RNC Co-Chairs Michael Whatley & Lara Trump

The judge passed away so the injunction was lifted?
Working inside polling places?
Huh?

There was a consent degree in return for Republican ratfucking from the 80s that was lifted a few years back.

Yeah, but not because the judge passed away...

Republican National Committee chief counsel Charlie Spies is parting ways with the party apparatus just months after stepping into the role. He was “pushed out,” according to a source familiar with the move.

"Charlie approached RNC Chief of Staff, Chris LaCivita, about potential time commitment conflicts and it was agreed that, while we appreciate and value Charlie’s expertise and professionalism, he cannot do this role full time and still maintain the obligations to his law firm that he has spent years successfully building," said RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez in a statement first to NBC News.

Spies did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday night.

NBC News previously reported that Spies was hired in March to lead the committee's legal efforts amid the RNC leadership overhaul, when former President Donald Trump endorsed Michael Whatley to helm the organization, effectively reshaping the committee in his image.

Spies was previously described by a campaign official as “the best at what he does, knows the FEC loopholes better than anyone” but a “gun for hire.”

However, Spies was not a fan of the former president.

He previously worked for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during the GOP primary. The longtime Republican lawyer is known for expanding the use of super PACs after the landmark Citizens United decision.

Spies was also behind Right to Rise, the super PAC that Jeb Bush used during the 2016 cycle to raise a record-breaking $100 million in the months before formally announcing his candidacy. Spies filed a complaint in 2015 with the Federal Election Commission against the Trump Organization while in his super PAC role.

Spies has also worked with Rep. John James, R-Mich., and served in Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign.

A right-wing website has made a long series of allegations against a senior Trump campaign advisor and RNC official, alleging he is sabotaging Trump from within.

Right-Wing Website Says Trump Senior Advisor is a Saboteur

The right-wing political website George News recently posted a long series of accusations against Senior Trump Campaign Advisor Chris LaCivita, alleging that he is intentionally sabotaging Trump and the RNC from within. LaCivita serves in a highly unusual dual capacity as both senior advisor to the campaign and COO of the RNC where he directs the spending of the national Republican Party.

The website made 13 specific accusations against LaCivita. They included the following:

1. That he hired and retained Charlie Spies as the RNC's Chief Counsel despite the fact that he refused to go along with conspiracies about the 2020 election being stolen, then was fired just two months later - a move which was praised by Trump and likely done at his direction.

2. He has still not implemented a meaningful "election integrity program" at the RNC for the 2024 election.

3. He leaked the story to the Washington Post about a "bloodbath at the RNC" of longtime staffers being fired.

More at the link above. Basically, LaCivita is not MAGA enough.

If he wants to sabotage the campaign, he's gonna need to stand in line, behind the turnip.
