In our previous post announcing the death of the Republican Party, we wrote that “suicide” was suspected.
In a surprising twist, the perpetrators admitted to killing the party in a letter to the Chairman of the Republican Party of North Dakota.
In an apparent reference to me, the RNC lying lawyer that penned the confession accused me of making “a series of patently false claims challenging the RNC’s legal existence”.
His defamatory writing referred to me as a “former National Committeeman and assigned a motive to me of “set(ing) up a rival “republican” organization with himself in charge”.
Lying lawyer attempted to refute my previous statement, “The unauthorized occupiers of the Republican National Committee recently acted to kill the party by creating…a not-for-profit corporation”.
He wrote: “Previously, the RNC operated as an “unincorporated association…” and then further wrote, “Now, the RNC is incorporated as a “member-governed corporation…”.
Seems pretty much that what we previously suspected as “suicide” is, in fact,“murder”, to continue the analogy. The occupiers of the RNC are led by Ronna McDaniel who is listed in official records as the “incorporator” of the not-for-profit Republican National Committee.
IS MONEY THE MOTIVE? WHO FILES THE FEC REPORTS?
Were it suicide, the RNC would obviously not exist today. The “murder” confession, however, confirms that the RNC does not legally exist today, and also exposes the obvious motive of the murder, which is the transfer of the rights, privileges and assets owned by the the members of the previous national association of Republicans everywhere, AKA The Republican Party of the United States, to a “member governed corporation” (RNC, Inc.) as stated in the lying lawyer’s letter.
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, INC.?
Lying lawyer wrote “As a member-governed corporation,” the RNC and its members and staff now enjoy far greater protection from personal liability than before, without any meaningful change to its character or structure”.
Here, he confessed that the new management of the RNC, Inc. that enjoy this “protection” consists only of the 168 members of the Republican National Committee and the staff employed by the committee.
WAS THERE A REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN 2020?
With respect to our previous claim that there was no Republican National Convention in 2020, there are 2,214 individual Republicans that were elected delegates to a convention, that they did not attend, that are living proof that the quadrennial convention, properly called in accordance with the Rules of the Republican Party, did not convene.
Even in the fabricated Rule 37(e) procedures (sometimes called rules), the lying lawyer and others who created this fiction failed to include a Convention Rules Committee, the most essential element of a convention of delegates, as required by the official parliamentary authority of the Republican Party, Robert’s Rules of Order.
NO RULES? NO CONVENTION!
Most importantly, in Robert’s, “The (convention) Committee on Standing Rules drafts and submits for consideration a group of rules known as “The Standing Rules of the Convention,” which, as adopted, will apply to that one convention only.”
In the 2016 Rules of the Republican Party, Rules 26 through 42, “PROCEEDINGS OF NATIONAL CONVENTION were the convention rules for that convention only.
Even IF the 2020 gang had followed the rules, and had a Rules Committee that recommended adoption of all of the 2016 rules, Rule 37(e) does not give “the RNC…wide latitude” to do anything other than what it says.
Rule 37(e) originated in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2008 during my first stint as a member of the Convention Rules Committee. The transcript of that meeting shows Bill Crocker from Texas stating “This is a proposal…that would allow in the event of some catastrophe…the members of the Republican National Committee to determine an alternate means of taking a vote to determine who our presidential nominee would be”.
Upon adoption, the final rule says, in part, when catastrophe strikes, “then and only then, the roll call for nomination…shall be allowed to be conducted according to procedures authorized by the RNC”. This, under the headline for RULE NO. 37, Roll Call. Rule 37(e) authorized nothing more than a roll call vote for the nomination!
DOES THE RNC EXIST WITHOUT A CONVENTION TO AUTHORIZE IT?
Here is where the lying lawyer “extinguishes” himself.
He writes, “Even if the convention has not occurred, and it very clearly did, the RNC would not disappear in a puff of smoke as the former Committeeman seems to think”. Lying lawyer continues, “The RNC Rules absolutely contemplate that they shall serve as the rules of the Republican National Committee from one convention to the “next”. However, nowhere do the Rules state that they somehow become void or inoperative if the Convention is not held.”
Lying lawyer obviously was reading from the Preamble to the Rules of the Republican Party to learn the duration of the rules to be “from one convention to the ‘next’ “.
In making that claim, however, he fails in his comprehension of the entire Preamble, which is this case, was the Preamble to the 2016 Rules of the Republican Party.
For the sake of clarity, here is the complete paragraph of the Preamble that states the duration of the three distinct sections of the Rules of the Republican Party.
“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the following be and hereby are adopted as The Rules of the Republican Party, composed of the rules for the election and government of the Republican National Committee until the next national convention, the rules under which delegates and alternate delegates shall be allotted to the respective states in the next national convention, and the rules under which such delegates and alternate delegates shall be elected and under which contests shall be considered, and the rules of business of this national convention.”
The first section of the rules create the Republican National Committee, the next section of the rules describe the process to convene the next convention, and the third section of the rules govern the convention that creates all of the rules.
No one disputes the fact that there was no Convention Rules Committee in 2020; therefore, there was no “Rule 37(e)” no matter how broadly construed since only the convention of 2020 could create rules for the 2020 convention, including Rule 37(e).
NO CONVENTION IN 2020. NO RULES FOR 2024.
And, without a “this convention” in 2020, there are also no “rules for the election and government of the Republican National Committee until the next national convention (in 2024) nor any “rules under which…delegates and alternate delegates shall be elected…(in 2024).
MAJOR LYING LAWYER DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS
The most serious lie, among all the lies lying lawyer included in his letter, were the two contained in footnote number 3 on page 2.
“This is not the first time the former Committeeman has been at odds with President Trump” writes lying lawyer in lie number one of the two.
This lie is obviously a reference to a book I co-authored in 2016 entitled “UNBOUND”. The title of the book is also the subject of the book which was written in an attempt to preserve the First Amendment right of the delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention to choose the Republican Presidential Nominee.
Based upon my service as a member of the Republican National Committee over a period of 16 years, and including being a member of the Republican National Convention Rules Committee in 2008, 2012 and 2016 as well a 8 years as a member of the RNC Rules Committee, I knew that previous lying lawyers on the staff and in leadership of the RNC intended to allow Critical Primary Theory to control the nomination process.
That book succeeded in its mission and provides conclusive evidence of the second lie in the footnote: “He also tried to disrupt President Trump’s nomination in 2016 by arguing that…despite the plain language of the RNC Rules,…delegates were free to vote for another candidate at the national convention.”
“UNBOUND” PROVED THAT EVERY DELEGATE TO EVERY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IS FREE TO VOTE AS THEIR CONSCIENCE GUIDES THEM
In “UNBOUND”, we wrote that until and unless the 2016 Republican National Convention adopted the following amendment to Rule 37(b), all delegates to the convention were free to vote for the candidate of their choice:
[P]rovided, however, that in any event, the vote of each State for the nomination for President shall be announced and recorded (or in the absence of an announcement shall be recorded) in accordance with the results of any binding Presidential Primary or direct election of delegates bound or pledged pursuant to state law.
As a result, here is Rule 37 (b) that was subsequently adopted as a convention rule in 2016:
(b) In the balloting, the vote of each state shall be announced by the chairman of such state’s delegation, or his or her designee; and in case the vote of any state shall be divided, the chairman shall announce the number of votes for each candidate, or for or against any proposition; but if exception is taken by any delegate from that state to the correctness of such announcement by the chairman of that delegation, the chairman of the convention shall direct the roll of members of such delegation to be called, and then shall report back the result to the convention at the conclusion of balloting by the other states; however, that in any event, the vote of each state for the nomination for President shall be announced and recorded (or in the absence of an announcement shall be recorded) in accordance with the results of any binding Presidential preference vote or direct election of delegates bound or pledged pursuant to these rules, state party rules, or state law.
“UNBOUND” was written well in advance of “Trump having secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination”, and, in fact, provided Trump campaign lawyers Bill McGinley and Don McGahn the language they were able to get inserted into Rule 37(b) to assure there could be no convention challenge to his nomination.
“UNBOUND” was not written to “disrupt President Trump”s nomination in 2016…”.
Complete details of the 2016 Republican National Convention Rules Committee action to adopt this amendment are in this previous post here:
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Only a Republican National Convention of delegates from every state can resurrect the Republican Party from it’s grave. The Republican National Committee, Inc. members have abandoned the Republican Party of the United States, and left it for dead.
I think the RNC is lost. Can’t trust anything anymore. Now what is next???
We'll stated and defended. My only criticism is the phrase "lying lawyer" is redundant!
