#ImpeachClarenceThomas #impeachkellyanneConway Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work in 2012, but a conservative activist instructed her name be left off billing paperwork, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Leonard Leo, a powerful figure in conservative circles who was the vice president of the Federalist Society, instructed pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill a conservative nonprofit group $25,000 and “give” the money to Ginni Thomas, according to documents reviewed by the newspaper. Conway billed the group, the Judicial Education Project, that day, citing “supplement for constitution polling and opinion consulting” as the service.

“No mention of Ginni, of course,” Leo added to Conway of the payment for Thomas.

The Post said Conway’s firm, The Polling Company, ultimately paid Thomas’ own firm $80,000 from June 2011 to June 2012, with more money to follow. Conway later became a 2016 campaign manager and then White House counselor to Donald Trump.    https://news.yahoo.com/activist-helped-direct-payments-ginni-023002289.html
