The Mainstream Media may not be interested in the Biden family’s corruption and money laundering but they have no qualms about going after legally appropriate gifts when it comes to conservatives.
In another heinous attack on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginny Thomas, the mainstream media is crying foal on one of their relatives getting an education. The couple’s attorney has responded to a report about billionaire Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow paying for the education of their relative.

Lately, the conservative Supreme Court Justice has been under major scrutiny for his friendship with Crow. The billionaire and the Thomas family has has gone on vacations together over the years. Recently a ProPublica report stated that Crow paid for the education of Mark Martin, Thomas’ great grandnephew that Thomas took custody of when the boy was 6 years old.
“Justice Thomas and his wife made immeasurable personal and financial sacrifices and poured every ounce of their lives and hearts into giving their great nephew a chance to succeed,” the attorney for the Thomases, Mark Paoletta said on Twitter.

According to the lawyer in 2006, when Martin was a teenager, the family was trying to decide where he would attend college. It was Crow who recommended he be sent to his alma mater, Randolph Macon Academy.
Crow had supported the school and funded scholarships there for decades, so he “offered to pay the first year of Justice Thomas’s great nephew’s tuition in 2006, and that payment went directly to the school,” Paoletta explained.
“After some time, Randolph Macon recommended the great-nephew attend a boarding school in Georgia for one year. Harlan offered to pay the first year of tuition for their great-nephew at the Georgia school, and again, those tuition payments went directly to the school.”
This article is not about Clarence Thomas, so the mainstream media will censor it.

Because Martin’s tuition payments were made directly to the school on his behalf, Thomas did not need to report the gift as the law would require if the gift had been given to the family directly. Paoletta continued by explaining that Thomas never asked Crow to pay Martin’s tuition.
“This malicious story shows nothing except for the fact that the Thomases and the Crows are kind, generous, and loving people who tried to help this young man,” Paoletta concluded.
Now a man in his 30s, Martin told ProPublica that he was unaware that Crow paid his tuition. However, he defended the billionaire and Thomas’. “I think his intentions behind everything is just a friend and just a good person,” he said.
