Although details were initially sketchy, Lumber Liquidators' (LL) stock price plunged as much as 10% early Friday after a reported raid by federal investigators on its headquarters related to a probe of illegal imports.

In a statement, the top flooring retailer with more than 300 stores nationwide, said it would provide to investigators information and documents related to the import of certain products.

And Christian Radio.

They are a good source of fine wood flooring.

The government is going after its enemies and is out of control.

We can rest assured LL did not donate to the rat party.

It is probably over.

“The government is going after its enemies and is out of control.”

No, it’s in control alright. Welcome to Communism where any disagreement or idea unlike theirs is met with force. No dissension allowed. Period.

It will only get worse. Look at history. May God Help us!

No enquiries as to the possible POLITICAL Nature of this action..have been made of the company on its facebook page as yet.

Shares of Lumber Liquidators were down about 8% in Friday morning trading on the stock market today.

perhaps the raid has already begun to have its expected affect on business....

I know the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is really interested in imported lumber.

I do business with these guys through the company I work for. I’ve been told they are very good people. My experience on the periphery confirms that.

DHS gestapo raiding a flooring store? Anyone else think DHS needs to be shut down immediately.

We did fine without them and had we had a president who would defend the country OBL would have been arrested instead of being left to plot 9/11.

The letters are different but I defy anyone to show any difference between DHS and the KGB.

Same headcount as the USMC and TWICE their budget.

3,000 MRAPs and 1.7 billion rounds of ammo.

73 federal agencies now carry arms --Dept of Education has a SWAT team.

Even the Library of Congress has a SWAT team.

WHAT WOULD THE FRAMERS THINK OF THIS?
