An NRA board member says the board wasn't told about the bankruptcy plan ahead of time. Says he found out through a text from his daughter on his drive home from work one day. "You could have seen the top of my car blow off with my head," he told me.

The board member's name is Phillip Journey and he's a judge in Kansas. He said NRA lawyers mislead the board and "committed a lie of omission of material facts to the board of directors" which he felt obligated to report to the bankruptcy court. freebeacon.com/guns/nra-board…
Journey told the court of the misleading omissions in his recent filing asking it to appoint an independent examiner to go through the NRA's finances. The NRA board is holding an emergency meeting this Sunday in Dallas to discuss the bankruptcy situation.
It's likely NRA leadership will request formal approval of their bankruptcy strategy. While multiple sources tell me it's more than just Journey who is upset with the situation, it's not clear how many of the 76 board members will go against the leadership.
Even if a significant number of board members do go against NRA leadership, unless they reach a majority it's unlikely there will be a public count of those who opposed the bankruptcy gambit.
Bill Brewer, NRA outside counsel and one of the people Journey accuses of misleading the board, said Journey is mistaken about board approval of the bankruptcy. "This plan was undertaken in full compliance with NRA policy," he said.
