The Maria Butina scandal continues to grow in Milwaukee County, where it has been revealed that former Sheriff David Clarkes 2015 trip to Russia was sponsored in part by the gun rights group funded by the alleged Kremlin agent herself.
County financial disclosure documents obtained by the FOX6 local news channel show that Right to Bear Arms, Butinas organization which touts aims mimicking those of the NRA, footed a $6,000 bill for lodgings, food and transportation.
The breakdown is as follows:
$3,000 for a hotel
$1,2000 for meals, which averaged out to $200 each day
$1,000 for transportation with an additional $800 spent on excursions
The NRA covered the rest of the $40,000 in charges racked up on the 16-day trip, which included a visit to Israel.
While abroad, Clarke tweeted a photo of himself standing beside a Russian officer, adding, Met earlier with a Russian Foreign Minister who spoke on Mid East.

(13,595 posts)So, who are the members of this russian "gun rights group?" Let me guess. "It's a secret" (i.e., there are none.) The fact is, there is no such thing as a russian "gun rights group" and there is no "gun rights" movement in russia.
