As more information comes out about the events leading up to the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, the more links there are to Republican Attorneys General and the Republican Attorneys General Association.

In case you missed it, here is a quick update on recent developments:

It’s about to get more difficult for Republican Attorneys General, especially RAGA leadership, to keep distancing themselves from their ties to the rally and deadly insurrection on January 6^th, 2021.

• According to the Alabama Political Reporter, the night before the attack, Tuesday, January 5^th, Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville and the then-director of the Republican Attorneys General Association Adam Piper met with Donald Trump’s sons and close advisers.
  • Charles W.

  • Among the attendees, according to Herbster’s post, were Tuberville, former RAGA director Adam Piper, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, adviser Peter Navarro, Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie. Read the full story here.

These are just the latest revelations regarding Republican AGs and RAGA ties to overturning a free and fair election and contributions to the violence that unfolded in our nation’s capital. Other key examples include:

• The Republican Attorneys General Association’s policy arm – the Rule of Law Defense Fund – sponsored and paid for a robocall promoting the rally turned insurrection, encouraging attendees to march to the Capitol building.
• Republican Attorneys General attempted to throw out legally case votes in Pennsylvania following the count being finalized in the Commonwealth.
• 18 Republican Attorneys General joined in support of Texas AG Ken Paxton’s effort to overturn the election results in four battleground states ultimately swiftly rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.
• Utah AG Sean Reyes traveled to Nevada after the election in search of non-existent election fraud.
