Damn, it turns out that Chief Justice John Roberts is also engaged in shady dealing through his wife. Lifetime appointment means a lifetime of graft. No wonder he declined to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding financial disclosure violations and a lack of ethics by Justice Thomas -- he's doing it too!

Jane Roberts, who is married to Chief Justice John Roberts, made $10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms, whistleblower documents show

Two years after John Roberts' confirmation as the Supreme Court's chief justice in 2005, his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, made a pivot. After a long and distinguished career as a lawyer, she refashioned herself as a legal recruiter, a matchmaker who pairs job-hunting lawyers up with corporations and firms.


Roberts told a friend that the change was motivated by a desire to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest, given that her husband was now the highest-ranking judge in the country. "There are many paths to the good life," she said. "There are so many things to do if you're open to change and opportunity."


And life was indeed good for the Robertses, at least for the years 2007 to 2014. During that eight-year stretch, according to internal records from her employer, Jane Roberts generated a whopping $10.3 million in commissions, paid out by corporations and law firms for placing high-dollar lawyers with them.


That eye-popping figure comes from records in a whistleblower complaint filed by a disgruntled former colleague of Roberts, who says that as the spouse of the most powerful judge in the United States, the income she earns from law firms who practice before the Court should be subject to public scrutiny.

Wait so suddenly it’s bad when the spouse is making a lot of money? You fuckers have been silent about Nancy Pelosi making hundreds of millions of dollars in her time in office, all because her husband has insider trading with information Nancy is privy to.

But now it’s a problem. You fuckers aren’t even pretending to be serious adults anymore.

Tell us more how Thomas stepping foot in a mansion proves corruption.

Hundreds of millions huh? Not quite. Nancy Pelosi is worth roughly $106 million between assets and liabilities, which is still a very sizeable figure to have earned in her 36 years of service. But Nancy isn't a lifetime appointee and is one of more than four hundred votes in the House. Chief Justice Roberts meanwhile is a lifetime appointee and one of nine which hears cases as the highest court of the land, some of those cases being tied to benefactors of his wife. Conflict of interest? You bet.

Harlan Crow paid for Justice Thomas's wife, paid for his Mom, paid for the Justice himself in expensive six figure vacations, and now we find out he paid six figures for the Justice's grandson. Fucking unreal the corruption in the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas needs to go to jail if true.

Clarence Thomas Had a Child in Private School. Harlan Crow Paid the Tuition.

In 2008, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas decided to send his teenage grandnephew to Hidden Lake Academy, a private boarding school in the foothills of northern Georgia. The boy, Mark Martin, was far from home. For the previous decade, he had lived with the justice and his wife in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Thomas had taken legal custody of Martin when he was 6 years old and had recently told an interviewer he was “raising him as a son.”

Tuition at the boarding school ran more than $6,000 a month. But Thomas did not cover the bill. A bank statement for the school from July 2009, buried in unrelated court filings, shows the source of Martin’s tuition payment for that month: the company of billionaire real estate magnate Harlan Crow.

The payments extended beyond that month, according to Christopher Grimwood, a former administrator at the school. Crow paid Martin’s tuition the entire time he was a student there, which was about a year, Grimwood told ProPublica.

“Harlan picked up the tab,” said Grimwood, who got to know Crow and the Thomases and had access to school financial information through his work as an administrator.

Before and after his time at Hidden Lake, Martin attended a second boarding school, Randolph-Macon Academy in Virginia. “Harlan said he was paying for the tuition at Randolph-Macon Academy as well,” Grimwood said, recalling a conversation he had with Crow during a visit to the billionaire’s Adirondacks estate.


ProPublica interviewed Martin, his former classmates and former staff at both schools. The exact total Crow paid for Martin’s education over the years remains unclear. If he paid for all four years at the two schools, the price tag could have exceeded $150,000, according to public records of tuition rates at the schools.

Thomas did not report the tuition payments from Crow on his annual financial disclosures. Several years earlier, Thomas disclosed a gift of $5,000 for Martin’s education from another friend. It is not clear why he reported that payment but not Crow’s.

Damn. Just one of those vacations is more money than the total earnings in your entire life. How does that make you feel Seran?
