It doesn't have to be Trump since he is sitting president, but man if it could get into his family

Robert DeNault...
”Unclear what this is about, but strange it comes within 1 hour of NYT dropping a major story that Manhattan DA subpoenaed/obtained Trump’s Deutsche Bank records, and weeks after New York DFS fined the same division of Deutsche for work with Epstein. Is this related? Stay tuned.”
”Should reiterate—we have no clue if this is Trump-related. AG James could be announcing a number of things tomorrow that might qualify as national and urgent (elections, census, etc).
Still, to announce this within 1 hour of this NYT story and have it be unrelated would be odd.”

“I keep seeing rather ridiculous speculation about the announcement the New York Attorney General is making tomorrow.
As I said, it’s not related to the president or his family.
Per three sources familiar with the announcement, it’s related to the NRA“
Well rats.

There are rumors its about the Census - a bunch of AGs suing to stop the early shutdown of census counting/analysis.

I'm good with it being related to the NRA.

I haven’t watched the press conference yet for the full story, but my gut reaction is that this is not going to be helpful right now. I don’t doubt any of the allegations are true and would like to see the NRA sent to the ash heap of history using our VP’s favorite catch phrase 😉 but I think this is only going to give the GOP new ammunition to rile up the base heading into the election. And give Trump something new to use as a distraction from the urgent problems facing our country right now.

NPR..
”JUST IN: The New York attorney general is seeking to dissolve the NRA.
It’s the most aggressive sanction the state could seek against the powerful gun-rights group after an investigation found evidence that the NRA is “fraught with fraud and abuse.”
You could be right. trump will say this is an assault on the 2nd Amendment.

The 'important announcement pending' announcement made it sound like there was some super-duper new evidence about a CRIME that just came to light... THIS is not what I was expecting. And yeah- it doesn't bode well for the election at ALL, if this is what happens.

I was hoping it was the first man indicted after ghislaine maxwell. I’m not sure how a state can disband a group. Anti-climatic for me.

Really, all lobbyists should be a thing of the past. NRA gives out obscene amounts, or they used to do so. Now it sounds like it was used only by a chosen few. In the past membership dues were split, $3.50 towards the magazije, rest towards lobbying. Look up your senators and congressmen records to see the amounts they received. Boggling!

Charlie Pierce makes me feel a bit better- mainly for his biting wit and snark, but also, because of this quote, from his piece about the lawsuit, from Esquire.com: "First of all, Letitia James has demonstrated that she’s a big-game hunter. Second, this news eclipsed the other news out of NYC on Wednesday—that Deutsche Bank “complied” with the subpoenas issued by Manhattan DA for the president*’s financial records. Third, and this is a bit of a stretch, but there is evidence the NRA was a conduit for Russian money headed to Republican political campaigns prior to the 2016 election. Mutual interests, don’t you know?"
