After the attempted assassination (https://www.nationalreview.com/news/explosives-found-in-car-of-would-be-trump-assassin-thomas-matthew-crooks/?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=article) of Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon, July 13, a long list of prominent Democrats — including President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) — forcefully condemned the attack, emphasizing that such violence has no place in U.S. politics.
Regardless, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) — once a scathing critic of Trump but now a devoted loyalist and possible running mate — blamed Democrats for the assassination attempt. Some other Republicans have pointed the finger at Democrats as well.
During an MSNBC segment on July 14, national security reporter Ken Dilanian warned that the Proud Boys and other far-right extremist groups have responded to the attack by calling for a civil war.

(https://youtu.be/eYfvEBLDohI), "Several Republican members of Congress have directly blamed President Biden, the Democrats and the media for the assassination attempt. They claim it was a result of overheated rhetoric about Trump and part of a campaign to jeopardize his safety. So, for example, Georgia Republican Congressman Mike Collins posted, quote, 'Joe Biden sent the orders.'"
Dilanian continued, "And Trump campaign surrogate Nick Adams posted, on social media, quote, 'Joe Biden's rhetoric is directly responsible. There can be no discussion. This is a fact.'"
The that although Democrats have "called Donald Trump an authoritarian and a threat to democracy," they "have never hinted that violence was an appropriate response to that."
(https://youtu.be/eYfvEBLDohI), vid?]
"After this shooting, Democrats, including President Biden, have condemned it in the strongest possible terms, and they've called this political violence a threat to democracy…. And experts are worried that this kind of rhetoric increases the risk of more violence."

The MSNBC reporter warned that according to national security experts, "extremists" are "seizing on this incident.
"Telegram channels for branches of the Proud Boys militia group have been calling for civil war and violence,"
(https://youtu.be/eYfvEBLDohI). "According to Advance Democracy — that's an NGO that tracks this stuff — a user on one forum wrote that the Democratic National Committee, RINOs, and the feds, quote, 'should all be hung in the streets of D.C.' And users on a pro-Trump platform, Patriots.Win, are calling for violence and civil war. One user wrote, 'War now. They don't want to live and let live.' Some really dangerous rhetoric coursing around out there, Kate."
Dilanian observed that although some members of Congress are trying to calm the situation down, "flame-throwing politicians" are "not doing that at all."
"As long as there is some group of people who are throwing gasoline on the fire,"](https://youtu.be/eYfvEBLDohI), "there are sort of a group of deranged individuals out there that are listening to it, paying close attention, and think they are essentially in a civil war."

The Guardian reports the “analysis of the amicus briefs was carried out by Advance Democracy Inc, a non-partisan organization specializing in public-interest research and investigations.”
It “shows that 38 of the 74 anti-abortion amicus briefs – 51% – were produced by entities and individuals with links to Ginni Thomas. They included rightwing groups, religious interests, prominent conservative individuals and lawyers.”
That analysis also shows “an intricate web of connections between many of the most influential groups and figures on the conservative hard right, with Ginni Thomas at the centre of it. Several of the links run through her consultancy, Liberty Consulting, which she set up in 2010 and which brags that it can ‘give access to any door in Washington.'”

The Guardian does not state if Thomas received any compensation, financial or otherwise, for her efforts, but if she did, that could lead to even greater calls of conflict of interest.
“Many of the interests to which Ginni Thomas was connected who filed anti-abortion amicus briefs have a parallel track record of anti-LGBT agitating. The founder of CNP, Tim LaHaye, was an evangelical Christian minister and a virulent homophobe,” The Guardian also notes. “His 1978 book The Unhappy Gays depicted gay people as ‘militant, organized’ and ‘vile’. ‘Homosexuality is a blight on humanity,’ he wrote. ‘Many parents would prefer the death of their child to his adopting the unhappy wretchedness of homosexuality.'”...

Analysis of ‘amicus briefs’ shows how closely Clarence Thomas’s wife was entwined with rightwing effort to reverse 1973 ruling
Ed Pilkington in New York
@edpilkington
Fri 9 Sep 2022
Ginni Thomas, the self-styled “culture warrior” and extreme rightwing activist, has links to more than half of the anti-abortion groups and individuals who lobbied her husband Clarence Thomas and his fellow US supreme court justices ahead of their historic decision to eradicate a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy.
A new analysis of the written legal arguments, or “amicus briefs”, used to lobby the justices as they deliberated over abortion underlines the extent to which Clarence Thomas’s wife was intertwined with this vast pressure campaign.
The survey found that 51% of the parties who filed amicus briefs calling for an end to a federal abortion right have political connections to Ginni Thomas, raising concerns about a possible conflict of interest at the highest levels of the US judiciary.
[The abortion rights movement can learn from the Aids activism of the 80s and 90s
Moira Donegan
The six-to-three rightwing majority of the court, supercharged by Donald Trump’s three appointed conservative justices, in June overthrew the constitutional right to an abortion. Clarence Thomas was among the six who voted for the hotly contested ruling, Dobbs v Jackson.
The ruling was one of the most consequential in the supreme court’s 233-year history. It has triggered the lightning spread of partial or total abortion bans across Republican-controlled states, affecting almost one in three women aged 15 to 44.
The Dobbs case, brought by Mississippi which sought to ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, attracted an almost unprecedented 130 amicus briefs from both sides of the legal argument. Of those, 74 were filed in favour of overturning the right to an abortion, enshrined in 1973 in Roe v Wade.
In turn, the new analysis shows that 38 of the 74 anti-abortion amicus briefs – 51% – were produced by entities and individuals with links to Ginni Thomas. They included rightwing groups, religious interests, prominent conservative individuals and lawyers.
“The Thomases are normalizing the prospect of too close an association between the supreme court and those who litigate before it,” said Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast. “This isn’t the first time that Mrs Thomas has had dealings with those who come before the court and seek her husband’s vote.”
The revelation that there is substantial overlap between Ginni Thomas and the anti-abortion lobbying effort focused on her husband and the other conservative justices will intensify the growing sense of unease surrounding her hyper-energetic conservative activism. In recent years she has placed herself in the thick of some of the most bitterly contested political controversies that have come – or could come – before the court.
Earlier this year, the New Yorker published an investigation into the mounting evidence of possible conflicts of interest under the headline: ‘Is Ginni Thomas a threat to the supreme court?’
Thomas has been dubbed a “radical insurrectionist” for her role in backing Trump’s attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election. Yet her husband has refused to recuse himself from cases relating to the insurrection, including one in January in which he became the only justice to dissent in an 8-1 decision over allowing hundreds of documents held by the National Archives to be reviewed by the House committee investigating the January 6 storming of the US Capitol.
Five weeks after that decision, it was revealed that leading up to January 6 Ginni Thomas exchanged 29 text messages with Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, urging him to block Joe Biden’s victory. It is very possible that those text messages were among the documents that the committee had been seeking, with Clarence Thomas the sole justice opposing disclosure.
The January 6 committee has said it wants to interview Ginni Thomas over her anti-democratic antics around the 2020 election. Last week the Washington Post revealed that she applied pressure on lawmakers in Wisconsin to block Biden’s win, having previously done the same in Arizona.
The analysis of the amicus briefs was carried out by Advance Democracy Inc, a non-partisan organization specializing in public-interest research and investigations. It shared its findings with the Guardian.

They show an intricate web of connections between many of the most influential groups and figures on the conservative hard right, with Ginni Thomas at the centre of it. Several of the links run through her consultancy, Liberty Consulting, which she set up in 2010 and which brags that it can “give access to any door in Washington”.
:{
}:
Another major route is through the Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive Christian conservative networking group that the New York Times described as a “little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country”. The binding mission of the members is “limited government, strong national defense, and support for traditional western values”.
:{
}:
Ginni Thomas is listed as a board director of the lobbying arm of the group, CNP Action, in a 2020 tax filing obtained by the investigative watchdog Documented. In a speech to a CNP event in 2019 she described her role within the conservative movement as that of “a convenor – I find the talent and I put them in the room and have them talk to one another”.
A leaked CNP directory from this year lists as Thomas’s fellow members several prominent conservatives involved in filing amicus briefs to the supreme court in the abortion case. They include Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion group Susan B Anthony List, who led a discussion at a CNP conference in February titled: After Roe, Then What?
Leonard Leo, the founder of the rightwing Federalist Society, with which Clarence Thomas is intimately associated, sits on the board of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, which filed an amicus brief. Leo was arguably the key strategist behind Trump’s packing of the supreme court to obtain its current supermajority; he shares CNP membership with Ginni Thomas and is a close collaborator of hers.
:{
}:
Other CNP members who have been involved in filing amicus briefs in the abortion caseinclude: Jay Sekulow, Trump’s former lawyer at his first impeachment trial, who is chief counsel for the American Center for Law & Justice; David Nammo of the Christian Legal Society; Tony Perkins, president of the anti-abortion Family Research Council; Margaret Hartshorn, chair of Heartbeat International; and many more.
There are several other overlapping connections to the amicus briefs through separate networks such as Groundswell, a conservative advocacy group of which Ginni Thomas described herself as chairman in 2019. Groundswell was formed in 2013 to foment “a 30-front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation”.
John Eastman, the conservative lawyer who is heavily implicated in the effort to block certification of Biden’s presidential victory, filed an amicus brief in the abortion case on behalf of the Claremont Institute’s center for constitutional jurisprudence, of which he was founding director. Eastman acted as law clerk to Justice Thomas in 1996 and has been described by the New York Times as a “close friend” of Clarence and Ginni.
Thomas herself has denied any conflict of interest between her activism and her husband’s jurisprudence. She told the Washington Free Beacon earlier this year: “We have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I don’t involve him in my work.”
Whether that is true is perhaps a moot point, given that the mere appearance of conflict of interest can in itself damage an institution’s reputation. Already, the supreme court is viewed unfavourably by 44% of the American people according to a Pew Research Center poll, withonly 16% thinking they do an excellent or good job keeping their personal political views out of their decisions.
“The supreme court is unlike any other branch because it only has its legitimacy to make the public adhere to what it does. Lose that and the court loses the kind of institutional pull that makes the law come together and bind us,” Murray said.
Unlike all other federal judges in lower appeals and district courts who are obliged to recuse themselves in cases of potential conflict of interest involving their spouses, the nine justices of the supreme court are entirely unfettered by any code of judicial ethics. They in effect police themselves.
Every year Clarence Thomas has to file a financial disclosure, but the detail given is minimal. He lists under his spouse’s income “Liberty Consulting, Inc – salary and benefits”, but does not reveal her clients or her board positions on groups such as CNP or Groundswell.
The lack of controls have led to a rising chorus calling for reform. “At the very least the justices need to adopt a formal code of conduct that they commit to following,” said Gabe Roth, executive director of the non-partisan group Fix the Court. “That code would take on board potential conflicts of interests involving their spouses.”
Ginni Thomas’s ties with groups responsible for the whirlwind lobbying campaign over abortion could have serious ramifications in future cases that come before the court. Clarence Thomas made it clear in his concurring opinion in Dobbs that he intends to use exactly the same arguments that were deployed in overthrowing Roe v Wade to challenge the constitutional right to same-sex marriage, same-sex relations and contraception.
Many of the interests to which Ginni Thomas was connected who filed anti-abortion amicus briefs have a parallel track record of anti-LGBT agitating. The founder of CNP, Tim LaHaye, was an evangelical Christian minister and a virulent homophobe.
His 1978 book The Unhappy Gays depicted gay people as “militant, organized” and “vile”. “Homosexuality is a blight on humanity,” he wrote. “Many parents would prefer the death of their child to his adopting the unhappy wretchedness of homosexuality.”
The end of the right to abortion in the United States will have devastating consequences around the world. A half century ago, the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v Wade decision inspired a new era of reproductive freedom in dozens of countries. The court's reversal will empower anti-abortion voices everywhere, threatening reproductive freedom and the right to control one’s destiny.
The Guardian views reproductive choice as a fundamental human right and will pursue this story even after it recedes from headlines, with a focus on the people most impacted by restrictions. But we need your help to do this work. Unlike many others, the Guardian has no shareholders, no billionaire owner.

advance Democracy Inc. is a nonprofit investigative organization that conducts investigations around the world to improve accountability, transparency, and good governance, often on behalf of liberal internationalist ideological interests. The organization is run by Daniel J. Jones who is best known for his work as a U.S. Senate investigator into allegations of torture conducted by the U.S. government after 9/11.
The organization has conducted investigations into Russian interference of European Parliament elections in 2019 and has also investigated the messaging of populist parties and organizations in that election as well. The organization has also investigated the dissemination of the QAnon conspiracy theory and social media messaging in the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections.
Among the donors to Advance Democracy Inc. is the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a left-leaning foundation that is funded by the some of the biggest names in the technology industry and Silicon Valley. [1]
CONTENTS
Overview
Daniel J. Jones is a former Teach for America alum who joined the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence under then-Chair Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as an investigator after completing his master’s degree in policy and working for the FBI for four years as an investigator. Jones is most famous for his work leading a seven-year investigation into allegations of torture by the U.S. government after 9/11. He published a report in December 2014 that detailed acts of torture committed by the CIA. [2]
After leaving the U.S. Senate, Jones founded Advance Democracy Inc. in January 2018, four days after Jones was identified as a partner of Fusion GPS and its investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion claims. [3]
2019 European Parliament Elections
In 2019, Advance Democracy Inc. investigated the alleged interference by Russia in the European Parliament elections. The organization alleged that Russia was using social media to spread false and misleading stories about the European Union, NATO, and immigrants. It also accused the network of social media accounts of spreading conspiracy theories. Finally, it alleged that far-right and far-left populist groups were echoing alleged Russian disinformation in their own political messaging. [4]
“The goal [of Russia] here is bigger than any one election,” said Jones to the *New York Times* “It is to constantly divide, increase distrust and undermine our faith in institutions and democracy itself. They’re working to destroy everything that was built post-World War II.” [5]
Advance Democracy notified European authorities about the suspicious social media accounts and pages that it had uncovered. It believed the Russians’ goal was to sow discord and chaos, not to back and specific candidates or parties. [6]
Investigating QAnon
In 2020, Advance Democracy investigated the conspiracy theory “QAnon” and its believers in spreading misinformation about the 2020 U.S. presidential election. It found that 1 in 50 tweets about the election were spread by alleged QAnon accounts. It also alleged that 2 in every 25 tweets with the hashtag #voterfraud originated from “QAnon” accounts. [7]
Advance Democracy called on Twitter and other social media companies to do more to combat QAnon-related content and accounts. “I hope this is a wake-up call for those doubting the breadth and depth of QAnon-related activity on social media,” said Jones to NBC News. [8]
Financials
According to the 2018 Form 990, Advance Democracy raised $2.9 million and spent $2.8 million. [9]
In 2018, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation gave Advance Democracy $500,000. [10]

Tracking Political Donations in the Complex U.S. Campaign Finance System
The United States Federal Election Commission (FEC) refers to all entities whose primary purpose is collecting, distributing, or spending money in U.S. federal elections as committees. There are different types of committees, including Candidate Committees, Party Committees, and Political Action Committees (PACs).
After an individual or entity donates to a committee, that committee can spend the money on campaign activities like advertising, or spend the money on non-campaign expenses, including transferring the funds to other committees. Tracking these “committee-to-committee transfers” is key to understanding the U.S. campaign finance system, as donations given to a specific committee may ultimately be transferred and spent by other committees.
ADI’s Accountability Dashboard lets users trace transfers of money from one committee to another committee in U.S. politics.
Tracking political donations from committee to committee using public FEC records can be an arduous process. ADI’s Accountability Dashboard seeks to make it easier for individuals, journalists, and policy makers to identify and analyze these transfers.
Entities whose “major purpose”1:{:(style="box-sizing:border-box;float:right;border-bottom:1px dotted white"):}: is influencing federal elections are required to register as committees with the FEC and report how they raise, spend, and transfer money. A significant amount of committee activity involves transfers. For example, in the 2020 election cycle, there were approximately 13,500 committees registered with the FEC. These committees reported 1.5 million transfers, totaling over $4 billion.2:{:(style="box-sizing:border-box;float:right;border-bottom:1px dotted white"):}:

Daniel J. Jones is a researcher and former intelligence analyst who heads the advocacy organizations Democracy Integrity Project and Advance Democracy, and works as president of the Penn Quarter Group, an opposition research firm. Prior to taking those positions, he was a staffer for U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and the Democratic staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee. [1]
Senate Republicans alleged that his organizations worked with controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS and former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, the operative who circulated a dossier of unverified allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump to media, politicians, and law enforcement after the 2016 election. [2][3]
As a Senate Intelligence Committee staff member, Jones authored the “Senate Torture Report” that publicized CIA detention and interrogation techniques and has been used in the defense of accused terrorists. [4]

Education and Early Career
Jones is a graduate of Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania and holds master’s degrees in teaching from Johns Hopkins University and public policy from Harvard University. [5] He participated in the Teach for America program before joining the FBI as an international intelligence analyst in 2003. [6]
SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
In 2007, Jones joined the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee staff of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
Jones led the Senate Intelligence Committee staff team behind the creation of the “Senate Torture Report,” which publicized CIA detention and interrogation practices during the War on Terror. [7] Many of the report’s findings were disputed by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, and its release was controversial because of the value the information it contained could potentially provide to terrorist organizations and other enemies of the United States. [8]
The report was published in December 2014 by the Senate’s Democratic leadership as one of their last actions before a Republican majority took control in 2015. In doing so, the Senate rejected a request from Obama administration Secretary of State John Kerry to delay the release out of concerns it would harm diplomatic efforts to build an international coalition against the ISIS Islamist terrorist network. [9]
Alka Pradhan, an attorney defending accused 9/11 terrorist attack planner Ammar al-Baluchi, has said that she will “forever be grateful” to Jones for the information released in the Torture Report. [10] [11] She said the information regarding CIA practices was “gold” for al-Baluchi’s defense. [12]
The government charged Al-Baluchi (born Abd Al Aziz Ali) with allegedly managing the travel plans and finances that delivered at least 13 of the 9/11 hijackers to the U.S., as well as later acting as a courier for Al Qaeda terrorist organization leader Osama bin Laden. [13]
THE REPORT (FILM)
The 2019 film The Report tells a fictionalized story of the creation of the torture report and positions Jones, as portrayed by actor Adam Driver, as a hero. [14] The film premiered at what the Hollywood Reporter characterized as a “politics-heavy” 2019 Sundance Film Festival, alongside movies celebrating U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) and “Dreamer” immigrants. [15]
PENN QUARTER GROUP
After leaving the Senate, Jones spent a year working for the lobbying firm of former Senate Majority Leader (and board chair of the Center for American Progress think tank) Tom Daschle (D-SD) before founding the Penn Quarter Group. [16]
According to a report by House Intelligence Committee Republicans, Jones described Penn Quarter to the FBI in 2017 as “exposing foreign influence in Western elections,” and told FBI agents that it “was being funded by 7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California, who provided approximately $50 million.” [17]
According to Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), Jones told the FBI that Penn Quarter had secured the services of Christopher Steele and controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS to “continue exposing Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.” Grassley alleged that Jones planned to send information generated by Steele and Fusion GPS to Congress and the media. [18]
In sworn testimony, former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo would later accuse Penn Quarter of feeding false information to Jones’s former Senate Intelligence Committee colleagues, claiming that the resulting investigations forced Caputo to incur significant legal bills and receive death threats to himself and his family, even though Caputo was never charged with any wrongdoing. [19]
Even after the Mueller Report found no evidence that the Trump campaign engaged in any criminal conspiracy with Russian interests, Jones continued to promote theories regarding the 2016 election to national media based on information allegedly uncovered by his researchers at Penn Quarter. [20][21]
Democracy Integrity Project
For more information, see Democracy Integrity Project (Nonprofit)
In 2017, Jones founded the Democracy Integrity Project as a 501(c)(4) advocacy group. [22] Funded by a range of left-wing donors, including liberal financier George Soros, the organization promotes left-wing narratives around foreign interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and other elections around the world. [23] A spokesperson for Soros confirmed to the Washington Post that the Democracy Integrity Project “used Fusion GPS as a contractor.” [24]
In its 2018 tax filings, the Democracy Integrity Project reported paying more than $3.3 million to Fusion GPS’s parent company Bean LLC and more than $250,000 to a UK-based company at which Christopher Steele is a director for “research consulting.” [25] [26] [27] It also paid almost $150,000 to Istok Associates, a UK-based firm run by Neil Barnett, who claims that Russia interfered with the UK’s Brexit election. [28][29]
Advance Democracy
In January 2018, Jones also launched Advance Democracy, a 501(c)(3) charity. [30] This organization has not yet publicly filed any financial reports, but is also active in alleging continued Russian election interference: TheNew York Times reported that it had “flagged a number of suspicious websites and social media accounts” to authorities as promoting Russian interference in the 2019 European Parliament elections.
