Clarence Thomas' Lover, Lillian McEwen (A Federal PReflects On DC Life, Love, Law: https://www.justice-integrity.org/255-clarence-thomas-amour-reflects-on-dc-life-scandal-law
Excerpts: Lillian McEwen was born, raised and educated in Washington, D.C. Her stellar legal career spans decades in the city as a prosecutor, counsel on Capitol Hill, a criminal defense attorney, a law professor, and finally as a United States federal administrative law judge at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. She retired from her judgeship in 2007 and still lives in D.C. She has one adult daughter. Book details: McEwen is only briefly mentioned -- and with her last name misspelled -- in a generally impressive 2007 book about Thomas entitled Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas by Washington Post reporters Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher. She kept such a low-profile that her name remained misspelled in the paperback edition a year later. That's so even though the co-authors put enormous effort into their thoughtful book and are located, of course, in her own city. Ultimately, she decided to tell her story in her own way. Hers is not a typical political memoir, but instead (as reader reviews below indicate) a story in which public and private lives are intertwined, just as they are in real life. Thus she describes visiting the notorious Plato's Retreat sex club in New York City with Thomas. He is portrayed at right when he was chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC), responsible for helping resolve complaints about job bias. Her memoir provides her explanation of why Biden did not want to buttress Hill's testimony with McEwen's experiences...
In March 1992, Brock (who initially believed Hill's testimony) devised a 22,000-word portrait of Hill as a near-crazed liar for his magazine audience at the ultra-conservative American Spectator. In 1993, expanded the article into a book, The Real Anita Hill, a 400-page vindication of Thomas that became a best-seller with the help of a network of conservative backers who assisted him in overcoming feminist and liberal obstacles at many mainstream news outlets. In such books as Blinded by the Right in 2002, however, Brock went beyond simply expressing regret for his book. He debunked his article, book, patrons and sources in one of the most specific and contrite literary mea cuplas imagineable. He founded Media Matters, a prominent progressive media watchdog organization to counter what he and it call right-wing disinformation. Early this year, Common Cause provided evidence to the Los Angeles Times that Thomas had been signing false financial statements for years that failed to provide required financial information about his wife's outside income. The Times broke the story in Clarence Thomas failed to report wife's income, watchdog says. Later commentators, including our Justice Integrity Project in Let's Take a Closer Look at Clarence Thomas, have expanded on the disclosures and called for more rigorous investigation. Our Project, among others, has noted that the Thomas omissions covered not just a few years, but his entire career -- and that they were sworn statements of the kind that many ordinary citizens are imprisoned for making in parallel situations.
