LINK Trump: RNC lawyer’s resignation ‘great news’ -- The Hill

By Brett Samuels - 05/06/24

Former President Trump called it “great news” that the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) top lawyer was set to depart the role just months after taking the job.

“Great news for the Republican Party. RINO lawyer Charlie Spies is out as Chief Counsel of the RNC. I wish him well!” Trump posted late Sunday on Truth Social.

Officials confirmed Saturday that Spies was leaving his post as RNC chief counsel roughly two months after taking the job as part of a broader staffing overhaul once Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee for November.

There were reportedly tensions between Trump and Spies after Spies had criticized Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen.

“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,” RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement to The Hill.

Spies had previously worked for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis 🌈 and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush 🌈, both of whom Trump has attacked at various times.

The RNC had announced in March it was hiring Spies, along with former One America News host Christina Bobb and former Trump administration attorney Bill McGinley to lead its legal efforts, with the latter two focusing on election integrity.

Trump officials have said the party plans to be more aggressive in monitoring vote counts for any irregularities. Trump last week refused to commit to accepting the results in Wisconsin in November, saying he would do so “if everything’s honest.”

Be a yes man no matter what BS drump spouts or yer out......yeah, that's how to attract top people!

On the brighter side, before Trump's latest criminal trial started, Trump led Biden in polls by 1 point. After some testimony and the facts started coming out, Biden now leads Trump by 4 points. And, the trial isn't over yet, and will probably last to the end of May.
