So NRA's Wayne LaPierre spent 13K for summer intern's apartment?:

[Kingofalldems]

Any theories?

1. Male Or Female

either way has complications

[leftieNanner]

2. I hadn't thought of that

Wayne is a creep no matter what.

[Me.]

4. Could Be Very Interesting

[Salviati]

3. The document refers to a apartment rented in Fairfax VA for a "Megan Allen"

So perhaps her: (And she would have interned at the right time - in 2016 -2017)

5. Couldn't Read It

So next I ask, why the pay? And if she's got a beef down the road will the NRA be subject to a payout. Seems possible a Mr. Pecker's services could come in handy.

[Salviati]

6. I'm just going off of the snippet we got to see in the tweet.

So my info may not be complete.

9. 13K for 3 months.

Must have been a nice apartment.

[HipChick]

14. Apartments in Fairfax generally not cheap..

$1500 or so per month
13K over 3 months seems excessive.... must have been the penthouse or something

[Kingofalldems]

11. Gift planning associate?

[brush]

24. Wonder if he had a key? And why is he paying for an apt. for an intern?

[Pepsidog]

35. What is a gift buying associate.

[Wounded Bear]

38. She has the look: young, blonde, cute...nt

[TheBlackAdder]

22. What it Jerry Fallwell Jr.'s pool boy?

[brewens]

8. If I remember right, Wayne got a draft deferment for a nervous condition. That gives me

this image of his hiding under the bed on the 4th of July like some little dog terrified of the fireworks! I know he's more of a legal administrative type, but still! LOL

I did a search to see if I could find any pics of him actually shooting a gun and came up empty. That doesn't mean there are none, but I seriously doubt it.

[PatrickforO]

30. Yeah, but since Viagra, that nervous condition has just plain gone away! n/t

[Leghorn21]

10. Every dadgum day, we get another delicious NRA drip of self-dealing dumbfuckery

and I’M LOVIN IT!!!

[HipChick]

20. I wonder who leaked it....someone wants him OUT!!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

37. Probably someone who could get his secretary to sneak docs out of the NRA building in her clothes...

[PatrickforO]

31. I like the word, "dumbfuckery."

No doubt at all about what it means in terms of Wayne's behavior...

[sharedvalues]

12. Someone email this to Josh Marshall

@NRaleighLiberal?

[MH1]

13. $4K / month for an apartment, in Fairfax, VA? Whoda thunk it?

New York or San Fran, maybe.

I guess a short term lease runs a little higher than a normal apartment rent, but still. 13K for about 3 months sounds insane.

[HipChick]

15. A nice size 3BR apartment in Fairfax

Can you run you 6K per month....

[MH1]

17. But why 3BR for a single person? Hell a summer intern should get a studio.

I didn't realize Fairfax was so expensive. But still.

[HipChick]

19. So the NRA headquarter is locate right by...

sounds like a Mr.Pecker was involved ...

[ansible]

16. Rent these days in general is insane

Not unusual at all now

[magicarpet]

18. Living LARGE on someone elses dime ....

....that makes the NRA big-shots very much like trDump.

[Paladin]

21. Google Zegna clothes.....

….and see how easy it would be to piss away $39,000. And LaPierre never even looked that well-dressed.

[Leghorn21]

23. Tweeter Mike Beauvais totally agrees with you, Paladin!:

How does Wayne LaPierre manage to spend $39K on clothes
and still manage to always look like he dropped $113 at a Men’s
Wearhouse 3-for-1 blowout sale?

34. Maybe the clothes were for the intern in the apartment.

25. NRA desperately needs more money

The NRA Is Being Sued Over Its Relentless Telemarketing Campaigns

When begging for bucks goes wrong.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-nra-is-being-sued-over-its-relentless-telemarketing-campaigns

The NRA has employed InfoCision since 2012 under a contract that grants the fundraising company up to 65 percent of the funds it raises on the NRA’s behalf. InfoCision gets between $2.50 and $3.75 for each “completed call” to potential NRA donors, and up to half of the regular payments for new or renewed NRA memberships.
-------------------------------------------

If those high fees are unavoidable, they can also have the effect of obscuring, for a potential donor, exactly where his or her money is going. Many of those speaking with an InfoCision fundraiser, after all, will not know that a majority of their donation is not going to the charity that fundraiser is representing.

comment from a blog (DU I think)

I had a coworker who was a big time gun owner who kept a gun in every room in the house just in case someone broke in (lots of problems with that idea, may be worth a blog article someday, but that’s what he did). He even went so far as to start buying more guns for each room after a school shooting, like home invasion and mass shooting are correlated somehow. He had let his NRA membership lapse and refused to renew it because he got tired of nonstop requests for donations. To him all the membership did was give the NRA to badger him for more money with phone calls, and direct mailings. If the
organization is as strapped for cash as it appears, those solicitations may have gone way over the top and people are simply tired of being badgered for money and are choosing to let their membership to lapse.

26. Who owns the apartment?

Maybe the owner is a senator or congressman who needed a few extra untraceable bucks?

27. NRA Cuts More Operating Costs-and Lavishes Executives With Perks

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

28. INUREMENT - look it up.

[Hoyt]

29. Probably innocent. That POS gets off on gunz.

[SayItLoud]

32. Catch and Kill PECKER and Nat. Enq ...I would bet they have the goods on NRA Wayne AND

Falwell! Can just imagine the "racy" photos of Evangelical hypocrite Falwell has. Let your mind wander!

[Stinky The Clown]

33. The intern was his niece.

You believe that, don't you?

:snort:

[Sneederbunk]

36. Intern was needed to fit his suits.

39. She's an "inseam specialist"
