Former Lawyer Pleads Guilty in 30-Year Scheme

Thomas Clear, a former defense attorney turned criminal mastermind, just admitted guilt to running a 30-year extortion ring targeting DWI offenders — all while coordinating with cops to get cases dismissed. The FBI raided his home and others in 2024, and despite pleading guilty last February, he’s still walking free — along with 12 others — as sentencing looms for early next year. His lawyer says Clear’s anxiety is sky-high, but federal rules mean prison is inevitable. This isn’t just corruption — it’s a systemic rot with victims still waiting for justice.
