Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry tied to group that summoned patriots to Capitol to stop the stealLouisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry belongs to an association that helped lead, finance and organize the right-wing rally on behalf of President Donald Trump that ended with a violent attack at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. The Rule of Law Defense Fund, an affiliate of the Republican Attorneys General Association, for which Landry serves as chairman, sent out a robocall message Tuesday encouraging patriots like you (to) join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our election.
The connection between the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF), a 501(c)(4) arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), and Wednesdays March to Save America rally was initially reported by Documented, a left-leaning website that describes itself as a watchdog group that investigates how corporations manipulate public policy, harming our environment, communities, and democracy. RAGAs website highlights Landry as the 2020 chairman of their organization and a current member of their executive committee as of Friday. And in the federal tax filings for its corporate affiliate, Landry is listed as a co-director of the RLDF. Those tax documents, which were the most recent available to the public, were for the 2017 fiscal year but were filed in November 2018.

As of Friday, Landry was prominently featured on the splash page of the organizations website. The attorney general, who is typically vocal on social media as current events unfold, has been silent about Wednesdays events. Other than clarifying that Landry was RAGAs 2020 chairman, his office has not responded to questions regarding the details of this story.
Although it could not be determined Thursday whether he was still a co-director of the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF), Landry was part of a video for the group in November and was elected chairman of RAGA in 2020.

(7,530 posts)1. Yes Indiana HAD A black GOP AG Curtis Hill. He's gone.
His term expired at first of year. He was replaced by The GOP due to a Groping and Harassment problem with female employees he had. They tried to force him out earlier in the term but murkiness around it all prevailed.
He's gone as Indiana AG but watch for him trying to get work in an office with females near you.

I can't believe that Ken Paxton was the past president considering that he has felony indictments pending resolution.
As for Curtis Hill, what law firm would take the risk of hiring him with the sexual harassment allegations that have been leveled against him?
