From the article, > In the late 1980s, when Thomas was an official in the George H.W. Bush administration, he listed the addresses of the three properties in a disclosure filing. He reported that he had a one-third interest in them. Unless you're saying that he perjured himself in the 80s, it's hard to see how he'd end up with a $1 stake without triggering a necessary disclosure.

  Well, we already know of one case in which he failed to disclose a “necessary disclosure” - I agree he probably maintained his one third share until selling it to Crow, but given his behavior it’s not exactly unreasonable to question whether there’s more to the story.

    That doesn't appear to be an exemption §13104(a)(5) Transactions.—Except as provided in this paragraph, a brief description, the date, and category of value of any purchase, sale or exchange during the preceding calendar year which exceeds $1,000— ..(A) in real property, other than property used solely as a personal residence of the reporting individual or the individual’s spouse; or ..(B) in stocks, bonds, commodities futures, and other forms of securities. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/13104 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/13104

        He reported a 1/3 interest in the property from the 80s through 2015, contrary to the original claim that "nobody knows" what his stake in the property is. That he reported any interest in 2015 is peculiar, because the sale occurred in 2014. https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Justice-Clarence-Thomas-DOJ-Complaint-April-14-2023-1.pdf https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04...
