Breitbart by AWR Hawkins11 May 2021

On August 6, 2020, Breitbart News reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a suit in which she sought to dissolve the NRA. Her suit, filed in state court in Manhattan after an 18-month investigation, cited allegations that high-ranking NRA executives diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates, and other questionable expenditures.

James released a statement with her suit, saying, “The NRA’s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets. The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law.”

On January 15, 2021, Reuters announced the NRA was filing bankruptcy in Dallas, describing the move as something that “could help the gun rights group escape a lawsuit by New York’s attorney general seeking its dissolution.”

...diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates, and other questionable expenditures...

Can this be applied to Congress?

the more important part of the story:

On May 11, 2021, Bankruptcy Judge Harlin Hale dismissed the NRA’s filing for chapter 11 reorganization.  The Associated Press quoted Judge Hale saying, “The Court believes the NRA’s purpose in filing bankruptcy is less like a traditional bankruptcy case in which a debtor is faced with financial difficulties or a judgment that it cannot satisfy and more like cases in which courts have found bankruptcy was filed to gain an unfair advantage in litigation or to avoid a regulatory scheme.”

Apparently the only ones above the law have a (D) after their names.
