And now the NRA has filed for bankruptcy? Is this true? And why (really)? Is this a "whole 'nother topic"? I found myself wishing it was part of this article
I have a good friend who made that connection - the Russian tap got turned off and the NRA dried up. Who else might dry up if Russia's spigot is closed off?
A former Russian Central Banker, Alexander Torshin ( a wanted man in Spain and Europe for all kinds of financial Crimes, Laundering, bribes, etc), with the help of Red Sparrow of an intelligence agent Maria Butina, infiltrate the NRA, with the disguise/cover as a foreign grad student and founder of an organization for a gun rights Russia that doesn't really exist, "Right to Bear Arms" of Russia. So, she is sleeping around with Republican donors and operatives like Paul Ericson-SD, and dirty old men to get both kompromat and to infiltrate the NRA leadership and donors, she is "eyes, ears, and insurance" to make sure Torshin's donations go to the right Republican PAC to the right Republican Candidates. Can you think of anything more sleezy, corrupt, unpatriotic, and illegal? Or is it legal for Foreigner's to donate to the NRA without disclosure and funnel to PACS of the NRA's choosing. As if that money doesn't come with strings attached. It really makes we wonder now about Joe Manchin's cozy relationship the NRA. Show me the money trail Senator Manchin, otherwise we know who owns your ass.
I think she became infamous for a bit of both. My impression isn't that she was seducing a bunch of NRA folks, more like being the attractive supporter in all the pictures they took. As I recall, she was working with Torshin.
TYPO ALERT: Printz was 1997, as I have corrected it, not 1991, as I just this second sent out. Sorry about that!

Yes, they are trying to escape consequences in the corruption investigation of them in NY.
Yes, they have. It's easily searchable. They plan on moving their HQ to Texas.
LetтАЩs not forget the NRAтАЩs Russian funding off DJT during the 2016 election, or Maria Butina either. Millions and millions of dollars poured in.

My brother is very upset about their moving. He got great pleasure in giving the middle finger every time he drove past the building to and from work!
Of course, his finger must have developed arthritis or some such thing.
Have to move since state of New York moved to dissolve NRA.

They could have dissolved and gone into the dark night while they looked for more dark money!

Let's take over the NRA and keep it in Washington? Or Alaska? Or New Hampshire? Or Nevada? Ha, or maybe Delaware?
Put the NRA where it belongs -- in a Russian oblast.
They are in bed with Putin anyway. See Maria Butina.
Ignore the sex ( maria butina) follow the Money (Alexander Torshin)

I would have claimed the "1" was just a poorly typed "7". ;-)
No worries
SUBSTACK NEEDS AN EDIT FUNCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought so too, but it makes us a little more reflective and disciplined to proof read ourselves, & not rely on the spell checker so much!
