So is Mulehead saying that the NRA has to check citizenship before accepting donations?

I wonder if he’ll apply the same scrutiny to the Clinton Foundation...

[Steve Van Doorn]

"if this is true, it’s worse than if Hillary Clinton had won."

Awww no. don't even put thoughts like that in my head.

[rjsimmon]

When is Mueller going to open his investigation into IHOb? The International House of Bolsheviks?

[ltc8k6]

Left out “in”, “in donations”.

[lewislynn]

NRA officials maintain that the organization has not been contacted by the FBI, but legal experts told McClatchy D.C. that it would be “routine” for investigators to access the group’s tax filings through the Internal Revenue Service.

No evidence Muellars grasping at NRA straws. But McClatchy sure is.

3 birds with one stone?
A Russian
The NRA
AND Trump.

McClatchy has got to be orgasmic over this wet dream.

NRA got Russian money.
Trump got NRA money.
SO WHAT?

"Has the criminal mueller ever “gained access to” the tax filings of the criminal clintoon “foundation”?"

WHAT..!!! I'LL DARE YOU TO INSINUATE THAT HILLERY'S FOUNDATION EVER DID ENYTHING WRONG..!! EVER.!!!

She's as clean as her newly wiped computer...

Has the criminal mueller ever “gained access to” the tax filings of the criminal clintoon “foundation”?

I have no doubt that one of the purposes of this action was to provide a complete list of NRA members and donors to Clinton, Obama, and Soros. If they ever regain power, punitive IRS audits of our personal and business returns will soon be the least of our worries.

[LaRueLaDue]

So, how is this even remotely legal, when the NRA is not under a criminal investigation by Mueller?

[Roccus]

That’s OK. It helped me get that $34/year/indiuvidual out there. ;^)

[Steven W.]

this is fusion GPS propaganda...They’re the one (and only ones) pushing the NRA idiocy

Ding! Ding! Ding!

They are the ones with ties to those people.

Now ... why would Clinton paid "opposition research" folks have their Russian ops donating $25 each to the NRA to satisfy this claim / charge?

I actually like the idea that the mule's team surface this info + fraud - it gets to the heart of the attempted coup.

BTW it's getting close to 12:00 PM EST - Judge Sullivan is waiting! ;)

[knighthawk]

23x 2500 = nothing compared to Hillary’s 140 million coming from such people

[HangThemHigh]

Witches are suspected of hiding in the NRA? Who knew.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Is this a legitimate story?

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND collected $21 million in 2016 and the donor names are listed.

So what would Mueller find in other tax returns that is not already public?

A few possibilities above.

[mewzilla]

So Mueller could find this info because he was looking at pre-2019 returns...

[No Socialist]

More than likely it’s a political witch hunt against the NRA, and Trump supporters.

Their probably looking for campaign violators like D’Nesh D’Souza.

Since they know damn well that the whole Russia thing was a hoax and a cover up for the campaign spying by Obama, Hillary, and their cronies.

[hal ogen]

Yes...but, then, why did podesta say she smelled of rotten cabbage and farts? I am sooooo confused.

[GOPJ]

Legal experts say it’s likely special counsel Robert Mueller secretly gained access to the National Rifle Association’s tax returns as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to a McClatchy report.

ping - thugs use any excuse to attack conservatives....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Nice catch--fully responsive to the issue.

For those interested in the NRA's tax returns, it has since 1944 been a non-profit foundation under IRS §501(c)3; as such it files voluminous Forms 990 annually, which are readily seen on GuideStar, etc. Here is the NRA's GuideStar page; click on "Show Forms 990." For example, 2016's return (the most recent yet available) shows the NRA paid Wayne LaPierre $1,422,339.

[Robert A Cook PE]

No, no. Not 2500.00 x 23 people (legall!) to the NRA.

Only 2500.00 TOTAL from 23 DIFFERENT people over 3 years to the NRA.

Compared to 500 MILLIPN to Hillary from the Russians ALONE in just ONE deal in ONE year!
