Justice Thomas’s R.V. Loan Was Forgiven, Senate Inquiry Finds
The justice failed to repay much, perhaps all, of the $267,230 loan. His benefactor wiped the slate clean, with ethical and potential tax consequences.
@3dogcouch it shouldn't be a problem to charge and try a justice for breaking a federal law.
It has to be breaking of an actual federal law, though, not simply the way the justice conducts themselves in office. That's what impeachment is for; none of the DOJ's business.
Remember, the reason there's a special exception against charging a sitting president is because DOJ acts under authority of the president, so it would be the president charging himself, causing a conflict of interests.
That conflict doesn't come up with justices.
@3dogcouch maybe.
Keep in mind that the sort of outfit who breaks and pushes this sort of story have a reputation for not telling the whole story, for pushing a sensationalized narrative to get clicks.
So it's hard for us to say what the legal status really is since we don't have all of the info.
