NRA's Wayne LaPierre 'shaking in his boots waiting for Mueller to come knocking': Ex-DOJ official

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/07/nras-wayne-lapierre-shaking-boots-waiting-mueller-coming-come-knocking-ex-doj-official/

Two former top Department of Justice officials predicted that Maria Butina was not the only Russian operative to penetrate conservative political organizations with close ties to the Republican Party during a Wednesday panel with MSNBC anchor Katy Tur.

Butina was indicted on Sunday for being an unregistered foreign agent. A crack shot, Butina had a very close relationship with the National Rifle Association.

The indictment could quickly spill over into special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigations of Donald Trump.

“And anyone who was in Paul Erickson’s rolodex, including Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Wayne LaPierre and Scott Walker (R-WI) is right now shaking in his boots waiting for Mueller to come knocking,” Litman explained.

Big Rolodex for a Mueller to shift through.

I hope Butina sings, even the regimes' recent transparent effort, mere hours after the spy was arrested, to hide the dark money flowing into the NRA from Russia willl not deter Mueller.
