RE:The shutdownI think that this actually works in Tinley’s favour. It’s yet another negative shot to Trump’s presidency. As negative light continues to glow on Trump he will be more inclined to do something that improves his odds of getting re-elected, such as legalizing marijuana.
This does technically give Sessions free rein to go after marijuana companies but think about how many there are spread all over the US. If he does decide to make a move it’s going to be against a grower of the plant to make things more dramatic and media friendly. He wouldn’t go after a company like Tinley because it would be a boring headline.
My belief is that he wouldn’t go after ANY marijuana company though, unless he wants Trump to fire him.
