Important note:
From Wiki:
“In August, the RNC finally confirmed that it had spent
more than $722,000 for Tobin's defense by the
Washington firm of Williams & Connolly. " This support is
based on his assurance and our belief that Jim has not
engaged in any wrongdoing," a spokesperson told the
Associated Press. The Union Leader reported in February
2006 that the RNC had paid $1.7 million to Williams on the
day Tobin was sentenced, for a total of $2.5 million, and
would neither confirm nor deny that it was still paying his
legal expenses. The RNC's first financial report of 2006
indicated that it by then spent another $330,000. Later
that year, Tobin's wife was hired by the NRSC as a
consultant on the unsuccessful re-election campaign of
Rhode Island senator Lincoln Chafee, as Northeast
Strategies, a company that listed the Tobins' home as its
main address. Despite her lack of any previous
experience, she was paid at $300,000."
