Lawmakers launch new probe into 'complex web' of alleged ties between NRA, Russians

A pair of House Democrats are launching a new probe of what they called the “complex web of relationships” between members of the National Rifle Association and Russian individuals with close ties to the Kremlin.

In a letter members said they were sending to NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, a copy of which was shared with ABC News, Rep. Ted Lieu of California and Rep. Kathleen Rice of New York expressed concern about the NRA’s attempts to distance itself from any formal involvement in a now infamous trip to Moscow undertaken by a group of its high-ranking members.

While the NRA’s outside counsel William Brewer told The New York Times that LaPierre “was opposed to the trip” and even prohibited staff members from joining the delegation out of concern that it would be perceived as officially sanctioned, internal NRA emails and photos posted on social media reviewed by ABC News appear to show the organization was significantly involved in planning it.

People would respect the Democrats more if they worked on actual legislation to govern the nation rather than endless, useless investigations like the Republicans did.

One job of Congress is oversight and you will be getting a plateful of that. Its been absent for 2 long years. It will be interesting to learn just where the money came from that the NRA donated to the republican election campaign.

Sometimes a Rolled Up News paper won't do ... sometimes you need to stick their nose in it.

Oversight refers to review of governmental agencies and programs--not private organizations.

That is not constructive governing--it is attempting to punish those on the other side. Sticking their nose in it accomplishes nothing but a justification for them to do the same.

Is there a crime here? WTF are they investigating?

I Stopped expecting that on "YOU-LIE"; "We're not going to work with this President"; "Our Goal id to make him a 1 term President" and "Merrick Garland" ... you know Birth Certificates, Grades and Wife and Children attacking ... and let's just stay silent about the racism.

... personally, I don't turn the other cheek ... I prefer to put my Foot in it.

Maybe the other side will turn the other cheek ... ever ask them?
