Exclusive: NRA hires former video game executive as top lobbying lawyer

The NRA has tapped Wade Callender, the former general counsel for Gearbox Software LLC, to replace David Lehman, who had served as deputy executive director and general counsel for the NRA's lobbying arm, two sources told CNN. Lehman recently resigned from the organization amid a series of staff shakeups that have roiled the NRA.The former Gearbox employee previously worked as a trial attorney in Maryland and served as a judge advocate with the Navy, according to his LinkedIn page.

At a time when the NRA is under serious legal and financial pressure, Callender brings along his own messy legal baggage.He departed Gearbox on sour terms. Ever since, he and Gearbox CEO Randall Pitchford II have been trading jaw-dropping accusations in lawsuits.The lawsuit against Callender accuses him of using Gearbox as his personal piggy bank and lending agency.

How convenient

You gotta wonder, of all the people they could have picked with no baggage, lawsuits or credibility problems they went for this guy....clearly the NRA is suffering from some corporate lack of judgment.

Let me guess, did the guy work for EA?
