The Morehead State University School of Agriculture, which had agreed to test the seeds, planted them shortly after. When it came time to harvest in September, it was clear that something was off. Gering wrote an email to MSU Dean Tony Brannon beginning, “FYI—your eyes only,” disclosing that after the shipment had been transported on a permit from Comer’s office, the driver had complained that the shipment smelled overwhelmingly like weed.

When the plant was tested for THC levels, the results confirmed the driver’s sense of smell. “We have hemp seed with a THC content of 1.87 and 2.74%,” Gering wrote in an email to his boss, results which the Beast has confirmed. The legal limit for hemp is 0.3 percent. Anything higher is considered marijuana.

During the following months, a back-and-forth ensued between Caudill Seed, Comer’s office, and MSU about what to do with their pot; retest or destroy seemed to be the two prevailing options. Despite the growing problem, in November, Caudill Seed threw Comer a fundraiser for his gubernatorial campaign, which netted more donation max-outs from the brothers and their family members. In January, another round of testing confirmed the hemp was not up to standard.

Launch an investigation without evidence, confident you'd find some skeletons. Because you and your party all have skeletons, you assume everyone does.

So let's recap:

Kevin McCarthy began the impeachment inquiry unilaterally back in September of last year in hopes of distracting from Trump's legal woes and appeasing the Freedom Caucus and saving his job before the debt ceiling debacle.

Republicans removed him anyway.

The House finally formalized the impeachment inquiry with a vote, predicated on a FD-1023 form (basically a tip to the FBI with accusations of a "bribery" scheme).

All sorts of idiotic claims were made in the meantime: A "mysterious" loan of a few thousand dollars. (It was for a truck.). A reimbursement to Biden's family (completely normal and Comer did the same thing).

Their "star witness" Devin Archer testified that... Biden and Hunter had about ~20 calls over the course of a decade that amounted to "pleasantries" such as "talking about the weather" and Archer himself confirmed they did not discuss business.

But nevermind any of that - remember the FD-1023 form? The bribery scheme?

Turns out, the informant made it all up and was indicted by Trump's own hand-picked prosecutor.

So to save face on one of the most embarrassing legislative efforts in U.S. history, they are going to refer charges to the DOJ on Biden's son for making misleading statements in their testimony. (Note that Hunter Biden cooperated far more than Jim Jordan, the co-lead of the committee ever did with Congressional subpoenas.)

They sent these meaningless, symbolic referrals to the same DOJ.. that is already prosecuting Hunter Biden.

Bravo, Republicans. Bravo.

Finds nothing, send criminal referral to DoJ for nothing, then complain loudly about Biden's DoJ when it doesn't pursue garbage referrals. Plain as day if your aren't in a cult 😂
