‘Impeachment Material’: MSNBC’s Glenn Kirschner Says Clarence Thomas Could Be Ousted Over Ginni’s Jan. 6 Texts
Former federal prosecutor and current MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner told SiriusXM guest-host Jody Hamilton that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas could be “impeached” based on the reporting that came out this week.
Hamilton — host of the From The Bunker podcast — filled in for Stephanie Miller on Friday’s episode of The Stephanie Miller Show, and asked about the revelation that Ginni Thomas, Justice Thomas’ wife, was texting with Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows about overturning the election.
Kirschner said Justice Thomas’ conduct in failing to recuse himself from a related decision is “impeachment material” based on what has been reported:
MR. KIRSCHNER: What Justice Thomas did was deeply, deeply unethical at a minimum. Mm-Hmm. I mean, a sitting Supreme Court justice who decided to participate in a case that involved his wife’s wrongdoing, not recusing himself, not removing himself as every judge in the land knows he or she is supposed to do when they even have the appearance of conflict. Right? Not just an actual conflict. Actual conflict is the third rail of conflict law. And Thomas knows that, and he ignored it. And instead, he voted to hide from the J-6 committee and by extension, from the American people, deeply damaging evidence of his wife’s misconduct. And it wasn’t just shoplifting. It was an attempt to overthrow our government in the presidency. And Justice Thomas voted to bury it to protect his wife. That’s, again, I don’t want to jump right to that’s impeachment material. But that’s impeachment material if it is proven the way it appears to be based on the reporting. So, I mean, the legitimate legitimacy of the Supreme Court is lower than whale droppings.
MS. HAMILTON: Yes. Yeah, it is. And to remind everybody he was the lone justice to vote to hide that information. It was an eight to one vote.
Kirschner went on to say that Mrs. Thomas could also face legal exposure, telling Hamilton “those texts are what we prosecutors would call incriminating,” and that Thomas used “her position, her influence, her obvious contacts to one very important person to gain access to the president’s chief of staff and urge him to criminally overturn the election’s results. I would call that legally significant.”
