#darkmoney — Public Fediverse posts

@Hoi_Pollois Mike Johnson "...
owes hundreds of thousands of dollars between a mortgage, personal loan, and home equity line of credit, so where did that money go?” Jordan Libowitz, the communications director for the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told The Daily Beast. “If he truly has no bank account and no assets, it raises questions about his personal financial wellbeing.”
..."
It also raises questions concerning blackmailability due to possible financial trouble — or speculations about secretive relaying of Leonard Leo's rich & dark money funds — reminding of Brett Kavanaugh's debts mysteriously being paid.

@realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

@trainman Citizens United is certainly not only proof of utterly fucked-up judicial independence, but also a compromised Separation of State & Corporations' power.

Every justice, who approved Citizens United & still overpopulates the Supreme Court, that is John Roberts, Samuel Alito & Clarence Thomas, deserves to be thoroughly investigated, prosecuted & tried, to be brought to justice.

It seems expensive gifts to Supreme Court are becoming popular again.

Waitin for it!

@marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.

Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.

Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.

@BrennanCenter 👏👏👏 No one is above the law. Including Supreme Court justices!

SCOTUS justices without corporate interests could easily feel relieved from conflicts of interest.

Time to institute a code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

"Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito together own shares in 19 companies that could see combined tax relief of more than $30 billion if the court issues a broad ruling in the Moore v. United States tax case and strikes down a one-time corporate tax imposed in 2017."

@Itchy Damn right: Leonard Leo, Knight of Malta isn't talked about & investigated enough for his subversive activities undermining & obstructing prior SCOTUS decisions relating to Americans' civil & human rights & in the long run plotting to establish a different kind of government, being closer to an autocratic/theocratic regime.

@waningestrogen @NewsDesk Thankfully Bob Menendez is not a Clarence Thomas, who seems to have always been thinking he were above the laws & divinely elevated above any ethical obligations!

For Bob Menendez there are defenses.

Bribery? Shouldn't we talk about Clarence Thomas in the first place before we raise the axe over Bob Menendez, who has neither been convicted nor sentenced yet? We sure should!

@marcelias Organizations, which can't win in free & fair elections take to criminal acts like voter suppression & election subversion.
If they're serially committing such fraudulent acts, they should be banned from the ballots on ground of conspiracy against rights.
State legislatures codifying injustice are providing hostile public disservice to the people, justice, the United States & their Constitution.

No wonder Clarence once ("jokingly") called Leonard "Richelieu" Leo the *third-most important man in the U.S.*.
The man most harmful to the American judiciary & Americans' human & civil rights.

"From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues. It funded legal scholars to devise theories to challenge liberal precedents, helped to elect state attorneys general willing to apply those theories and launched lavish campaigns for conservative judicial nominees who would cite those theories in their rulings from the bench."

A dark web of dark-money jugglers, benefitting from the Citizens United ruling they had their sticky fingers in to legalize their covert shady financial & manipulative operations.

[Ginni] "Thomas, wife of a sitting justice, in concert with [Leonard] Leo, was secretly building the sort of dark-money front group that would soon be greenlit by the court’s decision. That group would be funded by Harlan Crow, the billionaire who spent decades secretly enriching the same justice who would sit on the case and the same spouse who would benefit from the outcome of the case. And the dark-money group founded by Ginni Thomas would go on to advocate for cases argued before the court as her husband heard those cases."

So, how many bucks did Donald "quid-pro-quo" Trump rake in for agreeing to nominate 3 more Federalist Society jurists to the United States Supreme Court?

@DeeGLloyd And you bet Clarence is not the least bit ashamed.

Or the other way round, as ashamed of it as he is of Ginny's support for the Jan 6 insurrection.

@skykiss Leonard Leo's six corrupt, biased & rebellious SCOTUS agents, working to scrap every SCOTUS precedent & ruling based on Reconstruction Amendments — especially the Fourteenth Amendment — like eg Roe v. Wade, Obergefell v. Hodges etc., are simply misplaced on the Supreme Court of the United States.
And they're exhibit A, that lifetime tenures for justices & judges do in no way guarantee judicial independence — which Leonard Leo, Catholic Knight of Malta, Federalist-Society-éminence grise & dark-$billions juggler , on top of it intentionally broke by putting 5 of the 6 majority justices on the bench, and surely not, because they are alleged to be angels of impartiality.
