Hillary Clinton’s recently released emails includes a memo sent by David Brock titled, “Memo on Impeaching Clarence Thomas.”
The purpose of the document might suggest Clinton, or at least those closest to her and in her circle, are interested in impeaching Justice Thomas.
The document contains information from Brock about his book, The Real Anita Hill, and other similar points on Justice Thomas’s personal life.
The document contains details of Brock himself potentially intimidating women close to Justice Thomas. These details were from a 2001 New York Times article, in which the author reached out to a colleague of Thomas, Kaye Savage.
In the memo found in Clinton’s email, Brock notes his use of “journalistic sleight-of-hand involving a written statement Savage had given me under duress”:
His memo followed this note with this New York Times passage:
Jamin Raskin, a law professor and associate dean at American University in Washington, received a call seeking advice from Ms. Savage after her encounter with Mr. Brock a few weeks ago: “She was distraught and said Brock was threatening to reveal damaging information about her from a divorce situation unless she agreed to retract everything she had said to the authors of Strange Justice, he said in an interview. ‘I told her this is a clear violation of journalistic ethics and might be blackmail and that she shouldn’t give in to it. She was beside herself because she had told the truth.”
The points on women seem to be an effort to disqualify Thomas on women’s issues. Brock quotes Eleanor Smeal, President of Feminist Majority Foundation, who says:
