The Washington, D.C., attorney general has been investigating the NRA Foundation for more than a year. It said its investigation determined that low membership and lavish spending left the NRA with financial problems and so it exploited the foundation to remain afloat. It offered as an example two $5 million loans that the NRA Foundation board approved in 2017 and 2018 despite the NRA’s financial problems, and then repeatedly granted requests to extend and modify the loan.
The lawsuit said LaPierre, 70, spent millions of the NRA’s dollars on travel consultants, including luxury black car services, and hundreds of thousands of dollars on private jet flights for himself and his family, including more than $500,000 on eight trips to the Bahamas over a three-year span. Frazer, the corporate secretary and general counsel, is accused of aiding the alleged misconduct by certifying false or misleading annual regulatory filings, failing to comply with governance procedures, failing to enforce a conflict of interest policy, and failing to ensure that board members were reviewing transactions or that the the organization was following the law.
The lawsuit comes at a time when the NRA is trying to remain relevant and a force in the 2020 presidential election as it seeks to help President Donald Trump secure a second term.
detroitccw damn, Rick. I'm all for protecting ourselves but supporting an organization that uses donations to fatten their pockets and that has this much corruption makes zero sense. They're crooks and liars. WayneLapierre NewYorkStateAG
BernieTafoya NYC AG Lititia James is a Disgrace& a Political weapon against America & our Constitution! Impeach this Treasonous AG Lititia James! These kind of Treasonous Corrupt Criminals are Attacking Conservative America & our Constitution while allowing Terrorists to LOOT&burn the Cities!
Too bad we don’t have a weapon that would dissolve people
COVID Kill the deplorables then peace will reign
The Democrat Party is moving closer and closer to their dream of a complete totalitarian dictatorship, assuming they have the power to dissolve an organization just because they don't like them. Need to get ALL of the Marxists in the Democrat Party out of office.
As a new lawsuit threatens to dissolve the NRA, lawyers for the organisation are devastated to learn that thoughts and prayers are inadmissible in court.
It is what it is
Ain’t never gonna happen keep dreaming democrats
If the right wing folks here actually cared about the 2nd Amendment and not culture war politics you'd think they'd actually support suing an org that stole their money under the guise of defending gun rights.
Now let the voices sing the praises, he is finally caught.
Insanity in New York is astonishing
The timing could not be worse. The Republicans will use this as a part of its get out the vote drive. The legs points raised during the announcement will get lost in the debate surrounding the election. I only wished they held this until election dayvpasses.
NEmpirecd2003 Finally. End their scam. Their crack house of foreign money laundering - prostituting the idea of patriotism as a cover for their own crimes.
Stole $63 million from member dues for personal use
DearAuntCrabby Cool, get rid of the scumbags
Another Trump crony getting a reality check!😏
This document is my Affidavit via my U.C.C. 1-308 1-207. All Rights Reserved. Therefore, Combating the De Factoists by using their own Policies and Procedures against the De Factoists Unlawfulists.
Sounds like Modus operandi of gop cheat steal chisel lie-live off other people’s money NRA
HEY 👋 FOLLOW ME 😂🤣 Purdy please lol (I'm a lonely one over here with no friends)... lol
Someone needs some attention...
I see this & can’t help but recall Emma4Change’s speech calling BS on all the politicians who cowered before the NRA. She was right.
He’s a stupid man to think they can get ride of NRA which is a public company he’s an idiot,
Most law suits are for money? I wonder if this one is the same? 🤔
DearAuntCrabby Wayne, you were made to wear orange!!!!!
If this goes through Planned Parenthood is done for.
I think I’ll join the NRA today
NRA will win .NYC has bigger problems De Blasio Cuomo Worst. mayor and Governor in America
The hypocrisy, lmao, when it comes to any political organization.
Remember when the NRA was mostly about promoting gun safety and marksmanship?
Dissolve BLM KKK ANTIFA.
Burn that organization to the ground my dad gave up his process with the NRA
aubrey_harris NRA members should NOT settle for scammers and looters to uphold their 2nd Amendment rights. Have some actual standards! Who cares about 'owning libs' when you're being robbed!
who poses 😱 better?
YAY
Next up Texas AG goes to court to dissolve Planned Parenthood. You guys see the political back and forth of idiocy coming don’t you?
Why not focus on the pedophiles in the Epstein/Maxwell case? Or how about the elderly death's from the governor's policy to put positive covid patients in with the elderly? I know this is divert attention to the real criminals. Got it 🧐🤨😏
I’m thinking about this and it’s optically & politically favorable to the right at a critical time. Doesn’t really require any spotlight and probably could have waited. 🧐Its trending.
Such convenient timing
Great organization
That is totally corrupyt
NRA IS NOT THE SECOND AMENDMENT CHILDREN
Zzzzz
The crazy is really coming out as the left is about to roll. WWG1WGA
Good luck with that. 😂
Dissolve the NRA!!
Where's Charlie Rangel when you need him!?
Quote from SC Justice Chief W. Burger on the NRA & their 2A agenda. “one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by any special interest group that I have ever seen in my lifetime.” True then. True now.
Obama didn't take this route because....?
BLM next?
Good about time
'its leaders exploited the company for personal gain.' I’m shocked...SHOCKED, I tell you!
Ironic how a democrat is leading the lawsuit. Wonder if there are any personal vendettas about her.
It's about time !
By that standard, when do we dissolve government?
I heard that thieves hit NRA members residents because they have lots of weapons. When thieves see vehicles with NRA insignia they follow and case the location. Just saying.
Wayne LaPierre maybe going to jail. That is exciting. This is huge for gun control advocacy. A change is coming.
Not gonna happen.
I wonder what Wayne Lapierre is doing right now
NRA takes in more than over $300M. The president gets more than $4M with a deferred compensation distribution from his 'employee funded deferred compensation plan', which totaled $6M. Where does all that money go?
Thieves. NRA
If true NRA , no need to dissolve, just replace and jail for the guilty ones.
Thank you for giving the Republicans the Senate.
We better see all of those weapons burnt to the grown and not just “stored away”...let’s LEARN from mistakes
With this superpowers?!
That would be great that would be less money funneled from Russia to the Republican party
I don't need attorney generals from other states to force their political agenda on me. They don't work for me. If someone has done something wrong, put them on trial. You don't kill the dog to rid him of fleas. Wake up!
The government is complaining about exploiting people for gain? That's rich.
DearAuntCrabby Wayne LaPierre, proud alumni of the Trump University MBA in Non Profit and Foundation Mismanagement
and like that, gun sales double.
Now do Antifa, Clinton foundation and assorted other democrat scams that are organized crime
Interesting timing! Just before the election with attempts to defund or abolish the police, antifa rioting & burning down cities & everyone in America feeling threatened!
Just like the politicians exploit the American people every day for their own gain.
The left will try anything to void the Second Amendment.
Everything the AP article says about the NRA leadership actually describes leftist politicians and high-ranking law-enforcement officials. -Carlos Osweda
How much money did they steal from hard working American taxpayers Criminals seem to surround gop.
NRA laundering money. Top execs skimming money in the form of loans (ha!) and outrageous salaries. I am shocked I tell you. SHOCKED.
Indict the con men and thieves, leave the NRA intact because its cult followers won’t stand for its dissolution.
Great. Now bust Trump & his crime family.
Ridulous! The Same could be said for Black Lives Matter
Sound familiar, GrifterInChief realDonaldTrump?
Now do Planned Parenthood
When guns are outlawed, I will become an outlaw.
They don't care if they've been ripped off lol they believe trumps lies an bs. hopefully it changes something.
LAW AND ORDER!
TheNRAIsNotCorrupt
The NRA will ultimately win the case. But NY may cease to exist before then, forcing the case to be dropped
komonews Hoooeee way to wake up to a little LAW & ORDER around here! Aaaand just bc a sitting Prez is somehow immune to the legal consequences of rampant corruption & fraud doesn't mean his kids or his colleagues aren't This sets a mighty stiff precedent for a soon to be ex-president
Now NRA members are going to argue for the nra to continue defrauding them.
a communist will lie when the truth would sound better. and there is no longer a Democrat party, it is now a full fledged Communist party
Fantastic
What does that mean?
The NRA has fallen very far from the great organization it once was. Its now just a lobby group for gun makers and an outlet for foreign money laundering.
HahahhHa.
DearAuntCrabby They are going to do what?!
People think getting rid of the NRA will stop people from killing others with a firearm.😂
DearAuntCrabby Pepé Le Pew seems a little excited today
The US Constitution protects your right to bear arms. It doesn’t protect the NRA from fraudulent use of your donations to them.
Brilliant it is like in the Untouchables where they take down Capone over tax evasion ...
Lunatic liberals are the Enemy !!
Can we sure the NYAG office for exploiting its law enforcement power for partisan political grandstanding?
Can we sue the NY AG for FAILING his job duties -No prosecution for Epstein, rioters, ClintonFdn, ETC, or for too many trees on his lawn or forcing his breath on people w/o regard to COVID19? So many questions! NYGovCuomo NRA nypost WakeUpAmerica
Leftists Marxist!!
sarahdrew YES !
To hell with NY and to hell with the left
Now do the Clinton Foundation. What percentage of donations actually went to help people? 20% of donations went to fundraising for goodness sakes. I bet they had some nice cocktail parties.
right trumps might
Sure, another group of grifters. No more nra
And the Clinton Foundation don’t
No different than all politicians.Desolve them to
AWESOME! Now sue to dissolve the Trump administration for the same reason & we’ll all live happily ever after. realDonaldTrump 🖕🏼 NRA 🖕🏼
He meant planned parenthood correct
Oh yeah? What does he plan to do if they refuse?
Get ‘em girl. 💪
cryborg
With all that’s going on in NY right now with hominids, gestapo like checkpoints and corruption this is what they focus on!?
Not surprised that NRA supporters are convinced that their membership dues are going to an organization that has their best interests in mind. The same people that get taken advantage by churches and candidates like Trump, thinking they also have their best interests in mind.
3 mos. before an election? That should go well. Good luck with that. Yikes.
' its leaders exploited the company for personal gain.'...I think that's called BUSINESS! Capitalism!
realDonaldTrump will have to stop providing support for his favourite paedophilie, sex traffickers to support the NRA and more shootings. Terrible being that sort of President.
Never going to happen. NRA
patriot_moon Pot calling kettle black 🙄
AMadolche What if every person shot or injured has the right to claim medical expenses from nra if shooters are members and hospital staff traumatized by gsv able to claim for therapy too.
LOL
About damn time.
I’m filing a lawsuit looking to dissolve planned parenthood in it’s entirety due to decades of murdering babies.
Didn't see that coming.
Not to mention laundering Russian money
Shouda stuck with teaching marksmanship to Cub Scouts...
MaxFilby Very good
Lock them all up.
I'm pretty sure there is something in the water in NYC. We should be suing to dissolve NY polititions!!
They should bare minimum lose their tax exempt status.
Good riddance! Bye bye 👋
Great
Thoughts and prayers
ad_quig How about dissolve black lives matter inc
Crazy to see how many want criminal activity in organizations like MS-13 shut down are all for criminal activity in the NRA.
DRAIN THE SWAMP = The NRA
YESSSSS!!
Now do the same with Mega Churches, they are no different then the NRA, You think Joel Olsteen got into the Biz for Jesus, nada he did it for the Mansion, the Money and lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ while warping Jesus's name.
There’s a shocker.
Move your entity registration to Texas.
It seems that the Democrats, supported by the Obamastaliban (BLM, AntiFa, BP, LGBT and various Marxists) by various judges and many representatives of the deepstate, are pushing for a new civilwar. And even traitorous Republicans support Biden😎
FOX26Houston *yawn*
This will backfire massively and the NY AG is a massive fucking moron for doing this
What took so long ?
Thoughts and prayers
WLKY Just leave this patriotic organization alone and keep with your Marxist brothers.
Meanwhile the streets are a warzone... maybe focus on that instead of the NRA which promotes legal and responsible gun ownership?
Finally
Communist pigs.
Great theory NewYorkStateAG now do BLM and Media Matters and Planned Parenthood and
juzz_18
It needs to be dissolved
Hahahahaha never happen
“Cancel Culture is everywhere! I vow to send the NRA even more of my money so they can illegally misuse it for personal gain.” -an idiot
Can you believe regular NRA members and their families are begging McConnell to extend the $600 a week unemployment benefit that has recently expired?!? What a bunch of suckers!!!
Yes, do dissolve it.
Wait till red state AGs go after BLM Inc...
Michell91374063 Unfortunately this will go nowhere.
Long overdue.
What a great day it would be for the world if that bunch of gun-toting nut jobs lost their organisation. We can dream.
This is about corruption not guns
Yeah. That’s a great plan. To tell millions of conservatives you’re coming for their guns during an election year. I wonder who that benefits? Trump 2020
“Dissolve deez nuts.” -NRA
Now let’s watch as they turn on each other
Right
What business doesn't? I'm in business to make money.
komonews NRA is a domestic terrorist organization that has enabled and emboldened shooters with their fearmongering and their work to make guns accessible to those who should never have them. Even most gun owners and law enforcement have agreed that current restrictions are too lax.
Maybe she should start with the top 5 on this list.
Lol
No way they're doing this without a mountain of evidence. It might not take the NRA out, but will cripple them for damn sure. There will be multiple, significant indictments.
Lol 😂
selfdeclaredref Yawn. Hardly a big story. NRA has been getting more and more irrelevant.
BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHABAHAHAHAHAH
They do know it will do nothing but raise gun sales 😂😂 Congrats 🎉
Well that's a great way to boost NRA membership. Thanks libs! Great timing considering June gun sales set a record all-time high. Money, time, & energy invested into actually prosecuting rampant crime in NYC might be a more worthy endeavor. The NRA isn't going anywhere.
What a galactic waste of time and money. TishJames, please focus on the violence and crime in the neighborhoods you swore an oath to protect. This lawsuit is your focus while dozens of black youth are shot weekly in NYC? Please resign if you want to Grandstand. It is pathetic.
Cases like these are always based on hard paperwork. Paperwork they obviously have. Banking documents included. On paper, that's basically bullet proof. Essentially, NY has 'the bookkeeper.' Which later, can lead to criminal prosecution, much less financial restitution.
Remember folks, the NRA only supported gun control when the Black Panthers started carrying them. They have never supported gun control when fascists carry guns.
Unconstitutional. That pesky First Amendment & all.
The NRA is racist as well... They are completely silent when it comes to non-white people who want to bear arms.
Hooray nail NRA leaders
Sounds like they were going by the GOP play book.
Now that's a waste of taxpayers dollars. Another way for attorneys to make endless money.
Guys, please read the article before you commenting on it.
The NRA should have been dissolved years ago for it's ads identifying Democrats as the enemy. That's information warfare intended to divide our Nation.
Just waiting for total sum LaPierre fleeced. $17 million is the starting point.
They want to dissolve the NRA because they are scared.
Laughably ridiculous assault on the First and Second Amendments. The NRA thinks this is awesome because it's going to lead to tons of donations and new members. Is Letitia James a sleeper agent?
This is a direct attack on the 2nd Amendment.
roybelly 'You can have my personal piggy bank when you pry it from my dead, cold fingers!'
NY AG is anti civil rights organizations.
LongfellowJean bye bye
NY said
OzKaterji Good. Fuck them. When I was looking into groups, made me never to want to be part of the nra. Anyone reading, join a different gun group.
That face you make when the State of New York doesn't even buy you dinner first.
She can't dissolve the NRA. She can file charges against Wayne . But to dissolve the organization-laughable.
Good luck lol
My thoughts and prayers
Good riddance to the NRA!! Trump meltdown in 3....2....1....
The NRA Is this woman serious Since 1871..a non-profit organization? Incredible! Perhaps someone should tell this bitch about The Clinton Foundation?
ha bring it! I’m a lifetime member...we’re not going anywhere.
Eh, at least New York's priorities are not in order.....
Glorious
