The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and CBS News’s Robert Costa landed one of the week’s bigger D.C. scoops with a report that Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, texted then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows urging him to contest the election results.“Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!…You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice.
The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History,” Thomas wrote to Meadows on Nov. 10, after Joe Biden had been declared the projected winner by the networks, according to the the Post and CBS News report.In the days that followed, Thomas advanced a number of conspiracy theories about the election while pushing for attorney Sidney Powell to take the lead in the Trump campaign’s challenge of the election results.
Powell, though, made a series of wild and unsupported claims in multiple TV appearances and at a Nov. 19 news conference, to the point that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson told viewers that, after his inquiries, she could not produce evidence.
Trump eventually distanced himself from her.In a text message that Thomas sent to Meadows on Nov. 5, she wrote, quoting from right-wing websites, “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”The texts were among those turned over to the January 6th Committee, Woodward and Costa report.
