Gruber is now rolling tape from LaPierre's March 23rd deposition, where he cited the NYAG's action to dissolve the NRA or put it into receivership as the reason to file for bankruptcy.
NRA's general counsel John Frazer previously testified that he did not know that he did not know Wayne LaPierre's contract allowed him to file Chapter 11, Gruber notes.
Gruber asks LaPierre about that.
LaPierre: "I don't know what Mr. Frazer understood at that point."
Gruber asks LaPierre about that.

Wayne LaPierre is grilled about his assertion that the NRA can't get a fair shake in NY, where AG James has filed an action to dissolve the group.

Ackerman McQueen's lawyer Mike Gruber points out that the NY court's rulings can be scrutinized with two higher courts.
Gruber asks what "gasoline" means within the context of NRA fundraising.
LaPierre: "I did not use that term 'gasoline' in regard to NRA fundraising. Ackerman McQueen took it out of context."
Gruber asks whether it means fundraising based on a perceived enemy. LaPierre denies.
