RNC was right there with Parscale's/Kushner's data arm of the campaign

RNC campaign worker was down in the data center for over a month. So they all know damn well what was happening. The news of them being there is buried in the 2nd article.

And:
San Antonio community is pissed...and it may explain why Parscale has moved his political business to "Little Moscow" in South Florida. He is persona non grata in San Antonio. I've wondered ever since the words Project Alamo surfaced how locals felt about the word Alamo being associated with the Trump/Russia connection.
I'm not a native Texan nor a SA resident but I've been in TX almost 30 yrs and of all names, they picked the word that is sacred to this State and while every business in San Antonio has the word Alamo in it, this is probably not being accepted well at all.

On his move from SA to Little Moscow, Florida.

It’s no small feat that Parscale was there from the beginning and survived each campaign regime change — from Lewandowski to Paul Manafort, from Manafort to Bannon and Conway. The Trumps, including son-in-law Jared Kushner, the one constant among the senior leadership team, saw value in Parscale’s similar outsider’s backstory, in his ability to think differently and work cheaply, and in his devotion to the family. “Brad,” said Eric Trump, in a statement the Trump Organization provided to BuzzFeed News, “is an amazingly talented and loyal person who I have known for many years. He was an instrumental player on the campaign team and is deeply passionate about the issues that face our country.”

Post-merger, Parscale had more staff and resources available to him. More responsibilities, too. His position at the intersection of digital and data, combined with his relationship with the Trump family, earned him more authority over where resources should be deployed on the ground and on the air. "I think Brad had a uniquely large seat at the table for budget allocations,” said Katie Walsh, who was the RNC’s chief of staff last cycle.

Parscale hasn’t been welcomed back as a conquering hero. The hometown pride that materialized when Parscale began designing business websites for the Trump family disappeared when he was a key adviser to a presidential candidate who questioned the fairness of a Mexican-American judge. People of Mexican descent account for about 57% of San Antonio’s population. And the Tech Bloc circles Parscale once ran in are largely progressive.

Especially on the data portion of the investigation. And is this Trump's way of signaling to the RNC he will outnthem over their involvement?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/14/politics/kfile-rnc-chair-trump-legal-fees/index.html

Romney McDaniel was asked on Washington radio station WMAL's "Mornings on the Mall" about a Washington Post report that said "some in Trump's orbit are pushing the Republican National Committee to bear the costs" for legal fees Trump and other officials amass in retaining attorneys amid the inquiries into whether the campaign colluded with the Russian government during last year's election.

The story also said that the RNC was researching whether it was legal to cover the fees but that some within the committee thought it would be more appropriate to create a different legal defense fund instead of using an already existing RNC fund.
"First of all, I don't even know if that's legal, if we would even be allowed to do that," Romney McDaniel said in Friday's radio interview. "So there's just nothing that I can comment on on that front right now. So that would have to go through the lawyers first before it would come to us."

And (apparently) they're actually considering it?

IMHO this just constitutes more damning evidence that the entire fucking Republican apparatus was 'in on the scam' from the beginning.

How else could he get off asking for financial help from the RNC for his legal bills? Why wouldn't they tell him to take a flying leap ... unless they're doing it cause they were in on it so they are in effect protecting their own interests by doing so?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it unless proven otherwise.
