The evidence against the NRA is far from ‘baseless’; the evidence is both documented and compelling:I don't understand the importance of your last sentence.No, because the person making these charges is a Cuomo lackey in the NY DA office and this is nothing more than a political hit job to clear the NRA from obstructing their gun grabbing plans.Or...an alternative theory...and hear me out...is that it's about getting corrupt officials.![]()
‘I don’t trust them any more’: how the NRA became its own worst enemy
The most powerful gun lobby in the world has strayed from its core purpose and shot itself in the footwww.theguardian.com
LaPierre, in charge of the NRA’s day-to-day operations for nearly three decades, stands accused of spending millions of dollars on luxury black car services and private jet trips, including eight visits to the Bahamas, as well as accepting expensive gifts such as African safaris, hair and makeup for his wife and use of a 107-foot yacht. He also engineered a $17m post-employment contract for himself, according to the lawsuit.
All of this suggests an organisation that thinks it is above the law. Contributions are meant to promote Gun ownership and not Yachts and safaris. It all suggests a culture where top execs enrich themselves at the expense of the members. Those members should be pleased that their interests are being protected and the pigs are being removed from the trough.
This isn't about getting corrupt officials.....this is all about the democrat party targeting a group that was about to spend millions of dollars in political ads in battleground states........
It also reveals the that the democrats are going to do everything they can to take power in the United States...which should worry you tommy......once they wrech the U.S. there won't be anyone to support your welfare state....
That's plausible right?
The NRA is NOT a government agency.
Can't private organisaions be guilty of fraud?
Have members of the NRA brought the complaint of fraud to the DA, or is it just the DA making a baseless allegation?
‘The NRA’s filings included false or misleading statements relating to compensation and benefits conveyed to top employees and officers. For example, the IRS requires that certain employment benefits provided to persons listed on the IRS Form 990 Part VI as officers or highly
compensated employees be reported on Schedule J. The benefits include “first class or charter travel”, “travel for companions,” and health or social club dues. On Schedule J to the 2018 IRS Form 990, the NRA represented that it provided “first class travel,” “travel for companions,” and
“health or social club dues.” For each such benefit the NRA represented that the “organization follow(ed) a written policy regarding payment or reimbursement or provision of all the expenses” listed. This representation, certified by defendant Frazer, was false.
In another example of a false or misleading representation in the NRA’s employee benefit disclosures, in the NRA 2017 IRS Form 990, the NRA acknowledged providing “first class or charter travel” and “health or social club dues.” “Travel for companions” was not acknowledged as an employee benefit even though the NRA provided “travel for companions” during 2017. For each such benefit, the NRA represented on the 2017 IRS Form 990 that the “organization follow(ed) a written policy regarding payment or reimbursement or provision of all the expenses” listed. This representation, certified by defendant Frazer, was false.”
