Trump was right again...New York Attorney General files lawsuit to dissolve NRA

[Billy_Kinetta]

It does outline the kind of corruption that people are complaining about.
The kind of corruption that Trump seems to give a blind eye to.


According to lawsuit, LaPierre treated the NRA, and the membership fees of its 5 million members, as a personal piggy bank, tapping the nonprofit to fund an extravagant, luxurious lifestyle.

Among the claims in the complaint: LaPierre charged the NRA for private jet travel not only for himself, but also for his wife (a “volunteer” with the NRA) and extended family. He has argued that the private jet is necessary for his security, but the lawsuit alleges that more than $1 million went for trips when LaPierre wasn’t even a passenger.


There’s much much more: Allegations of personal expense reimbursements to the tune of $1 million in four years; of several million dollars in annual expenses for LaPierre’s personal and home security; of goodies, including an African safari and the use of a 107-foot yacht, provided by NRA vendors; and of a secret “poison pill” contract, not disclosed to the NRA’s board, designed to pay LaPierre millions for life, even after he had left the organization.

Litman: New York wants to dissolve the NRA; it will probably decapitate it instead

Even if the NRA survives New York's lawsuit, dethroning its CEO and heaping it with humiliation and penalties will be a victory.

Expect LOTS of this whenever Trump leaves the WH.
LOTS of harvesting will be opening up as Trumpsters grab whatever they can before they go.
And I bet some of it will be illegal, but that will be for the next AG to sort out!

New York could not have given a better gift to the Trump campaign.

This has nothing to do with the NRAs political position or gun rights.

It has everything to do with corrupt and possibly criminal leadership.

Gun owners should be outraged

Actually, this has nothing to do with "corruption" at all. The NY attorney general just decided to make a "revelation" of this to try and take the gun issue out of the campaign. Its a loser for Sleepy Joe.

I think the scheme is likely to backfire.

There is no gun issue in the election the second is here and it's here to stay.

Apparently you missed Sleepy Joe's promise to confiscate firearms and have Beto be his gun czar?

He can't do anything of the like.

Sleepy Joe promised to do it. And if he can pack the Supreme Court, as he has promised to do, he'll find a way to do with the approval of the court.

Can you show where Biden ever said he would pack the Supreme Court?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It isn't helping that the prosecutor is another mouthy black woman like Kim Gardner, Lecia Bottoms or the odious Lori Lightfoot. Cut them all from the same smelly chattering class and burp out a vice presidential candidate.

How is prosecutIng corrupt leaders a gift to Trump?

Does Trump support NRA leaders using NRA funds for personal use ?

If the sad, shivering puppy people looted the contributions for luxury entertainment no one would argue that they should be neutered.

Its in Biden's Platform. Countering G.O.P. on Courts, Democrats Will Call for ‘Structural’ Change

Does Trump support NRA leaders using NRA funds for personal use ?

There is no actual proof of NRA corruption. Just allegations by partisan hacks. In the event that there is a trial and 12 angry men determine otherwise, and the conviction is upheld on appeal, of course President Trump wouldn't support that.

 

[mamooth]

The case went forward when the investigation was done and it was ready.

Trump cultists are projecting their own corruption again. They themselves always go full metal Stalinist and try to use law enforcement to bias elections, so they assume that everyone else is just as corrupt. They can't imagine themselves acting morally, so they can't imagine anyone else being moral.

Nobody is as corrupt as Trump cultists. Their corruption is unique in American history.

This woman is a scumbag.

New York AG Letitia James called the NRA a 'terrorist organization'​

​

Letitia James called the National Rifle Association a 'terrorist organization' and promised to investigate it before she was even elected New York's Attorney General two years ago.​

​

She listed the gun-supporting group as one of her priorities during a magazine interview.​

​

'The NRA holds (itself) out as a charitable organization, but in fact, (it) really (is) a terrorist organization,' James told Ebony shortly before she won the 2018 vote.​

​

Now, less than two years later, James, 61, is trying to bring down the gun-toting organization claiming corruption and misspending by top officials mean it is beyond redemption, and it should be closed down.​

​

She made her move in a lawsuit on Thursday claiming the NRA — the nation's most powerful gun rights organization — was guilty of violating numerous state and federal laws.​

​

James, who goes by the name Tish, has risen through the ranks of New York politics by staying mainly under the radar. She was one of eight children and has lived her entire life in Brooklyn.​

​

Her biggest personal scandal came when the Wall Street Journal revealed she had been lying about her age for more than a decade and she was in fact four years older than she claimed.​

​

When asked why, she simply replied: 'Would you ask a man his age?'​

How do these pos keep getting elected?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Democsum do it all the time.

Sure mikey. Sure.

This woman is a scumbag.

But not the assholes stealing from a nonprofit. Got it.

Pure fantasy.

100% correct.

Communist democrats don't get It. The allegations have made no impact because they are not believed.

But that's the thing: nobody cares what you morons believe, but yourselves. Your cult is small. If not for the lemming straight ticket republican voters (dems have them, too), Trump would be getting all bronzed up for season 12 of the apprentice right now.

Then stop whining about how the obvious lies about the NRA are ignored. Communist Democrats, like yourself, are the enemies of all things American. Best you pretend it doesn't exist.

I wasn't. You're the whiny little bitch, not me. It appears the accusations against the NRA are on solid ground and are probably true.

You DO know they originated within the NRA itself... right? From people like Ollie North, who is now a cooperating witness.

Oops, AM radio didn't tell ya that, did it? Nope.

Who is doing the reporting. CNN? New York Times? Long past believing that slop.

Irrelevant to the content of the court filings or direct quotes from the prosecutor. That is your way of shielding your own very delicate sensibilities.
