Is this what you want me to respond to? ot one question in the screed.
I guess I hurt Paul’s feelings. I wasn’t going to put another quarter is his wayback machine, for another round of fractured fairy tails. As I see it his chest thumping about legalized weed, and how all the small growers were going to get rich…. Legally.
Well, that’s not what the wind is blowing in. It’s pretty clear that the “big bucks” are going to be making the big bucks.
Dope sales was to come out of the shadows. According to the local fish wrap (sorry pal),,there isn’t going to be any. Save for MMJ,, and The Union even paved the way to the Dr.’s door to get a “recommendation”.And the price even! Right back into the shadows where sales was to start with.
Dust off the prohibition “git aroun da law” book once again. This time it’s dope and not booze.( for medicinal use ONLY…..right)

Separate question related to todays news. In response to you’re 11:40 I have to say that the purpose to the appointment of Mueller as special council is to investigate what “measurable or even reasonably feasible interference in our 2016 elections can be laid on the Russians? ” as you put it. When you have an admission to lying to FBI investigators about contact with the Russians it asks the question what is the reason for the lie.
Keep in mind Mueller’s admitted lie was while he was Security Chief as appointed by Trump so that was essentially “work product” as an employee of this country not as a private individual.
George, you worked in high security situations so you of all people should appreciate the seriousness of lying to the FBI. Is it not a safe assumption that it was not for a trivial purpose that he lied unless he’s really stupid which I doubt.

An expansion of my 3:18 is to ask the question: Did anyone instruct Flynn to lie and who would that be? The bigger fish in this situation would be Kushner or Trump himself with Sessions lurking in the shadows. That’s likely why Sessions bailed and got out of the investigation which intimately led to Mueller being appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein .

Walt – Medical weed and its derivatives has been sold legally in Nevada City for at least 3 years. There simply hasn’t been a storefront. You can buy medical weed LEGALLY (under California statute and county code) as easily as ordering a Dominoes pizza and it will be delivered to your door. Google “marijuana delivery Nevada County” and select your preferred provider. If I checked in here more often I might understand the posturing by all those on both sides of the issue, but the fact is the cows are out of the barn and they aren’t looking back. 1st of the year it will be legal to buy recreation pot via courier in Nevada City/Grass Valley. It won’t be long before the storefront will be open for rec sales also. I guarantee it.

Honestly, Paul Emery and RobertC have no idea what they are talking about. Flynn pleaded guilty to something that was legal and his lying about that legality was so stupid it must hurt his ass. Anyway, even if the Trump people talked to the Rooskies during the campaign it was not an illegal act. And now we know Flynn talked to the Russian Ambassador during the transition which is totally legal. My goodness the two libnuts creaming their jeans that Trump will be going down is just too funny. And RovertC, who cares what you think anyway. If what you say happens, you really think what we here say matters to anyone else? But thanks anyway, I take that as a compliment.

Kinda weird that the FBI Director Comney already testified in a closed session of the Congress (while still FBI Director) about the very issue Flynn has is going to plead guilty to…one count of lying to the FBI. When asked about his investigation of Flynn, Comney told the committee that he did not believe Flynn intentionally lied, rather he was confused and confused about times and dates and places. Comney for that reason did not bring prosecution. Flynn said it was on a Tuesday, when it really was on a Thursday!! Known as a procedural crime in Justice Department circles. Comney saw it one way, Mueller sees it another.
Kinda weird that Flynn pleaded guilty to lying about a post election meeting that was perfectly legal, not even a misdemeanor or crime or treason or anything wrong. But, but, but, Flynn met with the Russian Ambassador. So what. No foul there. I would hope ANY President elect would met or contact or send messages to every forgein .eader under the sun. Best to hit the ground running one hour after the Inauguration. Heck, the Obama Campaign made contacts with the Iranian Mullahs before he was even won the election. Nothing to see here.
But, but,but Flynn did not notifiy Big Brother of the meeting. So what. Ain’t required to.
But, but, but, Flynn violated the Logan Act. No he didn’t. The Logan Act, of what…1790 something, prohibits private citizens from conducting foreign policy. Flynn was the representative of the legally elected President of the US at the time as the President-elect was assembling his administration. Was not acting as a private citizen.
But, but. but, Trump (Flynn) interfered with Obama Administration and U.N. policy. No he didn’t. Flynn told the Russians that Trump totally opposes the unconscionable U.N. Resolution condemning Israel and his administration will be taking a completely different course with Israel and will do everything they can do to have the U.N. Resolution rewritten, repealed, or ripped to shreds. A heads up to all. Come late Jan, 2017 things are going to be different. Not I terferri g with the then current forgein policy of Obama.
But, but, but…… Bottomline; with our eavesdropping, spying, and countless high tech surveillance capabilities, we know, Mueller knows, the entire Deep State knows exactly what Flynn said the the Russian Ambassador and what the Rooskie said to Flynn. Flynn was NOT charged with conspiracy, collusion, or anything to do with Trump conspiring with them dirty no good former Soviet KBG agents to affect the election results of a US election. Mueller got nothing from Flynn. Mueler found nothing there. Otherwise Flynn would have beeen indicted for breaking some law about colluding with the Rooskies.
So, at this point, let’s see what we got. We got Manafort charged with one count of lying to the FBI over something that happened years before the Trump Campaign even existed. We got some guy named George with a funny last name being indicted on some money charge, without any charge of tax invasion. A Treasury Department violation, crime. We got Flynn pleading guilty to one count of lying to the FBI concerning an event that happened after the 2016 election was over…and perfectly legal to attend.
But, but, but….we need to know who sent Flynn to talk to the dirty rotten Russian Ambassado in January, 2017, a couple of months are the 2016 election results were tallied. Do you really need to know. If it was ztrumo who directed the setting, that is no crime.
Things could change, but the Libbies are trying to catch the wind. But, then again, hope burns eternal…unless you are pa 4-Star General namer Michael Flyn. Flynn is a broken man, no hope. Broke, financially flat broke, now has to sell his house, his wife and family cannot take it anymore, and Mueller is going after Flynn’s son. Mueller broke him, just as Mueller sent the goons to swoop down on Manafort’s pad in a predawn raid to have some fun, drew guns on the startled Mrs. Manafort in her night gown, shouting at her to get down in the floor with multiple guns pointed at her head. Wonder if they broke Mrs. Manafort yet.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The Intolerant Left are trying to catch the wind.
