Ginni Thomas said she "can't wait" for Jan. 6 interview. Now her lawyer says it's too "stressful"

An attorney for Virginia "Ginni" Thomas argued that she should not have to testify before the Jan. 6 Committee because she has been subjected to a "particularly stressful time."

The Daily Caller first reported that attorney Mark R. Paoletta provided the committee with a letter on behalf of the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

"Before I can recommend that she meet with you, I am asking the Committee to provide a better justification for why Mrs. Thomas's testimony is relevant to the Committee's legislative purpose," Paoletta wrote in the eight-page letter.

The attorney added: "I would also note that this has been a particularly stressful time as the Thomases have been subjected to an avalanche of death threats and other abuse by the unprecedented assault on the conservative Supreme Court Justices and their families."

She truly experiences all the signs that are consistent with pregnancy.

And she had better deliver, or you know what!

She's not overly clever but she knows that she would not survive a skilled examination by the Committee's lawyers.

"Justice" Thomas knows it would be a really bad idea for the shadow justice to testify.
