Good one Judd. Gave it to old Sexton right smack in the kisser! He sees no evil, no infractions or harassment, no nothing and he approves his own thievery at the tax-free rate no less. He needs to be removed from office, as I doubt that he will willingly step down.

Sexton isn't the only one and say, did you hear about Gorsuch and HIS murky real estate deals? The RW party of constant criminals parties on.

Oh yeah! Gorsuch is a card carrying member of the RW party of constant criminals. What else would one possibly expect?

I read the article and recognized the “public/private” euphemism for what it is and does but don’t see the Neil Gorsuch connection or misuse of funds to his benefit. I’m interested to know where he fits in and how he benefits.

Leah, respectfully, I think the facts of the Gorsuch matter, including timing of the sale of his home, make it plain how blatant this reporting omission is.

Gorsuch's home, which lingered on the market for 2 years, suddenly and miraculously found a buyer nine days after he's confirmed to SCOTUS. That buyer happened to be CEO of a massive law firm that routinely has business before the nation's highest court. After the sale and payment was made, with sales documents referencing Gorsuch's company, Walden Group, not Gorsuch, Old Neil manages to remember that he got proceeds of $250-500K from a sale his company made, but forgot to disclose that they sold his home for almost $2M to the CEO of a law firm that would love to benefit from some of his favorable opinions. He and the Dishonorable Clarence Thomas are vying for top dishonorable mentions. The only reason Thomas wins out is the sheer length of time and volume of graft.

I can't claim every liberally leaning judge is pristine but more of these SCOTUS right-wing guys seem to be on the take.

Yes I’ve been doing my own reading on Gorsuch, didn’t recognize any connection in the link.

Relating to the link that Adam posted, the principal owner of Gorsuch Haus, Jeff Gorsuch, is Neil's cousin. Jeff fronted a concern in 2019 that bought the rights to an acre of prime land at the base of a ski mountain in Aspen for $10M with a $4M taxpayer subsidy. The pitch to municipal leaders was that they planned to develop a $200M hotel, and their locally based concern would own and operate it. Locals narrowly approved the sale by under 30 votes. Fast forward to 2022, not that long after the land sale closes, and Jeff and his group sold the land rights to a Russian billionaire for over $76M, after lobbying locals hard to allow them to buy it under the guise that he and the other local 'small businessmen' would be the ones managing the development, ownership and business operations from end to end. The link I posted below relays how the locals, residents and officials alike, felt hoodwinked. I think that Adam's point is that duplicity and shady practices in land deals seems to run in the family.

Anytime. That's what makes these comment threads so great. In addition to discussing the enlightening reporting from PI, we can make each other aware of other related items. Glad the additional info helped.

I concur. Forgive me if I am uninformed, but I see "Jeff Gorsuch," not "Neil."
