Political Factoid
Longtime Republican lawyer
Charlie Spies is known for
expanding the use of super
PACs after the landmark
Citizens United decision.
Spies worked for Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis during
the GOP primary, and was
then hired in March [2024]* to
lead the Republican National
Committee's legal efforts amid
the RNC leadership overhaul.
The RNC chief counsel was
described by a campaign official
as "the best at what he does,
knows the FEC loopholes
better than anyone"
but a "gun for hire."
FEC = Federal Election Commission

Post Script -- Spies was ousted just
three months later in a coup by
Trump's inner circle of advisors.
