NRA financial records subpoenaed



NRA financial records subpoenaed


The attorney general for Washington, DC has issued subpoenas for the National Rifle Association and its charitable foundation. The gun rights organization is in the sights of nonprofit regulators, and under fire separately for connections to convicted Russian military intelligence agent Maria Butina -- not to mention the NRA's own internal power struggles, interpersonal petty drama, and financial ruin.

”The NRA is under siege by Cuomo and the New York
State A.G., who are illegally using the State’s legal
apparatus to take down and destroy this very important
organization, & others. It must get its act together quickly,
stop the internal fighting, & get back to GREATNESS - FAST!”

These people are despicable - the Con is more concerned about the NRA being legally investigated than dead children. Go figure!

Don't forget Spanish prosecutor Jose Grinda saying Don Jr should be "very concerned" about wiretaps of his meetings w Putin crony Alexander Torshin (also NRA's contact in Russia). Grinda turned those wiretaps over to FBI.

Yeah, this responder will be a billionaire just any day now. And, if that actually happens, I call first dibs on the hog line that would materialize to scam the guy out of his fortune.

dangerous, I know ....me thinking, but despite the apparently stalled freeze-frame we are in, this has been a very good week, and when history looks back it will be this period of time that marked the turning point.

There is the Epstein scandals, for sure, and the pending Mueller testimony, and the House subpoena barrage, and a High Court that is, here or there, skeptical ... but what is really happening is in the ancillary action. The scandals are being linked together, one scandal is uncovering 3,4,5 connections to new scandals, present, past, or unresolved, and people are following the money that connects all these things together, because that is what the Big Fish do, they collect, steal, borrow, create the money. There are Twitter users who are revealing the results of their two-year data mining of Dark Web money, the connections they made, the international links.

We are making progress.
