The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) held a conference in Sept 2020 where more than 30 staffers in attorneys general offices around the country gathered in Atlanta for the September 2020 event.
The financing arm of RAGA, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, sent out robocalls on Jan. 5-6n 2021 telling people to go the insurrection and march on the Capitol. Money for this came from Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli.
Records obtained by Kansas Reflector show the two aides Clint Blaes and Jeff Chanay were approved to travel to Atlanta for a summit of senior staff members of attorneys general offices put on by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, a group associated with the Republican Attorneys General Association. The group paid for the two aides expenses.
And while the travel authorization records from Schmidts office referred to the event as training, records obtained by a former Democratic candidate for attorney general in Missouri show the September event included a huddle referred to as war games, where attendees planned how they might respond if Donald Trump lost re-election. Its not clear what discussions Blaes and Chanay participated in.
Here's a similar story from the Hill:

We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections, the message added.
(Possible Coup plotting?)

(2,573 posts)said that the major issue is that RLDF is a fundamentally partisan organization.
The AG assistants were acting in their official capacity, on government time, while attending this summit. In their official capacity they're not suppose to be partisan.
Says the professor: "theyre not supposed to be thinking about whether we lose the White House in the sense of President Trump or we Republicans or, for that matter, we Democrats, Clark said."
Instead these legal fascists sent out robocalls encouraging the march and attack on the Capitol. And only GOD know what else the slimey Republican AGs were up to.

(2,573 posts)I took handwritten notes last year about the fascist AGs promoting fascism, insurrection. Here are some names that surround the RAGA robocalls.
Publix grocery store heiress Julie Fancelli paid for RAGA robocalls promoting the insurrection the day before/or day of the fascists storming the Capitol.
The calls were sent by the Rule of Law Defense fund, which shares funding, staff & office space in DC.
In addition to the dark money from heiress Fancelli, other notables in these shenanigans include:
Nebraska AG Doug Peterson
Adam Piper, the Exec Dir at RAGA
Peter Bisbee, Exc Dir. of RAGA's fundraising arm, Rule of Law Defense Fund (ha ha ha, what a fucked up name)
Chris Carr, Chairman of RAGA & Georgia's Atty Gen
Charles Herbster, some rich GOP asshole from Nebraska, who I think was at the Jan 5. meeting and outed Tuberville.
Brandon Straka, jackass who started the walk away campaign, Nebraska native and was a storm trooper charging the Capitol on Jan. 6
It's my hope that these corrupt GOP Attorney's Generals get their comeuppance

An attendee list would provide a warning: "look out for this nazi in the future"
Journalists from GOP states with GOP atty generals could get records request from their state's atty. general office.
South Dakota is super corrupt. A starting point for a records request?

(2,573 posts)The robocalls came the day before the insurrection. Did the AGs plot for this piece of the failed coup in Sept 2020?

At 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal, said the voice on the recording, which was obtained by NBC News.
Who wrote the script for the robocalls? Whose voice was used? Who signed off on this?
