Wayne Lapierre Money Admissions

[snert]

I am stunned by his blatant theft of funds from us. He made sweetheart deals for Ms Marion Hammer which is a total let down. I just don't know what to think about the NRA anymore.

Jon, just a hint. What you are feeling in your gut...go with it.

To keep the honest rank and file members from throwing him out he had to have many, many other corrupt employees and board members in on the cash to keep him in power. How would they be weeded out? And who would know who they are? I would guess he is keeping all this secret so that the retirement and golden parachute are not taken away when these secret allies are replaced.

WLP claimed some of the things he received he didn't know were illegal, like clothes, travel and expensive vacations. He is not stupid, so that makes him a liar.

The most infuriating issue with LaPierre’s crimes is the fuel it gives the left to paint us all with the same brush. I copied some of the comments that are already being made:

And this surprises us? Nope. It's kinda like Ford saying the Chevy Vega is junk, but our pinto is great. What I am saying is the commentors have an agenda.
What hurts is that the vega and the pinto were both junk...

As a life member, if there was a petition that demanded the resignation of the entire 'board', without hesitation I would sign.

Not sure why this should surprise anybody. Unions have been doing this forever. Spending members money on the same type stuff for as long as they've been representing workers. Doesn't excuse LaPierre and his actions still make him corrupt in how he spent members money but it's not nothing new to these member money organizations.

So many people,politicians,union leaders and charitable organizations are all effected by money and power. I think the CDC should study it. I am and will be an NRA life member until they close their doors. But I have taken the time to write board members about this BS. Years ago when Wounded Warrior Project was rolling out they had a group there that acted like Wayne. The Vet groups that supported them bombarded the Org. with letters and they resolved the issue. That may help here. We can`t give up. The pols and unions are a different beast, one can sick the IRS or ? on you and the other will have you beat up or worse. Let`s deal with the NRA and get them back on track. FAST.

Read the article in the Washington Post today (2/4/24) about the NRA and WLP. WLP said in his resignation letter he was ill and had diminished mental capacity. Will say anything to stay out of jail. It does not say if the NRA is paying his legal bills. It does say he has returned $990,000 to the NRA. How did he accumulate that much? It does say Larry Craig is still on the board, former Idaho senator, convicted of trying to make contacts for sex in a airport men's room.

Martha was taxes, I agree very little. The NRA board allowed Wayne to spend the $, they knew what was going on.

Actually it was insider trading.
She was found guilty of one count of conspiracy, two counts of making false statements, and one count of obstruction of agency proceedings.

 

[coldboreshot]

Maybe someone should check HIS garage for questionable documents as well? Appears to be the trend with ranking individuals squandering money. Just saying.

If you disagree with the board members and Wayne, then run for office and/or elect other board members when the time for voting comes around and change it.

You have not been paying attention. Several good people have done that. WLP's grip was so pervasive it was not possible. Do some Googling on Col Oliver North.

Is Oliver North still with the NRA?
