It’s been known in Kansas (and probably nationally) for at least 10 years what an asshole Kobach is. And yet they elected him AG anyway. Publishing something like this before the election wouldn’t have made any difference.
Is the $199 loophole common knowledge? How did he learn about it?
He would be aware that he has to keep receipts for any expenditure $200 or over. Those are the rules as written.
Thomas said she regretted the fact that the messages “became public.”
I haven’t looked for the actual quote, but here’s the transcript (PDF). It’s 136 pages and doesn’t appear to be Ctrl-F searchable, at least not in Firefox.

Also, I’m not sure if I was even aware there’s a 1/6 website, but here it is.

Sounds like somebody is trying to cover her ass before indictments come down.
Was there as shortage of… something that made it impossible for that headline to accurately state what she said?
Is journalistic integrity the term you are looking for? Yeah, probably.
Click bait will always win over comprehension or accuracy in headlines.
True… but, I regret what I did is less ‘click baity’ than I regret I got caught.
Nice. She regrets the fact that people found out that she was a piece of shit who was conspiring to destroy the country based on her lies.
Oh, how very sorry she is (that she was caught)
I’m interested to see if Trump gives her the Hannity treatment. Whether he’s ever reelected or not, he probably shouldn’t be pissing off a supreme court justice ('s wife) any more than he already has. He’s likely to need as many of them on his side as he can get in the coming months/years.
The spectacle possibility of the wife of a Supreme being indicted-- especially C. Thomas’s-- is pretty delicious, I gotta admit. But she regrets something-or-other about the business, so I guess she’s in the clear.
The spectacle of getting convicted is the only thing that causes her to regret it.
I agree that she’s a piece of shit, as is Trump and many others. But what laws did she break? Was she ever under oath when she lied?
Well, it’s a step up from Susan Collins’ concern.
The charge would be that she was involved along with Eastman in the conspiracy to commit fraud against the US government by promoting the Pence fake elector scenario (and maybe trying to influence her husband). I don’t know that there is any solid evidence of this, (I haven’t read either Ginny’s testimony or the Committee final report) but that is what they were looking into.
Back in July, Devin (LegalEagle) outlined most of the crimes those being investigated by the committee could be charged with.
Are there laws that prohibit sedition? Being the wife of a high government official should make a person especially vulnerable to suchlike restrictions, if they exist.
Of course there are.
I’m not sure why this should be the case, but it certainly is the case that if Clarence Thomas had even a gram of integrity, he would recuse himself from any case remotely related to Trump or Jan. 6, or simply resign from the shame of being married to someone who was working to overthrow the government of the United States. The notion that he had no idea what she was up to defies credibility.
Oh right, she was in contact with Eastman. Clarence should be impeached. He is not to be trusted.
Well, the Dems didn’t do it when they had a House majority, so it’ll never happen now. And of course the Senate would never have convicted. Besides which, it would have been a pointless, self-defeating exercise and would have distracted from the Jan. 6 investigation.
Clarence should (if there’s any justice in the world) drop dead sometime in the next two years, but other than that he’s not going anywhere.
