Good to know they're still working on that! And "authoritarian expert" Sarah Kendzior said the NRA should have filed FARA forms.

The special counsel's team was curious to learn more about how Donald Trump and his operatives first formed a relationship with the NRA and how Trump wound up speaking at the group's annual meeting in 2015, just months before announcing his presidential bid, Nunberg said.
Nunberg's interview with Mueller's team in February 2018 offers the first indication that the special counsel has been probing the Trump campaign's ties to the powerful gun-rights group. As recently as about a month ago, Mueller's investigators were still raising questions about the relationship between the campaign and the gun group, CNN has learned.

Authoritarian expert Sarah Kendzior called the NRA and Republicans general pathetic for being duped.
Its a pretty pathetic look for the NRA and the Republicans that they are, on the one hand, this easily manipulated, but also complicit, Kendzior said. There are voluntary participants in this. They are people who will be indicted themselves for failing to register as foreign agents.
The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee has already asked the NRA to turn over key documents.
Former NRA President Wayne Lapierre resigned his position before the stories began to break about the NRAs connections to Russia.
