So…a new batch of emails sent by John Eastman to Donald Trump’s legal eagles shows they depended on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to help them disrupt Joe Biden’s presidential victory. Raw Story reports they were so confident that it raises additional questions about his wife, Ginni Thomas’s role in their plot.

Trump’s lawyers were so confident in fact, that it led The Washington Post’s Jacqueline Alemany, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, to wonder why they were so certain Thomas would help them out. Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a December 31, 2020 email that Thomas would be “our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by Jan. 6,” regarding a challenge to election results in Georgia. Chesebro oversees the Circuit Court in Georgia — which seems rather convenient, doesn’t it?

“The fringy lawyers that were surrounding Trump and helping him in his efforts to overturn the results of the election in the last few months of his presidency had reason to believe, at least publicly, that justice Clarence Thomas was going to be sympathetic to their cause,” Alemany said. “Remember in December of 2020, Thomas along with [Justice Samuel] Alito issued a brief statement after the audacious Texas lawsuit was filed, calling to ultimately throw out the results of the 2020 election in four battleground states. The majority dismissed it, but Alito and Thomas expressed a statement that was sympathetic to the lawsuit and said that the majority threw it out too quickly.”

She elaborated a bit further.

“Now the question is, I think privately, what reasons did John Eastman and Chesebro have to believe that Thomas would be sympathetic to them if he got a lawsuit in front of them?”

As most of us now know, Ginni Thomas corresponded with John Eastman during this time period. She also kept in contact with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows as well as Republican legislatures in key states where Biden won. Alemany noted the newly revealed emails shed additional scrutiny on her.

“It’s a very small world here,” Alemany said. “There was no indication in the correspondence that either of the Thomases were [copied] on the emails, but you can clearly see why John Eastman was fighting hard to prevent the release of these emails.”

Calling the emails scandalous, host Joe Scarborough said:

“It’s shocking, the behavior between John Eastman, Ginni Thomas, and the efforts to overthrow, throw out democratic election for the presidency. Also, their misreading of what Clarence Thomas and Alito did when they went along with an opinion in a Pennsylvania case, the only time the court wrote anything of substance on the election challenges, they said about the Pennsylvania case, which involved the court in Pennsylvania overruling the state legislature. That race is a constitutional question, and I think they rightly said, this race has questions we probably should address now, but even if we did address them now, it wouldn’t change the outcome of the election, so there you have even the two most conservative justices saying even if we take this question up, which we think we should, there aren’t going to be enough votes to change the fact that Joe Biden’s the next president of the United States.”

Obviously, there was a level of desperation displayed by those trying to circumvent Biden’s victory that shows how conniving people like Ginni Thomas, Mark Meadows, and John Eastman are. They stopped at nothing but still lost anyway.

Maybe karma really does work.
