Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, urged a White House official to “release the Kraken.”
Text messages sent between Ginni Thomas and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, obtained by the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, show multiple exchanges about overturning the 2020 election, including those voicing support for lawyer Sidney Powell to become “the lead and the face” of former President Donald Trump’s legal team in challenging the results.
“Sidney Powell & improved coordination now will help the cavalry come and Fraud exposed and America saved,” Ginni Thomas said in one message Nov. 13, 2020, according to the Washington Post.
Powell, who became famous for saying she would “release the Kraken,” referring to a massive mythical sea monster, by exposing voter fraud, appeared alongside Trump’s then-personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign counsel Jenna Ellis during a 90-minute press conference less than a week later, on Nov. 19, at the Republican National Committee. But her insistence on making unsupported claims about voting machines switching votes quickly led the Trump legal team to distance itself from her.

“Mark (don’t want to wake you),” Ginni Thomas wrote to Meadows on Nov. 19. “Sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud. Make a plan. Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down.”
On Nov. 22, when Giuliani and Ellis released a statement saying Powell “is not a member of the Trump Legal Team,” Ginni Thomas expressed concern to Meadows.

“Trying to understand the Sidney Powell distancing,” she wrote.
“She doesn’t have anything or at least she won’t share it if she does,” Meadows said in response, after which Ginni Thomas replied, “Wow!” The Washington Post reported that Meadows did not respond to that message.
