Looking sharp while making daily speeches does not require a large or high end wardrobe. Not at all.
$24 MM in legal fees this past year? This is getting very interesting:
Leaked Documents: NRA Racked Up $24 Million in Legal Bills
Docs show former president Oliver North warning that legal fees “pose an existential threat to the financial stability of the NRA.”

If one tenth of these allegations are true, I rescind my previous endorsement of LaPierre and call for him to resign. The NRA is too important of an organization to be compromised.
They do too much fund raising to their members. I think they use their membership dues to fund their fundraising activities.
Money corrupts everything.
How to keep social/religious/charitable organizations true to their mission, focused and uncorrupt over the long-term when many $$millions are involved??
There must be some literature on this.
So? Dude's gotta look good. If it's not a regular expense, I got no issue with this.
I just purchased a new Jeep Compass in one day and didn't spend that amount of money..........
I do have a major issue of $39K in clothes and being billed to the NRA............I wouldn't have a problem if he shopped for clothes at Cabela's rather than Barney's of New York.............
The NRA is just like the GOP, in that both of them have been taken over by the wrong people. A bunch of self-serving grifters. Reminds me of the jerk water “churches” with their “suede shoe “pastors!”
One could fly first class to London. Go to Prince Charles' tailor, buy 10 bespoke suits, stay at the Savoy, and spend much less than half that.
“I suspect they were not all for him???”
That’s what I was thinking - it said it was for an advertising thing. Show the happy family out there pheasant hunting in sharp new clothing from Cabbella’s is going to add up.
Although it sounds like they might have expensed some nice shotguns into the “clothing” account.
Just like the Girl Scouts, United Way and so many others.
The top take the money and beg for us to give more.
Member off and on for too many years to count.
Just clipped the above online. If Tom Ford can outfit the latest James Bond he can do ole 'Waynie' quite nicely. It appears the 'der Waynester' is over-billing for his suits and charging the NRA for every piece of clothing he wears all year. I mean.... just some thoughts.
A few lifetimes, I might go through that much in clothes, even accounting for inflation.
39,000 in one day is not a big deal if he bought a lot of suits at once.
You don’t actually believe that do you? 39k, there is no doubt more to this...
If you believe in DJT you must also by now know that wait another day, everything can change.
My bad.... that was an old piece of information.... Tom Ford suits run about 5 grand. Still, I don’t see why a half dozen wouldn’t be luxurious and last for years.
A very nice Brooks Brothers 3 pice suit, which is more than good enough for anyone, might be $1000. How many suits would he be buying at a time? Does he need more than 5 in a year? It is grotesquely wasteful. He is taking money donated to the NRA to defend the second amendment and vainly spending it on clothes. It is disgusting, and I’m shocked anyone would defend it. People defending individual rights and responsibilities should probably dress themselves.
I agree. I think our board has some patsies, but there’s also a lot more very serious people on the board and I trust they know more and there’s a reasonable explanation. I’ll wait for it. If his security expenses are included in the cost of X, that could be a big number, especially on the left coast.
Goodell does not continuously hit me up for donations on top of membership cost.
A man who thinks before he reacts. Rare these days.
