Discussion: NRA Is Finally Distancing Itself From 2015 Russia Trip Organized By Butina

“[We] were stymied by the then-majority,” House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) told the Times. “We were really not able to determine how the Russians used the N.R.A. as a back channel or look into allegations that the Russians may have funneled money through the N.R.A. to influence the election. Those issues remain of deep interest to us.”

 I'm sure this is something that a few strategically deposited campaign contributions would make go away.

Why would anyone think that this was an official trip?

But plenty of NRA luminaries did make the trip, including former NRA president and Butina friend David Keene; Joseph Gregory, co-chair of the NRA’s special group for donors of $1 million or more; and then-vice president Pete Brownell.

Other than that.

The NRA and the Russians have a common cause. They both want Americans to shoot each other.

They can’t distance themselves very far.

The NRA pinup girl, Sarah Palin can see Rusher from her back window, after all.

So much for distancing.

“[NRA Chief Executive] Wayne [LaPierre] was opposed to the trip,” NRA attorney William H. Brewer III told the Times, adding that staff members were barred from joining the delegation.

Then-NRA president Allan Cors backed out of a plan to accompany the delegation, saying in a statement to the Times: “Wayne expressed concerns about this trip and suggested that I not participate. Wayne did not want any misconception that this was an official trip. Frankly, I had similar concerns.”

uh-huh

Every Democrat should have a spiel on this. Over and over again. And that includes current efforts to road block.

If there is a visible Achilles heel for the Republicans, this one has traction. It is neat, square edged, served in a box, no vacillating involved. Every excuse can be slapped away like a gnat. Go do it folks!

This is how you drop your drugs when the cops come around the corner. Quiet and calm, hand down by your leg, open your hand enough for the drugs to slip out and land in the gutter. Always worth a try.

Oh, I don’t know. There’s probably a plurality of voters that would say the accidental or intentional gun death of their loved one is a small price to pay if it means preserving an unrestricted, expansive interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. Otherwise we’d have had common sense guns laws by now.

We prefer to only launder money that’s been through a Deutsche Bank pre-soak…

Be very very careful with that backpedal, guys, when you’re carrying sub-automatic weapons…or we’ll have to pry them out of your cold, dead hands.
