Maybe the NRA lawyers were also in on any illegal activity? More evidence that the org is corrupt to it’s core.

The only good advice to any NRA president, ex-president, board member, ex-board member, staff, ex-staff, is have your own lawyer. You’ll never know if the bullet was for you or the person standing next to you.

Would love to see NY Attorney General James shut down the NRA just like she shut down the Trump Foundation!

The NRA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin.

Ollie started his NRA gig in Sept 2018. Pretty hard to pin 2016 shenanigans on him, though he may have been dumb enough to get involved in a coverup.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it isn’t as if the Russian spy, Butina, “attempted” to infiltrate the NRA, it is clear she did and brought along several easily corruptible Republican (Party of Annexed USA) elected officials for the ride.

Blah, blah, blah. Don Jr was at the NRA convention in Louisville KY in 2016 where you just know dirty shit went down. Perhaps we should find out who the NRA person was talking with Jr. that day.

Just sayin’.

According to the reich-wing, if they didn’t do anything wrong, they shouldn’t need lawyers.
