She (#GinniThomas) created a for-profit consulting biz using a similar name — #LibertyConsulting — that enabled her to perform consulting work for #conservative activist grps.

A key #LeonardLeo aide, Sarah Field, would come aboard to help #GinniThomas manage the group, which they called #LibertyCentral.

After Liberty Central went public, it provoked an outcry over a #SCOTUS justice’s wife promoting causes like overturning #Obamacare that were before her husband’s court. Leo & Thomas changed gears. His network reactivated a dormant group, the #JudicialEducationProject, which would go on to become a major supplier of #AmicusBriefs before the nation’s highest court.

#Conservative #judicial activist #LeonardLeo arranged $25k payment to #GinniThomas for consulting work specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork per documents reviewed by WaPo. In January 2012, Leo instructed #GOP #pollster #KellyanneConway to bill a nonprofit group he advises and use that money to pay Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the documents show. The same year, the nonprofit #JudicialEducationProject filed a brief to #SCOTUS in a landmark #VotingRights case. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/05/04/leonard-leo-clarence-ginni-thomas-conway/
