NRA Subpoenas Oliver North, Its Ex-President

[Zorro]

The National Rifle Association’s already-toxic legal fight has gotten nastier, somehow, as the powerful gun-rights group has subpoenaed its ex-president.

Previously unreported court documents show the group served a subpoena on Oliver North late last month. It also subpoenaed Lance Olson and Daniel Boren, according to the documents; all three men are members of the NRA’s own board.

The subpoena asks for a number of documents from North: anything sent from April 10 to May 22 regarding people who work for the NRA’s longtime ad firm, Ackerman McQueen; any communications sent over the NRA’s contentious Indianapolis convention about CEO Wayne LaPierre or Ackerman McQueen; documents about the NRA’s expenditures; documents about North’s expenses; and communications about leaks.

The subpoena points to the friction between the NRA and its former president and highlights the extent to which the fight roiling the organization is focused on money and media. It specifically demands communications “related to a ‘leak’ or dissemination of previously non-public documents or information,” and cites stories from the Washington Free Beacon and The Daily Beast. The NRA previously alleged that the ad firm leaked confidential information to media outlets as part of an effort to damage senior officials in the NRA.

1. Any organization that elects Ollie North Prez, deserves chit. But it could have been Ted Nugent, or

any of several other white wing and racist board members.

2. Sounds like the NRA is...

riddled with embezzlement and self-dealing. Is anyone surprised? Does their membership even have a clue?

3. No they can get a hat or a gym bag

but no coffee for the HQ staff

4. They should just schedule a series of duels

to show their machismo and demonstrate their product line in a live broadcast to the last man standing. Darwin them out of business.

6. Say it with me Ollie

"I do not recall."

How wonderful would it be if he pulled the same shit with the douchebag NRA?

7. Ha ha. Tell them to eat a hot bowl of dicks, Ollie.

We don't need to respond to subpoenas anymore. At least, that's what I'm learning from the Republican Party. It's a great time to be alive in America.
