Audio obtained by The Trace and ProPublica reveals, in real time, the #gun lobbying group enacting a plan that would conceal payments for fancy #hotels, limousines and other luxury expenses connected to its longtime CEO for a decade.

Wayne LaPierre had become the NRA's leader
But of a civil trial, he was now a reader
His resignation passing days before
A strong statement this did implore
His leadership of the gun rights group was no longer requited
The way forward for the NRA would now be re-sighted
