The former U.N. ambassador has been focusing in on Trump, his legal trouble and the potential general election consequences.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called on Republican National Committee members to hold an on-the-record vote on a draft resolution that would curb the national party’s ability to direct its funds toward legal fees, including former President Donald Trump’s.

“All Americans, and Republicans especially, deserve a vote on the record on that resolution,” Haley said while campaigning here. “We deserve to know how the RNC is going to spend their money and if it’s going to go towards legal fees.”

    (Not so) fun fact: the DNC and RNC aren’t any sort of governmental organizations, and are in fact private companies. As such, the limits placed on them by law are pretty minimal in terms of political action they can take, and quite unlikely to change since they both have a stranglehold on who gets nominated into positions that could affect such change.

      Which is why if he is found guilty of the coup attempt he would be declared an enemy of the state, and any aid or comfort would be considered treason under penalty of law. The courts have ruled that companies are allotted rights as a person, aka they are guilty of treason if Trump is declared an enemy of the state. Best defense, “we didn’t know we were commiting treason as he wasn’t found guilty, just several of our members knew it”
