NRA admits moving money accounts foreign donations us campaign accounts

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/nr...ounts-foreign-donations-us-campaign-accounts/

For the record this is exactly what Obama said in his SOTU when Alito rolled his eyes and mouthed "not true".

I cant wait to see how the right defends this.

 

This admission almost certainly opens the NRA to legal liability wherein they are, at a minimum, forced to disclose their monetary practices.

 

I noticed the righties here, who are very fervent in their support of the NRA have become curiously silent on this one

 

They made it public and stated it is within the law, so unless you have other facts, I don't know what you are expecting anyone to comment on? If there are other facts, they'll come out. In the meantime, as you were.

 

If the NRA broke the law there's a shatstorm about to hit Fairfax. They say they didn't break the law.

Idk, when congress passes something it's as thick as a Gutenberg Bible, and usually has a little something in it for every special interest group and lobbyist in D.C.

Who knows? Only the Shadow knows for sure. I guess we'll see after the accountants and lawyers sift through it. Perhaps there are a lot parachutists jumping into Fairfax right now.

 

No we aren't, we are just responding in the other thread on this exact topic.

Not sure why you guys have to spam the same story multiple times.

This is a dupe thread.

 

I am not a rightie, but I support the second amendment and the NRA. Im not sure why foreigners would donate to them, (Unless it is a foreign gun manufacturer) but I can't blame them for accepting the money and using it in their political victory fund. They are still outspent 20 to 1 and struggle to defend what is left of our second amendment.

 

From NRA: “receive funds from foreign persons only for purposes not connected to elections, as permitted by federal law.”

End thread!

You'd be surprised.

Over on reddit there was a tiny trend where foreign nationals responded to the American bigot gun-grabber culture by buying NRA memberships.

 

So you support the fact that foreign entities can now participate financially in our election process ? And they the NRA is the doing it ?

 

“But we commingled the ccounts”......

Your being obtuse, but you already knew that

 

The law (linked below) says no foreign money allowed in campaigns, directly or indirectly. Proving that none of the foreign money was indirectly donated to any American campaign means opening their books. I feel sure they do not want to open their books, but the milk is already spilt.

If what they did was lawful, then it's allowed. It says money was moved, it doesn't say they did spend foreign money on campaigns. Kind of how PP moves money around to show none of it pays for abortions.

 

Why did you put something that isn't true and wasn't said by anybody in quotes?

 

And you would be OK with this if this was George Soros I’m sure

The problem with this is that it IS legal. But your so focused on it being the NRA, that your actually defending it. But thats no real surprise form the partisans on this board.

 

The NRA admitted that they take foreign donations, and that they moved money between accounts. But you knew that

That IS co-mingling of monies.

Why can’t you just admit that CU allows corporations and foreign entities to buy American politicians ?

 

Why should I admit to something that isn't true and there is no proof of?

 

Good thing money isn’t fungible lol

 

So you’re saying I’m defending what is legal? Are you not making sense on purpose?

 

Hillary said she never sent a classified email, and they never proved she did, so I’m sure you believe that ?

They admitted that they take foreign donations, and they also admitted that they transfer money between accounts.

 

Are you being obtuse ?

I don’t care which side did it. The fact that this allows foreign money into elections, and it IS legal IS the problem.

Obama said this in his SOTU, and Alito tried to call him out while Obama was correct

 

Many posters on here are not even American and many just garden variety turncoats, so why would they give a rat's ass? They would like nothing more than to see the USA crash and burn.

 

No, as long as they can prove that the money donated to campaigns did not exceed money donated to the NRA from American sources. You have already decided they have done something with zero evidence other than your own idea.
