The verdict from a 12-member jury capped a two-day trial in Alamogordo, the community where Griffin served as an Otero County commissioner until he was banished from office last year for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Griffin said in a text message that he felt "blessed to be judged by a jury of peers" in his home community and has "never felt as vindicated." In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors argued that Griffin used Cowboys for Trump to explicitly link political advocacy to appeals for online donations, while flouting registration and financial disclosure requirements for political committees that are designed to ensure transparency and fairness in elections.
Miller, a public defender, said Griffin's intention was to speak boldly and openly about common sense convictions and national pride -- without yielding to government control through the regulation of non-profit groups.Griffin's attorney also accused state campaign finance regulators of bias and singling out Cowboys for Trump for enforcement.

Biden brought the Ukraine war - he insisted on it Biden blew up the Nord Stream pipeline which is the largest terrorist attack in human history as well as man-made environmental catastrophe = worse than the Cherynoble nuclear meltdown.
