Fraud. It's also fraud.I have no idea what any of this is about. I heard one remark concerning the NRA but I have no idea what it is concerning. What are we supposed to take from this?
This is a better source:
New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in new lawsuit
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday that her office has filed a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association and its leadership, including Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, looking to dissolve the organization.
James accused the organization of having "a culture of self-dealing," taking millions of dollars for personal use and granting contracts that benefited leaders' family and associates.
"The NRA's influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets," James said in a statement. "The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law."
Thank you. This helps. She is wasting the taxpayers money. If they are taking millions for personal use (which I agree they do) that is an internal and member issue.
typically you prosecute fraud to protect the victim of the fraud. here they are going after the perpetrators to destroy the victim.
If they are violating their tax exempt status the victims are the taxpayers.
That is a stretch, and the action should still be by the people leading the organization, not the organization.
Why seek to dissolve the NRA instead of just prosecuting the perpetrators? Is there any other case where this has happened?
Or is this just a shockingly obvious attempt by a elected DA to destroy an organization they don't like?
I have no idea what she has or what she plans on doing. If they violated their tax exempt status though they should be prosecuted.
You prosecute people for breaking the law, this is an attempt to silence the NRA as an organization, and by proxy the people who support it.
