AG James announcement MAY be about the NRA involvment in GOP

Just throwing this in the mix.
Not sure what AG James has to do with NRA, but not impossible to believe it flows through NY channels somehow.

I'm hoping it is the Trump Crime Family, but the Kremlin/GOP matter would be welcome as well.
Nonetheless, it's all mob connected & Trump's in it somewhere.

Soon...soon.

“NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York’s financial regulator on Wednesday filed civil charges accusing the National Rifle Association of offering insurance to its members without a license and concealing how it routinely kept some of their premiums for itself.“

4. Maybe the investigation has multiple "legs"?

So the financial regulator goes after the NRA for how it misused funds and screwed over its members, and the AG is looking at bigger fish, like how Russia funneled money to the NRA which it turned around and donated to the Trump campaign? Maybe we'll finally get to hear something about Alfa Bank, after all these years of mystery.

Just pure speculation.

The plot thickens & with GOP/Russia connections, it seems a bottomless well doesn't it.

5. The NRA is a New York registered company

and she announced an investigation of them about a year ago so this could very well be about them.

10. I'd expect announcements about Trump and cronies to come from Vance.

This being about the NRA makes sense. And it'll be serious, or they would just make a press release.

12. That makes sense about Cy Vance.

Kinda bugs me that he ended up with the Trump financials case. He did let the Trump kids off scott free in a previous case & that makes him suspicious in handling of such a damning case as Trump/Deutsch .

I wish it were someone other than Vance.

13. He Was Doing A Damn Poor Job Up Until The Last Election

he ran unopposed but there was a campaign for people to write in a different candidate. Many, many NYers fed up with him. It wasn't just the trumps, it was weinstein, strauss-kahn and a lot of other cases.

15. Yes! All those others too. This is why it makes me sick that Vance is handling the Deutsch case

Dammit.

Vance is corrupt.

Here's the shit on Cy Vance..

FBI looking at Manhattan district attorney's office over potential undue influence in handling of cases: sources
The Manhattan Democratic DA failed to bring criminal charges against two of President Trump’s children in an alleged real estate scam. DA Cy Vance, Jr. is the son of the late former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance under Jimmy Carter.

I hope he has a challenger the next time around. I was really incensed when he didn't believe the maid and let Strauss-Kahn go because he was so well connected and then the French arrested him for running a global prostitiion ring.
