The former executive director of the state GOP is in prison. And [...] Jim Tobin, the former Northeast political director of the NRSC who orchestrated the scam, is now awaiting trial.
[...In] 2002 the NRSC (the National Republican Senatorial Committee) was run by Sen. Frist. Tobin worked for Frist. And Tobin is now under indictment for criminal conspiracy and election tampering for what he did while working as Frist's regional political director for the Northeast.
Not surprisingly, Republicans have tried to distance themselves from Tobin's action, implying that, if guilty, Tobin's scheme was no more than one man's rogue operation. Frist has basically managed to avoid answering any questions about it for two years.
But now comes word that Tobin's legal bills may be being paid by the RNC.
