"Voices for reform in one of the country’s most loyal and deferential #faith groups are getting louder...

“Even the church’s most ardent defenders know there is some credibility to their concerns,”...

“It’s such a sacrifice to pay 10 percent of your income; it’s so personal,” Dehlin said. “And when you find out the church doesn’t need your money and has been evading responsibility, that impacts people directly.”

"For decades, he was a committed church member, tithing 10% of his income, as the faith expects.

But when another church member filed an IRS #whistleblower complaint in 2019, Huntsman’s theological and spiritual doubts shifted to anger...

David Nielsen’s complaint alleged that the church had been #hoarding $100 billion in tithes and had used a few billion in tax-free dollars meant for #charity to build an upscale mall."

This story of how #corruption permeates the highest level of our country's legal and political systems continues to unravel and yet there is no action. This is shameful, and deadly for our democracy. What #GinniThomas and #LeonardLeo wrought: How a justice’s wife and a key activist started a movement. Thanks to #SCOTUS #CitizensUnited ruling, a trove of so-called #darkmoney was about to be unleashed. 2 activists prepared to seize the moment. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/10/ginni-thomas-leonard-leo-citizens-united-00108082

Astonishing claims of hidden bank accounts and corruption at the German Parkinson Association, which is supposed to represent patients with Parkinson's Disease.

The new board there is trying to clear up a long-running litany of misdeeds: Diverting millions of Euros of donations to a hidden account for personal use, giving well-paid "jobs" to family members etc.

More transparency is needed with these self-declared "patient organisations".

The Contagious #Corruption of Ken #Paxton

The charges against Paxton, to which he pleads not guilty, center primarily on his relationship with an investor named Nate Paul. Paxton is accused of providing favors to Paul, including using the power of his office in an attempt to stop foreclosure sales of Paul’s properties, ordering employees not to assist law enforcement investigating Paul and even providing Paul with “highly sensitive information” about an F.B.I. raid

The law may not require it, but no justice worthy of the name would do so.

@CREW

While I have little doubt that #SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas will go down in #history, I strongly suspect it will not be in the way he expects.

Or maybe he *does* expect to be remembered as a corrupt ideologue, and is perfectly happy sitting on his rich "friend"'s deck, smoking a stogie, and giving a finger to the American public.

The contempt trial of #PeterNavarro is beginning today. He continues to refuse to comply with a subpoena, and is forcing the trial.

"Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island said recent public comments by #Alito “appear to violate several canons of judicial #ethics, including standards the #SupremeCourt has long applied to itself”...

“At the end, Justice Alito is the beneficiary of his own improper opining.... improperly using one’s office to further a personal interest: a justice obstructing a congressional investigation that implicates his own conduct.”

The judge defending Clarence Thomas has his own ethical conundrum
_____
Unlike Supreme Court justices, other federal judges are subject to ethical rules, and Federal Appeals Court Judge Amul Thapar appears to have violated them by using government employees (his law clerks) to help him write his book, "The People's Justice: Clarence Thomas and the Constitutional Stories that Define Him."

Texas braces for historic Attorney General Ken Paxton impeachment trial https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/texas-braces-historic-attorney-general-ken-paxton-impeachment-trial-rcna102239

In the annuls of crooks in history, Ken Paxton is a legend of a crook. He has no ethics or a moral bottom. It is fascinating to follow his crimes.

However, in Texas where corruption runs Texas size by the Republicans, Ken may not have as much trouble as he deserves.
