Thomas stands for everything our elites hate: free speech, due process, fair elections, and every individual right in the Constitution\u2019s Bill of Rights. Paradoxically, the left seems to find this especially galling because he is the descendant of slaves.<\/p>\n<p>But for all these decades, they haven\u2019t been able to get him. Cue House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s show trial masquerading as an investigation of a three-hour protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. It was a protest that got out of hand when the Capitol Police took the most peculiar step of opening the Capitol doors wide to the protesters.<\/p>\n<p>And who is the congressional committee\u2019s scapegoat of choice for the J6 star chamber? Thomas\u2019s wife, Ginni. Interestingly, PolitiFact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2022\/jan\/11\/facebook-posts\/theres-no-evidence-ginni-thomas-organized-jan-6-ev\/\">concluded<\/a> that there is no evidence Mrs. Thomas had anything to do with organizing the Jan. 6 protests. So the committee and its media cohorts have been on a propagandistic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kktv.com\/2022\/06\/16\/jan-6-panel-wants-hear-ginni-thomas-chairman-says\/\">fishing<\/a> expedition. <\/p>\n<p>For example, they located some text messages with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in which Thomas expressed concerns about the 2020 electoral process. They dug up emails in which she asked Trump lawyer John Eastman to provide updates on what was going on with election litigation. And so on. They\u2019ll keep trying to cobble together their desired picture. In the end, they\u2019ll just make it all up (a specialty of Rep. Adam Schiff\u2019s, D-Calif.)<\/p>\n<p>So, since they haven\u2019t been able to destroy Justice Thomas after years of trying, they hope to get to him through his wife. It\u2019s a sickening tactic, one reflecting the worst of totalitarian regimes, including Joseph Stalin\u2019s Russia and Mao Zedong\u2019s China. But the tactic reveals an even deeper goal. They detest anyone who dares defend real freedom. And they can\u2019t stand anyone who exercises that freedom.<\/p>\n<p>So watch what they are doing to Ginni Thomas: their disrespect for her private life, their double standards of justice, their shameless smear campaigns. Observe their intent to destroy her husband through her. Watch it. Because it is what they have in mind for you and me and any American who values freedom and a private life.<\/p>\n<h2>We Are All Ginni Thomas Now<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever heard Ginni Thomas speak (to the extent the media permits you to really hear her) you can immediately see she is the real deal. If you are a person of good will, you will see a kind-hearted person who strives for fairness and looks for goodness in everyone. <\/p>\n<p>She obviously loves America. She values its constitutional guarantees of individual rights for everybody. There is absolutely no guile in her.<\/p>\n<p>But in the eyes of this congressional witch hunt, Thomas\u2019s devotion to the American concept of \u201cliberty and justice for all\u201d is the big crime. It\u2019s a concept that leads to the idea of \u201cone man, one vote\u201d and free speech and real debate \u2014 all of which run counter to the Democrats\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/04\/17\/pandemic-panic-has-magnified-the-worst-impulses-of-the-power-hungry-elite\/\">self-professed goal<\/a> of permanent one-party rule.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone needs to understand that if Ginni Thomas has no right to express her opinions and have conversations about those opinions with family, friends, and acquaintances as a private citizen, then <em>neither do you<\/em>. If she has no right to ask obvious questions \u2014 in this case questions about election integrity, but it could be about anything else \u2014 then <em>neither do you<\/em>. Everything they are trying to pin on Thomas about her \u201cactivism\u201d and possibly \u201cinfluencing\u201d her husband or trying to \u201coverturn\u201d the 2020 election is b-llsh-t.<\/p>\n<p><em>Everybody<\/em> has a right to question any election they want. Just as the Democrats in Congress put on non-stop show trials for four years in which they pushed the <em>now-proven<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/18\/spygate-101-a-primer-on-the-russia-collusion-hoaxs-years-long-plot-to-take-down-trump\/\">bald-faced lie<\/a> that the 2016 election was \u201cstolen,\u201d every private citizen has the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rigged-Media-Democrats-Seized-Elections\/dp\/168451259X\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GP6F00XCXBQQ&#038;keywords=hemingway+rigged&#038;qid=1656291351&#038;sprefix=hemingway+rigge%2Caps%2C94&#038;sr=8-1\">to ask questions<\/a>, especially about weird and unprecedented electoral procedures. Particularly in light of the elites\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5936036\/secret-2020-election-campaign\/\">Time magazine admission<\/a> of how they rigged it, after all. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>The Complete Trashing of the Bill of Rights<\/h2>\n<p>So if you really want to understand where the J6 \u201chearings\u201d are going with their attack on Ginni Thomas, you should see it as a proxy attack on every American citizen. Just look at the scandalous treatment of non-violent J6 defendants who are handled like Soviet-era political prisoners by a now putrefied Department of Justice (DOJ), all with the apparent concurrence of congressional Democrats. Just look at the Stalinist-styled pre-dawn raids being conducted by the Federal Bureau of so-called Investigation. If Congress wasn\u2019t so corrupt, we\u2019d have an investigation into these heinous, un-American acts.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat-controlled Congress apparently has contempt for each and every right <a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/learn\/educational-resources\/historical-documents\/bill-of-rights\">enumerated in the Bill of Rights<\/a>. The policy positions they push are all about <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/02\/how-ending-freedom-of-expression-gives-up-your-right-to-a-private-life\/\">destroying your private life<\/a>. Let\u2019s check them off, one by one. <\/p>\n<p>They routinely limit your <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-1\/\">First Amendment<\/a> rights to freedom of thought, speech, writing, and association under the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/01\/28\/democrats-equality-act-would-be-a-big-nudge-towards-a-u-s-social-credit-system\/\">guise of non-discrimination<\/a>. As the treatment of J6 protesters shows, you have no right to petition for an address of your grievances. The <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-2\/\">Second Amendment<\/a> is now on their chopping block because they don\u2019t want you to be able to defend your rights or the people you love.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats\u2019 constant attacks on the right to private property \u2014 and giving license to mobs to harass officials at their homes \u2014 look like attacks on the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-3\/\">Third Amendment<\/a>. The FBI\u2019s middle-of-the-night raids on the homes of citizens like Jeff Clark and James O\u2019Keefe and Roger Stone spits in the face of the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-4\/\">Fourth Amendment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats\u2019 subpoena of Ginni Thomas is a ruse to try to invent testimony against her husband as well as against herself, in violation both of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/spousal_privilege\">spousal privilege<\/a> and of the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-5\/\">Fifth Amendment<\/a>. (Or, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4TAazqLnKfo\">Schiff seems to be aiming for:<\/a> creating the impression of impropriety by publicly airing what spouses talk about in their private lives.) <\/p>\n<p>The DOJ has clearly violated the Sixth Amendment by preventing J6 defendants from having a speedy trial. Many were detained and incarcerated without being charged. This brings us to the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-7\/\">Seventh Amendment<\/a>\u2019s right to a trial by jury, presumably an impartial jury. It is laughable to presume that any jury pool in the exceedingly leftist District of Columbia would allow a fair trial to any Jan. 6 defendant.<\/p>\n<p>If you follow <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/author\/julie-kelly\/\">Julie Kelly\u2019s superb investigative reporting<\/a> on the treatment of J6 defendants in the D.C. jail, you should be outraged that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2022\/04\/18\/mom-of-j6-political-prisoner-we-are-half-alive\/\">cruel and unusual<\/a> punishment of defendants \u2014 including solitary confinement for long periods, beatings, and the withholding of medical treatment for offenses like \u201cparading\u201d \u2014 are in direct <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-8\/\">violation of the Eighth Amendment<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>No doubt congressional Democrats view the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-9\/\">Ninth Amendment<\/a> as a total joke since they don\u2019t seem to believe Americans should have any individual rights at all. Finally, they hate the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/constitution\/amendment-10\/\">Tenth Amendment<\/a> because it means that you might be able to escape their grasp by regaining your individual rights in a state like Florida governed by Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<h2>Parading a Private Citizen as a Scare Tactic<\/h2>\n<p>So much for the Bill of Rights. Attacking family members \u2014 and the private lives of perceived opponents \u2014 is behavior typical of all totalitarian systems. Ginni Thomas is simply the private citizen whom the committee hopes to parade as an example of <em>what will happen to you <\/em>(and your families) if you don\u2019t conform and comply with their demands.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019ll be able to live unmolested by elitists who so routinely abuse their power, think again.<\/p>\n<p>One of the committee\u2019s key goals is to tamper with the Supreme Court. They want to eliminate a justice who has a non-negotiable respect for due process. But they also hope to make sure his wife, a private citizen, doesn\u2019t speak to him without their express permission and surveillance. If they can do that to her, they\u2019re on the road to doing it to every one of us.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Stella Morabito is a senior contributor at The Federalist.
