What flummoxes me is: Why is all of this reporting happening within the span of like three weeks? Either someone near them decided the Thomases have grafted his last grift, or... were reporters like "oh, maybe we should dig into the financial records of the most outwardly-corrupt-appearing member of the most powerful court in the world after all". It's pretty wild that Clarence, Ginni, et al. were probably like "And if they catch us? It won't even matter, right? Is there any legal recourse? Regardless, the party will close ranks around us", and their calculus was correct.
