As for Pam Bondi, every person has their price, but why on earth would you advertise to the entire world that you're flying off the shelf for the low, low price of $25K?
Non-profits aren't prohibited from raking in the cash. In theory, they're then supposed to spend all of those sweet sweet earnings on whatever their mission statement claims to be.
These grifters used to provide safety and shooting lessons and whatever else non-heinous things they promised. As I recall back in the dark ages it was an actual thing. Then someone noticed it was a lot more profitable to jump on the GOP gravy train and rake in cash from manufacturers and send out tons of notices to anyone who might be interested in a vague way that they need to donate to the NRA or the pinkos were coming to take your gun from your cold dead hands and it all rapidly went downhill from there. This all coincided with the rise of Mr La Pierre and that was just a coincidence.
Until 1977, the NRA was a sane gun-safety and marksmanship-for-defense organization. They helped the feds write the laws that still prevent most people from owning an M60 machine gun, Tommy gun, or bazooka.
But an organized cabal of 2nd-amendment absolutists staged an overnight "coup" at the 1977 NRA national convention, by showing up en masse and voting their own candidates into virtually every office. Within a year, the National Rifleman, until then an anodyne publication, began on the lying propaganda that has characterized it ever since.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tish James at the inauguration of my member of the City Council, Carlina Rivera. Very fine women. One did not have to be a donor to attend the inaugural or the party after, just a constituent. One can tell they're Democrats.

ME, OK?? What's it to ya??? I was both dancing, and, ummm... Y'know...

Yes, it did have a nonprofit mission at one point . . . but like you say, the money just took over . . .

I was totally expecting a rebel flag in the background behind Boni.
