I don’t get your point. A non profit possibly had a corrupt CEO. Does that mean the non profit is bad?

They asked the NRA for comment, and the NRA didn't even deny the documents are legit.

From the article:

“It is troubling and pathetic that some people would resort to leaking information to advance their agendas,” she added.
