Clarence Thomas committed federal offenses, and Rep. Weiner brought this to our attention. That's why Rep. Weiner has been targeted by Breitbart and is being character assassinated in the MSM.

Indict Clarence Thomas.

Filing a false report violates 5 USC App. 104, an impeachable criminal offense. Thomas did it repeatedly.

Appendix 104 to the US Code is at: http://openjurist.org/title-5/us-code/appendix/104/failure-to-file-or-filing-false-reports

Bottom-line: that was an impeachable criminal offense by Thomas, one that potentially carries a year in prison and a $50,000 fine, as well as referral to the Judicial Conference and the ethics committee for "appropriate personnel or other action."



I read that to mean that Clarence Thomas is gone as Associate Justice. Yet, he's still ruling on cases. Why hasn't an Indictment been sought by the Attorney General?

5 USC App. 104
(a)
(1) The Attorney General may bring a civil action in any appropriate United States district court against any individual who knowingly and willfully falsifies or who knowingly and willfully fails to file or report any information that such individual is required to report pursuant to section 102. The court in which such action is brought may assess against such individual a civil penalty in any amount, not to exceed $50,000.
(2)
(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly and willfully
(i) falsify any information that such person is required to report under section 102; and
(ii) fail to file or report any information that such person is required to report under section 102.
(B) Any person who
(i) violates subparagraph (A)(i) shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 1 year, or both; and
(ii) violates subparagraph (A)(ii) shall be fined under title 18, United States Code.
(b) The head of each agency, each Secretary concerned, the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, each congressional ethics committee, or the Judicial Conference, as the case may be, shall refer to the Attorney General the name of any individual which such official or committee has reasonable cause to believe has willfully failed to file a report or has willfully falsified or willfully failed to file information required to be reported. Whenever the Judicial Conference refers a name to the Attorney General under this subsection, the Judicial Conference also shall notify the judicial council of the circuit in which the named individual serves of the referral.
(c) The President, the Vice President, the Secretary concerned, the head of each agency, the Office of Personnel Management, a congressional ethics committee, and the Judicial Conference, may take any appropriate personnel or other action in accordance with applicable law or regulation against any individual failing to file a report or falsifying or failing to report information required to be reported.


For five or six years in a row, Thomas conspired with his wife, a lobbyist, and checked a box marking "No Spousal Income."

Indict Clarence Thomas.
