RNC's 'election integrity' lawyer arraigned, charged with election crimes

It was just two months ago when the new leadership team at the Republican National Committee started making significant personnel changes, including hiring two new lawyers to oversee the party’s election-year legal efforts.

One of the attorneys was longtime Republican lawyer Charlie Spies, who was hired to serve as the RNC’s chief counsel. That didn’t last: Spies was “pushed out” after failing to embrace Donald Trump’s ridiculous election conspiracy theories.

The other lawyer the RNC hired in March was Christina Bobb, who was tapped to serve as the party’s senior counsel for election integrity, and who was back in the news Tuesday. My MSNBC colleague Clarissa-Jan Lim reported:

All of the criminal defendants, including Bobb, pleaded not guilty.

to know that the indictments are at the state level. None of TSF's coup plotters have been indicted by the Feds.

most election law violations are state crimes and are therefore prosecuted by state attorneys general or other local officials rather than by the federal DOJ.
