https://www.newsmax.com/us/lapierre-national-rifle-association-trial/2021/04/08/id/1016800/Under questioning from a lawyer for New York’s Attorney General, LaPierre defended the use of the yacht calling the trips a “security retreat.” Family members joined him on at least some yacht trips he took annually for six years, LaPierre said Wednesday. The NRA boss said that the yacht trips were among several items of value that he failed to disclose from 2013 and 2020, including a hunting trip in Botswana. “It should have been disclosed,” LaPierre told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin D. “Cooter” Hale during a court fight that could reshape one of the most politically powerful organizations in the U.S. LaPierre said he didn’t pay for the hunting trip, but described it as part of the gun-rights organization’s image-building efforts. He filed a disclosure form for the first time in the past few days listing items of value he’d received from people with, or who may be seeking, ties to the NRA. Incredible.

Judge “Cooter “.
WLP and several board members might have a big problem on their hands.
Thinking Oliver North and Col. West are watching this and smiling somewhat.

Anyone can watch it live. https://us-courts.webex.com/webappng/sites/us-courts/dashboard/pmr/haleI will admit that it is kind of painful. WLP is his own worst enemy when it comes to testifying. The judge and his own attorneys have repeatedly had to tell him just to answer the question and not go off on tangents.

I get wining and dining and politics.
The problem is why they were not up front about such expenses.
Proly because they used such for more personal than political.
Throw the mofos out.

Is this a surprise to anyone?
Lapierre is as dirty as any other politician and one of the reasons I don't waist money on the NRA.
This may get me booed by others on this forum but what has the NRA done for us?

As chief engineer my father had to give a speech every year on "the company yacht".
I asked, "Dad, what a company yacht?"
"Just some %&@! tax break!"

This situation has been very disappointing. He had to know that he would get caught at some point. To take the position as our #1 2nd Amendment advocate, and then squander our funds is inexcusable. Shame on him and the organization.

Not an excuse but - "that's Washington".
If there was a way to actually see evil, as in real Biblical level evil, there would be a noxious cloud enveloping Washington, D.C. thicker than just about anywhere else on the planet.
D.C. - ostensibly "District of Columbia" but it should stand for "Den of Corruption".
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

WLP betrayed millions of people over the years. I hope he frys for that. Not one cent from me until he and his regime are gone and the power is given back to the board to insure this never happens again. We really need the NRA but ONLY with honest leadership. I know that is a lot to ask.......................................................
