This must have caused Trump to choke on his Turkey yesterday.
From Fox News
THE LEAD STORY: Lawyers for Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, have informed Trump’s legal team that they can no longer discuss Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian activities during the 2016 election campaign, The New York Times reported Thursday. The move could indicate that Flynn’s legal team either is cooperating with Mueller’s investigators or is negotiating to do so.
Manafort took 18 trips to Moscow, met with Putin allies, prior to running Trump campaign: report

Looks like Sally Yates was right about Flynn. From Fox News
“A former senior U.S. law enforcement figure said on Monday she warned President Donald Trump’s White House in January about then-national security adviser Michael Flynn because she feared he could have been open to blackmail by Russia.
Sally Yates, who was briefly the acting U.S. attorney general earlier this year, told White House counsel Don McGahn on Jan. 26 that Flynn had not been telling the truth about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to Washington.”

Here’s one of the big things on Flkynn.
Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Mueller’s investigation is examining a scheme Flynn allegedly proposed to kidnap Muslim cleric c, an avowed enemy of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, from the U.S. and return him to Turkey. The plan would have seen Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., paid $15 million, people with knowledge of the discussions said.
If Flynn was approached by the Turkish with that deal he will be guilty of failing to report a felony-kidnapping an American Resident. Let alone if he approached the Turks about doig it. Kidnapping an American resident is a felony right Todd?

Kind of hard to say Walt. Yes small cultivators are going to have to compete for the market and that could be difficult but there are many specialty markets that need to be filled especially for medical products that will be best served by small producers. Certainly the good ole days of $4000 pounds are gone. There was hope among some cultivators that AG Sessions would attempt some kind of crackdown on State programs that would keep prices up but no luck so far on that. If the Feds do intervene it will drive out Big Agra leaving it to small growers. Many growers just want a chance to be part of the regulated legal market and are willing to give it a go.
MJ Cultivation is our (Nevada county) largest cash importer and I’m disappointed that you are so unaware of the effects on the local economy. Makes me think you don’t get around much in town and talk to local merchants and business folks.
Hopefully the County is going to proceed in a responsible manner and approve reasonable regulations but I’m not convinced they will. We’ll see.

If it is shown that he was soliciting to kidnap for cash an American resident he’ll be toast and will open up the whole Russia thing in the hope he might someday be able to walk as a free man.
there are scores of undisclosed (under oath) contacts with the Russians that have come out from Trumps staff , family and business associates . Here’s just a few examples. The business one is interesting. Mueller is following the money. Where have we heard that before?
July 27, 2016
“I can tell you I think if I came up with that they’d say, ‘Oh, it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s ridiculous,’” Trump told a Miami-based CBS affiliate when asked about the idea that Russians were trying to help him get elected. “I mean I have nothing to do with Russia. I don’t have any jobs in Russia. I’m all over the world but we’re not involved in Russia.”
October 24, 2016
Trump told a rally in Florida that he had “nothing to do with Russia, folks. I’ll give you a written statement.”
November 11, 2016
In a statement responding to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov’s interview with Interfax that “there were contacts” with Trump’s team, campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks said, “It never happened. There was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign.”
May 11, 2017
Trump asserted he had “nothing to do with Russia” during his famous interview with NBC’s Lester Holt.
“I have had dealings over the years where I sold a house to a very wealthy Russian many years ago. I had the Miss Universe pageant — which I owned for quite a while — I had it in Moscow a long time ago. But other than that, I have nothing to do with Russia,” Trump said.
these are just a few examplew that come to mind. No need to go into the contacts with the Trumplet Kushner. Quite a list

Another uppity black woman shown the door by her white masters:
“Thus, Denise Young, Apple’s former diversity chief, was recently obliged to step down after just six months on the job. “There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room,” she had dared to say, “and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation.” For “diversity is the human experience,” and as such, should not be “tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT.” Since most Americans are now as stupid as they are wicked, these accurate words naturally prompted a furor, which was not mitigated by the fact that Young is a black woman. Like National Review, which fired the politically incorrect John Derbyshire, Apple is gutless and all about lucre.”

[My goodness. I can’t believe Trump said this
“As far as hacking, I think it was Russia, but I think we also get hacked by other countries and other people,” Trump said. He also embraced the idea that Russia would want to help him.
“If Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset and not a liability,” he said.”
He considers it an asset that because it was helping him it was ok for the Russians to interfere with an American election. Unbelievable but true.]

“This latest Trump hookers pissing on the bed the Obama’s slept on is great! I hope it goes on and on. I love it. Shows how unhinged the libs, the lib press, and the entire Lib Establishment have become. Welcome to my parlor said the spider to the fly.
After this, will the libs have any credibility left? This is their Waterloo, not their Watergate.
Remember the “we cried wolf until a real wolf appeared” warning from Bill Mayer and others last fall? When the next wolf appears, nobody will believe them. Love it.
Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed a slight nuance in The Question the Alt-Media-Left is trying to explain. They are not asking how Trump could have ever beaten Clinton. Nay, they are beginning to ask how Trump could have ever beaten Obama.
