Letter: Viewing the whole truth about Thomas

Perhaps reader Richard Barsanti missed the follow up on the ProPublica and Washington Post smear job on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The Wall Street Journal has uncovered multiple "mistruths" and sham reporting jobs on the alleged "misappropriation" findings against Justice Thomas.

The extreme left-wing news publication ProPublica was the main author of the attack. In multiple omissions, items that were overlooked were errors committed by other Supreme Court justices in the past. Such as omitted and corrected items to the 2011 Justice Ginsburg tax return, the amended disclosures of Justice Breyer's 2018 tax return and the cadre of corrections and omissions in Feb 2022 by Justice Jackson's tax returns on her tax returns from the years 2011 to 2021.

Incidentally, as to the latter, no senator brought up these varied errors and omissions during her Senate questioning either.

As one example (of many) to the sham reporting, in a breathless 1,240-word story, The Washington Post on April 17 claimed that Justice Thomas "for years" has claimed income from a company that "has not existed since 2006." That firm, Ginger Ltd Partnership, managed real estate in New England and was founded by his wife, Ginna Thomas, and her relatives. It dissolved 17 years ago and its holdings were transferred to a new entity, Ginger Holdings LLC. That's it, a new company name. Yet, supposedly Justice Thomas has failed to report income on a dissolved entity. That's it.

The false reporting on the Justice Thomas alleged misappropriations cannot all be tended to here from the lengthy and informative Wall Street Journal reporting.

Suffice to say, the left engaged in a political hit job on Justice Thomas, while ignoring the errors and omissions of its own Liberal Supreme Court Justices. Thankfully, we have a truthful and factually verified response to the hyperventilated and trumped up charges by the liberal left media machine against Thomas.
