There's no mention in the article you quoted of anything that could be interpreted as a quid pro quo. In fact, the persons from which the funds were received "...(Crow) has not had cases at the Supreme Court since Thomas joined it and has previously said Thomas is a dear friend. David Sokol, a conservative financier who has taken Thomas on vacation on a private jet, said in a statement that he and Thomas had never discussed the justice’s finances or when he might retire.
I've already stated that Thomas' actions have justifiably prompted questions about ethics. So stipulated.
As far as your claim of "evidence of taking bribes"? Still waiting for you to produce that evidence to back up your claim.

I explained the nature of the (blatantly obvious) quid pro quo in plain English. It might well be better described as extortion than bribery (i.e., I'm gonna quit (and thereby stop being a reliable conservative vote) if you don't provide me a lavish lifestyle). This is a far more obvious quid pro quo than whatever unproven narrative you're asserting about Biden.
As predicted, you came up with a tenuous defense of Thomas's conduct. Also, you deftly didn't address the myriad corrupt practices of the Trump White House which started with embezzlement during his 2016 inauguration and continued from there (Trump hotel in DC, Trump's planned hotel in Moscow, Ivanka's Chinese trademarks, Trump embezzling money from "Stop the Steal" contributions, persistent tax and bank fraud while President, porn star payoffs from the Oval Office, Kushner's $2 billion gift from Saudi Arabia ...).
You're simply too far gone down the MAGA rathole to realize that whole Biden impeachment thing is nothing other than a Trump-directed effort that will allow him to say "Sure, I was impeached, but so was Biden."
