The RNC was accused of it just like the DNC, the difference is a foreign intelligence operation didn't hack and leak RNC emails.
Well, that and that the RNC’s system to assure that they don’t have to get hands on in supporting the establishment candidate because of the way delegates selection is stacked to give the early leader (who the rule writers assumed would be the establishment favorite) an artificial air of supermajority support, to drive media coverage in a way which will collapse support for other candidates backfired because even with insider influence the early establishment candidates couldn't get public traction, leaving Trump to reap the benefits designed to go to the establishment candidate.)
