Florida's Ashley Moody worked with group linked to Capitol insurrection

After Trump supporters rioted at the U.S. Capitol, the Republican attorney general scrubbed the Rule of Law Defense Fund, where Moody served on the board of directors, from her online biography.

For more than a year, the official state website for Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said the Republican is “recognized as a national leader” among her peers.

Until a few days ago, the website supported this claim by mentioning Moody’s appointment to the board of directors for a conservative organization now facing blow back for its role in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol last week: The Rule of Law Defense Fund.

On the eve of Wednesday’s uprising, the Rule of Law Defense Fund sent out robocalls urging supporters of President Donald J. Trump to join what was, by this point, an escalating movement to overturn the election by force.

“At 1 p.m. we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal,” said one message obtained by the Associated Press. “We’re hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections.”

As scrutiny of those messages intensified following Wednesday’s insurrection, Moody’s office scrubbed references to the Rule of Law Defense Fund from her online biography. Her website still promoted the board appointment on Friday, according to a Tampa Bay Times review. By Monday morning, it was gone.

Suing him on behalf of Floridians scammed by Trump U and then accepted a job in his administration. Someone needs to suggest to FL AG's that they just confine themselves to doing the job.

Why is this terrorist still in office, along the Terrorist-in-Chief?? She has literally called for an insurrection based upon a delusion.

Now we have noted imbecile and West Palm Beach terrorist organizer Willie Guardiola threatening more violence before January 20th.
According to a Palm Beach Post article (firewall):
"On Monday, a well-known Palm Beach County supporter of President Trump warned that "very drastic" efforts are in the works to keep Trump in power and prevent President-elect Joe Biden from being sworn in next week."
“Something very drastic is going to happen in the next nine days and everybody needs to be ready,” Guardiola said, unwilling to provide details. “I’m on standby. I was hoping and planning on going to Trump’s second inauguration. I can almost tell you 100% for certain that Joe Biden is not going to be inaugurated on the 20th. And I’m hanging my hat on that.”
