    Looks like G-man is in the clear.  He's not got any goods of
    services for sale or import.

    Thanks for tracking this down and posting it, Rob.

    Just more idle threats from the lying ho, trying to use some
    obscure law to stifle free speech critical of her criminal

    Good work, Grady!  It's gonna be fun watching this one play
    out.
