ooooooooooohh now it's getting juicy
I wonder if it will go anywhere, or it's just a baseless allegation. Regardless, I'm glad I'm a part of the GOA and USCCA instead.
Next we're gonna find out that the Trump Organization gave Thanos an infinity stone
God how many more conservative groups are going to be suspected/found in bed with russia?
Not surprising in the slightest. The recent NRA ads act like satirical clips from Starship Troopers.
Remember when the Republicans were supposed super pro-America patriots? Weird how now they're actively turning America into a 2nd rate Eastern European tirbutary state
I don't understand the point of that at all. The NRA has sooo much money and was going to give a ton of it to Trump no matter what because they would never support Clinton. It seems kind of sloppy for the Russians to try this. But then again, if Trump and Russia weren't sloppy, we wouldn't know about any of these investigations.
How much money is enough to people like La Pierre? More
Imagine the fucking irony if the group that tries to protect "THE REALLY IMPORTANT RIGHTS OF US CITIZENS" is actually paid off by Russians.
You call it irony, I call it gaslighting. And gaslighting is pretty much the word I'd use to describe how the Trump administration has handled America since inauguration.
National Russian Association
National Republican Association. They haven't been about gun rights for some time now. Rather, they've become a wing of the GOP. Those recent ads with Dana Loesch spouting off about "Liberal Media" are just icing on the crazy-cake.
patriots indeed.
Just to another country
Dont put the cart before the horse. This is just a preliminary to an actual investigation and the FEC hasnt confirmed anything so far. Theres not even any evidence, the senate Finance Commitee just wants to know where the money came from they gave to Trump. The NRA is a pretty shitty lobbying group, but it would be foolish on their part to risk everything to funnel Trump 30 mil he could easily get through other means.
The NRA is primarily funded by member donations, and anyone can become a member by donating. All it would take to have 'Russia secretly funding the NRA' would be for them to submit donations under alias or through sympathetic individuals. I'd be shocked if Russia wasn't funding the NRA, but I'd be more shocked if it actually translated into any measurable influence over the lobby's activities.
