On 21 January 2010, the US Supreme Court voted to open the floodgates to unlimited sums of corporate money in campaigns, including one Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Just 8 days later, Foley & Lardner partner Cleta Mitchell set up the non-profit Liberty Central Inc. on behalf of Ginni Thomas, Clarence Thomas' wife!
General Counsel for Liberty Central in 2010 was Sarah Field (formerly of the Charles G. Koch Foundation), while former Koch lobbyist, Matt Schlapp, was a founding board member of Liberty Central.
Liberty Central received $1.478 million from dark money donors in 2009 and 2010.
From 2011 to 2020, Ginni Thomas received “salary and benefits” from Liberty Consulting. Clarence Thomas didn't list a range of salary and benefits for his wife from Liberty Consulting, but instead lists it on his financial disclosure under “Investments” with a “book value” of $100,000 to $250,000 in 2019, which drops to $15,000 to $50,000 in 2020.
Foley & Lardner lawyer Cleta Mitchell, was also involved in the voter fraud fraud, acting as legal counsel when Donald Trump on 2 January 2021 called the Secretary of State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, and told him: “I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break” (for which he was indicted).
Cleta Mitchell also sent an email to the lawyer John Eastman, to write a memo justifying assigning electoral votes to Trump, even though he lost the popular vote in those states
