5 million dollars is a drop in the bucket for what he spent every year for many years.🧐

[mildol]

How come when you steal millions you get fined. Regular citizens steal $50 goes to jail ❓

[robertkiser]

About time! He has been corrupt for years!

[It.s-just-me]

A soul-less scoundrel who knew where to find his suckers.

[thomasglessner]

2024 is the year that all the crooks are going to be locked up

The NRA was like Trump's Foundation, it was Wayne Lapierre's personal piggy bank.

[ThoughtfulBiped]

Wait a gosh darn minute... money, power, and guns leading to corruption?

[bradkeck]

That’s it? He made that in his sleep. It should’ve been $500 million. So they stop playing games.

[Rabid-Floof]

Everything about American conservativism is a grift.

[anngrubbs]

Now does that really surprise anyone??
SERIOUSLY!!

[One_gruntled_woman]

He must be a graduate of trump university

[wokedragon]

5 million doesn't seem like much for a CEO of a company that hands out 100's of millions of dollars a year

[bradforward]

Stole 64 million, and gets off with 5 mil payback. I'd say that's a Win.

[kirtwedel]

THis on top of all the children's blood on their hands...

[honesttruth]

Stop their corrupt lobbying. Accountability!!

[darkprince]

At some point, y’all are going to have to blame the people who keep giving their money to these grifters!

[redhoward]

Same as every politician and church leader.
