Enough already. :mad5

Bill Brewer demanded immediate payment of over $20 million in fees to his firm (the immediacy indicating he suspects the reformers have the backing of most of the board for its Monday meeting. It was announced that each director would have a whole 3 minutes to speak (on a matter of $20 million!), but a bunch gave their time to former president Jim Porter, a *real* trial attorney, who lit up Brewer with a flamethrower, showing how he’d cost NRA $200 million, while losing nearly everything his firm handled. Three cheers for Porter (and two for the directors who gave him their time, and realized what good move this was. Three minutes was meant to insure that nobody had time enough to raise a serious objection, but give a lot of time to a real trial attorney and his target isn’t going to be sitting down for a month. (After a reaming like that, he isn’t going to have problems with hemorrhoids or constipation, either).

Rumor is that NRA is nearly insolvent, perhaps will not survive until the next board meeting. This time it will be a real bankruptcy, when it cannot meet payroll, and the Whittington Center will be first item on the auction block, followed by the National Firearms Museum’s collections.

Mostly good news ...

WLP was replaced by a reformer...
Only major position not won by a reformer seems to be Pres.

Maybe we can right this ship? Fingers crossed.

The first thing any “reformer” needs to take to gain credibility is to fire Brewer and Co.
