Funded by Harlan Crow, who was recently exposed for footing the bill for Ginni and Clarence Thomas’ lavish vacations and more, the Supreme Court justice’s wife worked with Federalist So…
Crow provided the initial donations for Liberty Central, the group Thomas and Leo created, that was among the first of whatdescribes as a “billion-dollar network of groups, most of which are registered as tax-exempt charities or social welfare organizations.” Liberty Central’s goal was to combat a number of Obama era efforts, including health care reform. When the group and its leadership became public, Thomas was forced to sever her ties with the group.
But she immediately created a for-profit consulting business with a similar name, Liberty Consulting. Leo then used a previously dormant tax-exempt group, Judicial Education Project , to pay Thomas a similar amount to what Liberty Central had paid her. JEP would later submit a number of amicus briefs to the Supreme Court advocating for conservative causes.
