Thankfully criminal masterminds are few and far between.

Nothing helps establish mens rea for the charge like asking if the dealer is a cop. What a dummy.

Yep…
The old “if I axe you if you’re a cop you got to tell me ” fallacy. Too episodes of Power Book and BMF.

Is the name on the payee line of that check “Freedom la Dope”?

Someone else noticed the similarities.

Note: The idea Lucas is involved with weed isn’t the problem. I love my weed. And distilling alcohol in my family is a tradition. My grandfather spent time in jail for moon shining in the 30’s.

While uncommon these “matriarchs” of crime families exist. There was one here in Southern Ohio who ordered a hit on our son’s ex-wife due to a child-custody dispute (The Rhoden Family). They operated one of the biggest weed farms in the state and had their hands all sorts of business. She along with several others in her family were convicted by a jury (one more had a trial pending). I think Dateline did a story on this.

Dumb post is dumb. Do some research bud - recreational sales have never been legal in VA. That opens up in 2027. Right now, possession and grow-your-own is legal OR medical facilities.

Her businesses were not medical, AND she was using her position of power to influence where the limited number of recreational licenses would eventually go (to her business partners...to enrich herself).

ALSO - this investigation started under the Biden DOJ. So again - swing and a miss. Be better.

Innocent until proven guilty says the Constitution , but many have already convicted based on the indictment. The Trump DOJ is great at getting indictments for political foes. How many convictions though? Doesnt matter who started the investigation the indictment is brought by this admin. I am not saying she is guilty or not but the timing is sure suspect.

The culmination of a years-long investigation, released right before midterms, is certainly suspect. Why, that sounds like something the left would do. Imagine that. You losers hate having your own playbook used against you. Except now our government is taking down criminals who deserve punishment.

Yikes! That's quite a story. A little too close to home.

I just saw the typo, I think my phone autocorrected. It is not my son’s ex-wife, it was their son’s ex-wife.

And I'm a real life great grandfather. Twice. So what?
