The Thomases’ history of hobnobbing with a conservative billionaire might do him in, but it should be fairly obvious that Harlan Crow is not in Donald Trump’s hip pocket, or any pocket.
The "garden of evil" stuff is a distraction from the very real concerns that need be addressed. The rules definitely need to change to avoid even the appearance of corruption: it should be noted that cases have been brought by AEI- should Thomas have recused himself in those due to receiving gifts from one of their board members?
The secret exchange of material value is what makes it corrupt.
I think the liberals who go after every prominent black conservative are RACIST!! RACIST I say! How dare well-off blacks leave the democrat plantation and have conservative white spouses and well-off white friends?
Justice Thomas' head on a platter
This could have been avoided with some basic disclosures Thomas stopped making the last time this came topic up:

Well, this sure doesn't help Thomas's deniability of a financial relationship: https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-real-estate-scotus
