CNN — The Republican National Committee, now under the control of former President Donald Trump and his campaign, is bringing on a slate of new lawyers both internally and externally who will focus intensely on election fraud, an issue Trump has remained fixated on.

The lawyers “will initiate battle on election integrity from an offensive instead of defensive posture,” Chris LaCivita, Trump’s co-campaign manager and newly instated RNC Chief of Staff, told CNN. LaCivita will bring on Charlie Spies, an experienced GOP lawyer, to take over as chief counsel at the RNC.

Trump attorney Christina Bobb, a former correspondent at the Trump-aligned One America News Network, will join as senior counsel for election integrity. Bobb was very active in promoting Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen and authored a book called “Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024.”

“I’m honored to join the RNC and thrilled the new leadership is focused on election integrity. I look forward to working to secure our elections and restore confidence in the process,” Bobb said in a statement to CNN. The hiring of Spies and Bobb was first reported by the Washington Post.

1. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[cloudbase]

2. $8.7 million won't last long.

These lawyers will have it cleaned out in no time.

[Think. Again.]

3. There it is...

....this is the huge red flag we've been waiting for.

The rightwing WILL try anything and everything to successfully seat trump this time.

I hope everyone who's involved in protecting a fair result in this election is preparing for whatever tricks they're going to pull.

Maybe WE need some 'Election Integrity' attorneys watching every move they make and ready to pounce at the first signs of B.S.

5. "Maybe WE need some 'Election Integrity' attorneys watching every move they make"

WE do have some who got us through 2020 and who haven't gone away - Democracy Docket

14. The DNC has supported election protection legal teams in my state for decades.

Because GOPpies are always playing games.

They are usually party members who are also lawyers who receive training on election laws and volunteer for the election to assist and/or participate in a call line the day of and countering shenanigans before and after election day.

[Think. Again.]

16. Excellent!

We know who we're up against so we just can't leave any stone unturned

4. Here is the precursor...

…have no qualms that they intend to ensure it goes off unhinged this time.

[oldsoftie]

6. I wonder if "Bobb" is also a nickname.

[Walleye]

7. Sore losers department. I never heard the term "election integrity" before 2020

Really getting sick of these terms they keep making up

[SergeStorms]

8. I'm sure....

they're gathering "evidence," witnesses, and Trump friendly judges at this very moment.

You know, just to have everything ready to get the red-meat berserker MAGAts frothing at the mouth on cue.

Because if Trump loses (again) it can only be by election fraud (even though Trump has never come close to winning the popular vote, ever). 🙄

9. No more!

If they try this shit again, and violence ensues, no quarter! It’s time seditionists received the punishment they so richly deserve, including the seditionist-in-chief.

[Novara]

10. Lather, rinse, repeat

Didn't get you anywhere before, dumbass. Won't get you anywhere now, not in Joe Biden's America.

But go ahead and use all of the RNC's money on trivial pursuits. It means that republicans in competitive races don't get any of that sweet RNC money to help their campaigns. So they will lose because you hoovered up all the money for useless bullshit.

I keep wondering if the Rs who depend on RNC cash to help keep them competitive will finally turn on him once he steals all the RNC money and they lose their races?

11. Geezus give it a rest

12. How dumb are rethuglicons?

Hey, let's give TFG control of everything. That's how FN dumb they are!! MONEY gonna disappear fast.

[Bengus81]

13. Yeah RNC,trash talk Dominion and Smartmatic when your Fuhrer looses AGAIN

They'll sue you clowns back to the stone age,just ask FOX about that one.

[tanyev]

15. RNC money going to lawyers instead of down ballot candidates?

Ok.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

[Picaro]

18. This ought to work well...

Could this all be a plot to destroy the Republican Party?

Because bringing in new staff to the RNC that may focus on the 2020 election seems like some sort of suicide pact.

Would love to quiz these 2020 election deniers on how exactly the election was stolen.

But I digress.

19. Chris LaCivita is a Swift-Boater

LaCivita is main turd who Swift-boated John Kerry
Stephanie Ruhle did a piece on him last night
Keep his name in mind
He tends to fly under the radar
