    New York State Attorney General Letitia James' predecessor, former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, warned the NRA that “key Democratic actors” were putting pressure on the Attorney General’s office “to pursue the NRA for purely political purposes.”

    Schneiderman emphasized that while he opposed the NRA’s positions on the Second Amendment, he felt troubled by recent, extraordinary pressures being placed on his office by powerful political interests,” the lawsuit states.

    The NRA was warned by then NYAG Eric Schneiderman that Governor Cuomo was engineering an attack on the NRA,” King said in a statement. “I was told Cuomo would use every resource to pursue his lifelong dream of defeating the NRA, and an ‘investigation’ of our Association was on the horizon.”

    This politicized use of Public Power against Political Opponents has to end, and taking these vile AG's to court is the right way to fight it.

    The left's logic doesn't float. So what if the NRA goes away, there are still hundreds of millions of guns in this country that aren't. So other than robotic hate on command, what's their point?

    I get your sentiment but wait it out a minute. There are other 2A rights groups out there.

    There is a link, but it's from GatewayPundit, which is simply gibberish...

    Here's something readable

    SNIP
    The NRA filed a federal lawsuit against Ms James in the Northern District of New York claiming the action restricts the corporation's freedom of speech. They are also seeking a judicial declaration that the NRA complied with state law
    ENDSNIP

    Yup... nuisance suit... this will get tossed like the idiotic suit about Nancy's proxy voting was tossed today..

    Losing is a drug... and it must be GOOD!

    Let's see, NYC is going down the toilet, defund police movements are going on, and the Democrats are trying to insure that American's cannot defend themselves. Sounds like a winning strategy.

    Schneiderman evidently resented being pressured to uphold the law.

    The people who give money to this totally corrupt organization are willing victims.

    I congratulate you for taking responsibility.

    The NRA will eventually lose so many members who cannot tolerate being robbed that it will also lose all the political power it has acquired over the past 30 years.

    Sorry your wrong again, the NRA has been gaining members for the past few years and this action by NY will cause more people to join the NRA.

    Most people are smart enough to see through what NY is up to, sadly or fortunately, depending what side one is on, the anti-gunners are not the bright.

    No organization can embezzle $65 million without leaving a trace.

    Letitia James is not alone in her investigation, she is surrounded by very serious and competent people, and I am surprised that the members of this organization, which is supposed to be the champion of integrity, are defending the right of its directors to cheerfully dip into the fund.

    I doubt that. Trump/NRA supporters GLADLY give their money to corrupt organizations...

    PROUDLY

    It's a badge of honor to be grifted by the best...

    I don't see either of these legal proceedings going anywhere, but if the NY DA can at least publicly expose the worst of the NRA dealings, many might think twice before donating...

    Because the list of the names of those who made donations will be made public for doxxing purposes, correct? Send the message that anyone who supports an unfavored organization will be outed to the public and met with repercussions, correct?

    Nothing was embezzled, two separate auditing firms have reviewed the expenses and determined they are in line with standard business practices.

    You are falling for anti-gun propaganda put forth by Everytown who managed to get a few people employed by the NRA who began making trouble where fired and then released a false story that was distributed by Everytown's new outlet, which is also funded by Bloomberg.

    [quoute]Letitia James is not alone in her investigation, she is surrounded by very serious and competent people, and I am surprised that the members of this organization, which is supposed to be the champion of integrity, are defending the right of its directors to cheerfully dip into the fund.[/QUOTE]

    She's a political hack that ran on a platform of destroying the NRA, she will lose this and cost NY a serious sum of money.

    Uh... No.... The issue with the NRA is not the idiots who gleefully donate to a direct pipeline to individual personal gain for LaPierre and the BOD...

    It's the second thing...

    Which if you bothered to check the facts never happened, but go ahead and run with a false narrative, it speaks volumes about your integrity.

    OK, the battle lines are drawn.

    NOW, let's see clearly and unemotionally WHO has WHAT!

    Until and/or unless we are able to examine the case and the rebuttal clearly and objectively, we have NOTHING but political charge and countercharge.
