Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, speaks during CPAC at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando on Sunday, February 28, 2021.
This isn’t a sentence we get to type often, but here goes: The truth is catching up to the National Rifle Association and its boss Wayne LaPierre as they attempt to evade accountability yet again.
The welcome development came a week ago when, in an exceedingly rare move, an official with the U.S. Department of Justice Trustee’s office — the federal agency charged with keeping the nation’s bankruptcy courts on the level — sided in court with New York Attorney General Tish James and creditors looking to dismiss the NRA’s bankruptcy filing. Lisa Lambert, a lawyer with the office, agreed with James’s central claims, stating that the record “clearly and convincingly establishes” that the association’s leadership has been negligent, and that the filing is a transparent dodge sidestep consequences for self-dealing and other egregious violations of trust valiantly pressed here in state courts.
