      You guys have no clue what journalism is if you think establishment media like MSNBC and Lawrence are "investigative journalism". Joerogain - someone else did that research, reading and writing the script for Lawrence, I assure you. Also, it's a smear job. Anyone who reads Atlantic knows that they are absolutely viciously against situations like Crowe+Thomas and that sentence Lawrence describes is absolutely an expression of cynicism typical for the style they write it - they didn't write "claims" because they expected their readers to be intelligent and to know they are being deeply cynical while claiming that - it's a stylistic literature tool.

Crowe's "oddity" is arguably pathological and you made that point brilliantly without using the term. Brilliance in action! Thank you, Lawrence, and keep well.

      True that. I don't give a fig about whose tea service or paintings or statues Harlan Crow owns, that's just posturing and nothing else. But if a SCJ can be so obviously bribed, and people act like Crow just going "nooo, bribery, not ever, we never talked about court cases" solved the matter - how on earth is any US citizen supposed to respect that Supreme Court?

      But, though O'Donnell's observations on this distortion of journalism are astute, isn't 'access journalism' an apt descriptor for the too close relationship of MSNBC and the Democratic Party? I think that's an observation that needs to be given some head space in viewers minds. MSNBC viewers can readily see the 'in bed' relationship of Fox and the Republican Party, but spend at least some time being a bit conscious (and dare I suggest a bit 'wary' ) of this media outlet's indefatigable enthusiasm for all policies and personalities in the Democratic Party. Be intellectually honest. It won't hurt you, or journalism, or national politics... it will help all three.

Just because you have the wealth to buy these vile objects doesn't ever make it a normal thing to do. It is just another gruesome thing to add to all the rest of his questionable behaviour up to date. Thomas and Crow have obviously had many legal discussions in their long friendship, but then expect no one to ever think differently. They are both fooling themselves if they think anyone with an ounce of common sense will ever believe that. Someone in the DOJ should be dealing with yet another avenue of deceit and corruption that has infected and poisoned the court system against the poorer class.

    It's about being mesmerized by power, power to own things that belonged to a mass murderer, own a supreme court justice, power to violate his childrens need for safety and get them used to the boundary violation.....

      Power And the Idolization of Money.
      People don't realize the POWER the Federalist Society (shadow Recruiting/Indoctrination Organizations) and other groups have on newly graduated & extremely intelligent Members of the Bar.
      It's like they welcome them into their lair and put A Spell on Them.
      More like let them run rampant then BLACKMAIL them into place. 😮

    Crow's example about helping an elderly person reveals his true subliminal thought, that he would be doing it for an evil intent. Most people would have judged simply that, inspite of his wealth, he was still kind enough to assist a golden ager. Revealing.

    Yes...I would like Harlan Crow to answer the simple question: If Clarence Thomas wasn't a SCOTUS judge, would they be friends today? And what does Clarence Thomas think/feel when he's sitting at the Garden of Evil with his privilege's friends, knowing why it's called that way?

      Those people don’t tell Truths, and c.t. most certainly has no feelings that the vast majority of us could possibly relate to.

      If Clarence Thomas was not a SCOTUS I don't think they would be friends. Hitler (whom Harlan seems to admire) just like with the Jews, would never approve.

    Crow replaced hitler's portrait with a Supreme Court Justice and now he can constantly be reminded that he *owns* Thomas.

    Thank you Lawrence for being one of my favorite facts and truths 💯 tellers. Saying it so we all understand is most important.Crow had no interest in Clarence Thomas until Thomas became a justice. Funny how I just can't imagine those 2 really enjoying each other unless they have something specific in common. Listening carefully to what is being said here,just Listening. Crows morbid need to have hitlers things all around you and enjoying them is so hideous, morbid. My grandmother's parents were Jewish and 😱 😱 a person like crow and Thomas's what they might have in common makes me tear up and get mad.we must have ethics for Supreme Court now. What 💯 💯 an honor it would have been to meet Mr.King

    Mr. O'Donnell, thank you sir. You quite adeptly put Harlan Crow in a light so that regular, knowledgeable and caring humans can contrast their humanity with that of a person who idolizes Hitler. Crow is not reviled by his collection, he loves it. There ARE monsters among us.
