My bet is Jeff Bezos has a bigger luxury yacht than Harlan Crow, but like Harlan, he does not charter it.

Search = Bezos yacht 

Since the post is about Harlan Crow and not Bezos, leave it there and move to look at current events concerning Clarence Thomas's good buddie, Crow.

ProPublica reports of Senate attention toward Crow, e.g., here and here.

Related to a not-chartered yacht. Crabgrass took notice while online seeing a statement, "Billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow may have taken illegal tax deductions for a yacht he used to entertain family and friends, including Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court, the leader of the Senate Finance Committee said Tuesday, citing new evidence."

Some things are interesting of themselves, and if you see a hint, you decide to search for more information.

That last linked item is a letter from Sen. Wyden to Harlan Crow's lawyer, concerning Crow and his yacht, and that lawyer is Michael Bopp, with ties to Federalist Society, a bio on his firm's website, and ties to Susan Collins. I.e., likely a Republican. (And not to be confused with James Bopp, another likely Republican.)

You find the damnedest things online, by happenstance. Tweaking wealth and questioning its decision making.
