NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday called on the Justice Department to investigate the National Rifle Association for bankruptcy fraud, saying the financially stable gun-rights group abused the system when it sought bankruptcy protection in the wake of a New York lawsuit seeking to put it out of business.
A judge rejected the NRA's bankruptcy case in May, ruling the nonprofit organization had not acted in good faith. NRA leaders made clear that the organization was “in its strongest financial condition in years” and was seeking bankruptcy protection so it could changes its state of incorporation from New York to gun-friendly Texas.
Schumer, a New York Democrat, said the NRA's continued heavy spending on advertising criticizing proposed gun control measures and the nomination of gun control lobbyist David Chipman to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives are further evidence that its bankruptcy filing was inspired by legal, not financial, concerns.
“They recently told the judicial branch of government that they are bankrupt after the lawsuit by Tish James, and at the same time they’re saying they’re bankrupt, they’re spending millions of dollars on ads to stop universal background checks,” Schumer said, referencing New York Attorney General Letitia James. “That demands an investigation by the Justice Department.”
The NRA said it was working on a statement. The Justice Department declined comment.
The organization filed for bankruptcy protection in January, months after James sued the NRA, seeking its dissolution over claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures. That lawsuit is ongoing.

Democrats have the whole system in the palm of their hand.
I want him investigated for claiming to represent the people fraud.
Yep- but not one word about Hunter Biden and the White House negotiating ANONYMOUS half a million dollar payments for crackhead paintings.
And their palms are hairy.
It’s not wrong if they are corrupt. Ask them. Indeed, it’s wrong for us to express views that they’re corrupt. Just look at these turds going after people objecting to the stolen election.
Of course he does…

And they know the feds can spend all the money they want to totally destroy the NRA. The feds have an unlimited amount of funds because they can print the money.
Aren’t there more important things for you to be doing, Schmucky?
Are we a banana republic?
...and they know they are in big trouble once Arizona voting breaks, and they are found out to have stolen the Congress, Senate and White House
And they know they have a favorable rating of an anal boil. Schmucks doesn’t have the luxery or the time to go after them. Its for fundraising. His popularity in his own party of going after the NRA isn’t going to fly with the red states they stole the election from, especially with the rising crime rates and defunding cops they caused and even higher rising gun purchases.

Why is he doing this on Sunday when everything is closed?
He is not working on Sunday.
But he has people working for him on Sunday.
This is a special level of evil.
We are neither a "banana", nor are we a "republic"...
I want Chuckie Schumer investigated if he’s an American! 😀
There needs to be a replacement for the NRA.
Schumer knows about Fraud Projection.
He’s a Master.
“The Delaware General Corporation Law (Title 8, Chapter 1 of the Delaware Code) is the statute governing corporate law in the U.S. state of Delaware. Adopted in 1899, the statute has since the early 20th century made Delaware the most important jurisdiction in United States corporate law. Over half of publicly traded corporations listed in the New York Stock Exchange (including its owner, Intercontinental Exchange) and 66% of the Fortune 500 are incorporated (and therefore domiciled) in the state.”

I would happily pay $1 to buy a DVD copy of the NRA membership list.
I would happily sell a DVD copy that list to a Texas-based organization committed to fighting to protect Second Amendment rights for $1.
