Politico has something they call “news.”

Donald Trump’s attorneys saw a direct appeal to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as their best hope of derailing Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election, according to emails newly disclosed to congressional investigators.

“We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue some sort of stay or other circuit justice opinion saying Georgia is in legitimate doubt,” Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a Dec. 31, 2020, email to Trump’s legal team. Chesebro contended that Thomas would be “our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by Jan. 6, which might hold up the Georgia count in Congress.”

I know I’m just stunned that anyone would think Thomas and his wife might be willing to step outside judicial ethics to help Trump. What gave anyone that idea?

Babe, if you need need conspiracy in writing, the Trump lawyer brigade is suited-up and ready to play.

On the other hand, if your best chance at anything is Clarence Thomas, you’re screwed.
