So the big question is: Why is Wayne LaPierre still controlling the NRA?
From the start, "James’s hatred of the NRA, and her political ambitions, and conclude that the whole case is just trumped-up lies and political theater." It is my opinion that this blinded her to the what would be the most winnable case.
By taking a scatter gun shot at the NRA et al, AG James exposed her political bias in court, and caused the judge in the case to take "the dissolution of the Association off the table as a potential punishment, should she win." This forced her to regroup her efforts.
Her latest Amended Complaint focuses less on the NRA as a target, and more on the officers and directors – as it should – with the complaint calling for severe financial penalties and restitution payments from the Association’s wayward “leaders.” The complaint calls for the removal of LaPierre and his followers, but only as part of the penalty phase of the trial. That isn’t going to happen until sometime next year.
As anyone who is following this might guess, Wayne LaPierre has admitted to many of the charges State AG Letitia James and her office has brought recently. Since he has, why hasn't he been forced to step down for the good of the NRA?
New NRA Leadership ~ LTC Allen West?
Easier said than done.

Good question. I Hope LTC Allen West and the other elected leadership can get the control needed to quit bleeding money in defense of the current directors. As a Life Member, I have refused to send any more money to the NRA over the past number of years.

Major, I too am a Life Member and I respectfully disagree. As I said in my reply to the original post:
"LaPierre paid the NRA back over $300K for inappropriately using expense reports. Further, he personnaly signed the NRA 2021 Tax Return which is a big deal because NORMALLY, the NRA (and other organizations') returns are signed by a group's TREASURER. Why is that a big deal? To prove and convince the powere that be, that by signing, HE literally would expose himself to perjury if the retrun were proven as false, which of course, it won't be as he is no fool."

That NY AG is not working for the "people," but for the anti-gun lobby in New York. LaPierre paid the NRA back over $300K for inappropriately using expense reports. Further, he personnaly signed the NRA 2021 Tax Return which is a big deal because NORMALLY, the NRA (and other organizations') returns are signed by a group's TREASURER. Why is that a big deal?

WLP needs to step down, regardless of what he may have paid back, because, under his leadership, the NRA has hemorrhaged members and been a lightning rod for legal actions. There have been a LOT of shady deals that haven't turned out well, and until they get their shit together, they aren't getting another dime from me.
