Congressional investigators want to talk to the NRA’s own lawyer about concerns over the group accepting money from Russia and giving it to Trump.
McClatchy reported, “Congressional investigators are examining information that a longtime attorney for the National Rifle Association had concerns about the group’s ties to Russia and its possible involvement in channeling Russian funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump, two sources familiar with the matter say. Cleta Mitchell, a former NRA board member who has done legal work for the organization, is on a newly disclosed list of people whom Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are seeking to interview. Democratic investigators for that committee’s Senate counterpart also are interested in what she may know about relationships between the NRA or its allies and wealthy Russians, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
The NRA is already under FBI investigation for potentially illegally funneling Russian money to the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. The group is drawing scrutiny from investigators in both law enforcement and Congress as their ties to Putin oligarchs are being disclosed.
The NRA is not a membership organization for gun owners. The NRA is the lobbying arm of the gun industry. They don’t get their money from membership dues. They are funded by some shady large donors like Russian oligarchs and the gun industry. It is ironic that an organization that has wrapped itself tightly around the flag and the Second Amendment is taking money from a foreign enemy of the United States.
American trucks with NRA stickers are billboards on wheels for Putin, as the Russians appear to be much more involved in American politics than helping Trump get elected president. The Russians were helping Trump win by illegally laundering campaign donations through the NRA.
