July 9 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins All In with Chris Hayes after he and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate potential violations of ethics, false statement, and tax laws by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the benefactors who have supplied him with undisclosed gifts.
Whitehouse and Wyden write in their letter that the full pattern of Justice Thomas’s omissions of outside income and luxury gifts from his legally required financial disclosures warrant criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.

The non-disclosure of gifts is a crime, but the FACT of the gifts is more important. A Supreme Court Justice should not EVER be allowed to accept gifts from political donors. And Chris, forgiving a quarter million dollar "loan" is not "essentially" a gift, it IS a gift (or, more accurately, a BRIBE). Thomas should be prosecuted, not admonished or impeached.
