GOP Group Known for Robocall Before Jan 6. Rally Held 'War Games' Meeting Before Election

A group affiliated with the Republican Attorneys General Association, known for sending a robocall encouraging supporters of former President Donald Trump to attend the January 6 rally that turned into a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol, hosted a "war games" meeting prior to the 2020 presidential election to plan for a potential loss.

The meeting, which took place over two days in Atlanta in September 2020, was part of more than 20 meetings that the Rule of Law Defense Fund hosted leading up to the November election. It was attended by senior aides to Republicans who were their states' chief law enforcement officials.

An email from the Republican Attorneys General Association's executive director sent September 24, which was addressed to "Generals," called the event "WAR GAMES" and a "series of conversations planning for what could come if we lose the White House."

"It was a fast paced, productive series of war games, which hopefully will not have to be utilized in November," former Executive Director Adam Piper said in an email the next day, again addressed to "Generals."

Every effing GOP atty "general" needs to be hauled before the FBI under oath and 'splain themselves. Pictured in the article above is the atty "general" from Kansas who has denied over and over again he had any knowledge of the robocalls or the meeting, but his office sent two representatives to the meeting. He also was an officer in the association. Like the drunken GOP leadership in Kansas who gets thrown out of restaurants for drunken behavior, or drives while rip roaring drunk down the wrong side of I70, those events "never happened." If you want accountability from the GOP, let the FBI try to dig it up.

my apologies if this has been posted before, I didn't see it. It is from 9/10/21. I don't want the issue to disappear down the rabbit hole since Schmidt is running for Kansas Governor.
