Obama nemesis Hobby Lobby probed for allegedly buying black market biblical items
Fox News ^ | October 29, 2015 | Malia Zimmerman

As the world’s foremost collector of rare biblical artifacts, Steven Green may have made a deal with the devil - helping to preserve Iraq’s disappearing Christian heritage by allegedly buying black market items plundered by the Islamic State.

Green, whose family-owned Hobby Lobby company clashed bitterly with the Obama administration over federal health care laws that required it to cover reproductive services, is being investigated by Customs & Border Protection reportedly for attempting to smuggle as many as 300 age-old cuneiform tablets from Iraq into the U.S. via Israel, labeling them "tiles." It was not clear if the probe centers on Green, the company, or both, but the shipment was reportedly addressed to Hobby Lobby headquarters in Oklahoma City.

Um, if they were made of clay, if they were fired,
then they ARE tiles.

Next up, Obama to investigate Elgin Marbles.

More Gibson type harrassment. Bureaucratic bullying is this administration’s middle name.

I wouldn’t put it past the 0bama admin to have clandestinely lured Green into doing this, as revenge, yes.

Is this similar to the Gibson Guitar persecution?

Long expensive investigation no charges filed?

Nothing to do with law enforcement just lefty harassment.

This will be the weekly Saturday digest ping -- two days early. Better to let the antiquities be destroyed on YouTube video, eh, Zero?

So... Is there a law against buying artifacts overseas and shipping them to the U.S.? If so, why?

Quite. Labeling them, say, "sushi" would be inaccurate. But they ARE tiles.

I’m just speculating here, but couldn’t it be to prevent the looting of a country’s national treasures?

Nice headline.
Hobby Lobby is a 'nemesis' to Obama because they are Pro-Life.
Just kind of shows the type of guy he is...
When your 'nemeses' are Pro-Family, Pro-Protection of Babies, and Pro-Christian ... you ought to reconsider your direction... Because the end thereof promises to be pretty 'hot' and fiery.

You know The Obama has been waiting and praying (to himself) for a chance to whack Hobby Lobbys owners.

No one, but no one, is allowed to thwart the plans of The Obama.
