There is an article out today about how Russia might have funnelled money into the 2016 campaign through the NRA. It's illegal for foreign entities to contribute to candidates. I'm less certain this applies to independent groups like the NRA, but I am ignorant of the minutiae of campaign finance law.
Jon Chait points out that if the Mueller probe is really going after the NRA, this will double or triple the pressure on Republicans in Congress to abandon any protection for Mueller. Republicans might feel (wrongly) that they can divorce themselves from Trump at some future point. They are permanently wedded to the NRA.
