The Alabama Political Reporter has now reported that Alabama State Attorney General,
Steve Marshall leads the Republican Attorneys General Association’s dark-money nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, which is listed as a participating organization for the March to Save America on the march’s website, as are the groups Stop the Steal, Tea Party Patriots and Turning Point Action.
Like a snail, this guy leaves a trail of slime behind him. Prior to the attack on the Capitol,
RLDF sent out robocalls detailing when and where citizens should meet, which was first reported by Documented.
“I’m calling for the Rule of Law Defense Fund with an important message,” the robocall stated, according to Documented. “The march to save America is tomorrow in Washington D.C. at the Ellipse in President’s Park between E St. and Constitution Avenue on the south side of the White House, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections. For more information, visit MarchtoSaveAmerica.com. This call is paid for and authorized by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, 202-796-5838.”

There is now blood on their hands. This is enough to justify search warrants in anticipation of federal charges. This guy was not some behind the scenes actor, either. He was out front and center in the attempts to discredit Biden’s victory
Marshall has supported President Donald Trump’s challenges to the outcome of the November election and signed Alabama on to a failed election lawsuit, filed by Texas, aiming to overturn the election results. Marshall has shared in Trump and his supporters’ allegations of election fraud, which have been debunked numerous times. Numerous other court cases seeking to overturn results in battleground states have been dismissed.
Since this information was published RAGA’s executive director has tried to deflect blame for the support provided those who planned, organized, and executed this attack. His defense?
“The Republican Attorneys General Association and Rule of Law Defense Fund had no involvement in the planning, sponsoring, or the organization of yesterday’s rally,” Piper said in the statement. “No Republican AG authorized the staff’s decision to amplify a colleague speaking at the rally. Organizationally and individually, we strongly condemn and disavow the events which occurred. Yesterday was a dark day in American history and those involved in the violence and destruction of property must be prosecuted and held accountable.”
Nice to hear. I doubt this is anything more than a rear guard effort to cover their asses. But now they are going to have no choice but to secure all records, documents, and evidence they may reasonably be compelled to surrender in compliance with the inevitable search warrants. Marshall has also released a statement condemning the violence, etc. etc. But it rings false for one simple reason:
He never mentions the fact he leads a group that helped organize the 1/6 march on the Capitol.
