nonaddictive products. so we re seeing great results from people just taking these wellness products, but we do have the other lane which is probably going to study more, have more fda approval drugs that treat specific diseases. all right. because cbd comes from hemp plants, this could also present an opportunity for u.s. agriculture to get in on the market. congress removed hemp from the controlled substances list as part of the 2018 farm bill. retailers both big and small now sell a variety of cbd products like lotions, oils, and candy. in fact, the new york post recently reported that walmart and target were exploring cbd product lines. joining me now, bruce linton who gave me this little button. he s the ceo of canopy growth corporation. it s a canadian-based cannabis company and you have bought a factory here in the united states. yeah. where you are planning to do what? so it s in what they call the southern tier of new york state and what it is, it s about a 400,000 s
it was the views of a particular lawyer our lawyers. and so we applied what we thought was the right law. what we thought was the right law. it s important to note that the amount of time the attorney general spent making his conclusion on obstruction, it was march 22nd when mueller submitted his report to the attorney general. march 24th, 48 hours later, the attorney general submitted his summary of mueller s report to congress. concluding that the evidence developed during mueller s investigation, quote, is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. that s despite the fact that mueller wrote in his report, and chose to highlight on wednesday, this point. if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. we did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. under longstanding department
policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. that is unconstitutional. charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider. that was pretty clear. joining me now, june kim, forming acting u.s. attorney for the southern district of fork. i m not a lawyer, never was one, never could have been one, but there are some things that, you know, you can see are mental gymnastics that are hard to get through. first of all, the attorney general said many of the instances that robert mueller cited are things he couldn t agree with as being evidence of crimes. which means not all of them. so glenn kirchner pointed out this morning, perhaps that would be congress first question of robert of bill barr. of the many you didn t thinkrem? was there something you think is serious and should be pursued? that s a good point. i mean, all you need is one act of obstruction for it to be obstruction of justice for a
