Leo told GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill nonprofit, then use money to pay spouse of Supreme Court justice

By @emmersbrown @ShawnBoburg @jocwapo

washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Conway’s firm, the Polling Company, sent the Judicial Education Project a $25,000 bill

The Polling Company paid Thomas’s firm, Liberty Consulting a total of $80,000 in 2011-2012

washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Per Leonard Leo "anybody who thinks Ginni Thomas would seek to influence the Supreme Court’s work is completely ignorant of the respect she has for her husband and the important role that he and his colleagues play in our society.”
