“But behind the internecine squabbling lie deeper financial problems. A review of tax records by The New York Times shows that, to steady its finances, the powerful lobbying group has increasingly relied on cash infusions and other transactions involving its affiliated foundation — at least $206 million worth since 2010.

The role of the foundation is among the issues being examined in a new investigation into the N.R.A.’s tax-exempt status by the New York attorney general, Letitia James. The N.R.A. and the charity received separate letters last month from Ms. James’s office ordering them to preserve pertinent records, according to several people who had seen them.

At issue for investigators, tax experts say, would be whether that money was being used for charitable purposes, as required by law, and not to help finance the N.R.A.’s political activities.

National Rifle Association Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre billed the group’s ad agency $39,000 for one day of shopping at a Beverly Hills clothing boutique, $18,300 for a car and driver in Europe and had the agency cover $13,800 in rent for a summer intern, according to newly revealed NRA internal documents.

The documents, posted anonymously on the internet, provide new details of the clothing, travel and other expenses totaling more than $542,000 that Ackerman McQueen Inc. alleges Mr. LaPierre billed to it.

The travel expenses allegedly include more than $200,000 in “Air Transportation” costs during a one-month period in late 2012 and early 2013, in part related to a two-week trip over Christmas to the Bahamas by Mr. LaPierre.

Ha ha ha ha. All the gun crazies will have a hard time defending that behavior.

Nope. Wayne's gotta go. The membership is in revolt, they won't stand for this stuff. On the various gun forums on the interwebz, there's a lot of anger about this. The two biggest gun blog sites (TFB and TAG) plus ARFCOM all have multiple daily postings about the scandal.

Wayne is cooked. And the BoD is too, if they don't come out against him in the next few days. If this doesn't happen, the NRA will loose most of its members. They know this.

I say he's gone within two weeks.

I’ll take that bet. They just re-elected LaPierre in April and most of these spending issues must have been known by then.

+1 The NRA puts ideology above honesty and competence.

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/443270-leaked-documents-show-more-than-500000-in-alleged-spending-by

Documents published online reportedly show more than $542,000 that the National Rifle Association's (NRA) public relations firm alleges the organization's CEO, Wayne LaPierre, billed to it, including $39,000 for shopping at a clothing store in one day, $18,300 for a car and driver in Europe, and $13,800 in rent payments for an intern.

The anonymously posted expense reports are seemingly genuine, a source familiar with the original documents told The Wall Street Journal.


The expenses also allegedly include more than $200,000 in “Air Transportation” costs in less than a month, partially connected to a Christmastime Bahamas visit by LaPierre, the Journal reported.
