Federal agents seized bank statements, tax records and correspondence, and found marijuana during a search at the home of state Sen. Ulysses Currie, according to court documents.

The documents show agents found marijuana and "drug packaging materials" in a bag on a dresser and in other bags on the floor of a room in the house last week.

Currie, 70, is one of the most influential lawmakers in Maryland. The Democrat leads the budget-writing committee that steers state spending.

Party affiliation mentioned in paragraph 18. So predictable.

I wonder if he supports the War on (Some) Drugs™...

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Federal agents seized bank statements, tax records and correspondence, and found marijuana during a search at the home of Republican state Sen. Ulysses Currie, according to court documents.

Same line, edited to how it would read if he were not a RAT.

Where's the party affiliation? Gotta be a Democrat otherwise it would read "Republican Sen. Ulysses Currie"

[Mr. Pumblechook]

Uh oh! Is that Currie? He’ll never be convicted.

[VeniVidiVici]

Gotta be Prince Georges County

Just another non-story for the MSM. Another piece of the whole in the Democrat CULTURE OF CORRUPTION, no?

What's happening to us?

We used to read the articles and comment intelligently.

This is an article about the FBI getting their curiosity up because a request for the installation of a traffic light that had been at first denied, was then approved because of an e-mail that stated it was "very important" to the director.

Now, there is obviously something up, but it isn't reefer and so-called packaging materiels (I sent my son off to work yesterday with some marajuana packaging materiels in his lunch box) ..

There's probably some insider payola going on that the Feds want to know about.

He's black ... this will be another facet in the coming race war ... we're being baited, folks.

Has Obama’s house been checked since he became the media darling?

[Kimmers]

You are right, not only will he never be convicted but he will get reelected.

[Fresh Wind]

Another Obamatron.

Yes, the drugs were an incidental finding. More specifically, it's about Currie using his influence to benefit a major campaign contributor, Shoppers Food and Pharmacy, who petitioned for the traffic light. The Feds also searched Shoppers headquarters.

The media, as usual, sensationalizes and skews the real story in the first graph, and most of "us" play right into their hands.

Did they check the freezer in his garage?
