Falwell Urges Barr to Prosecute Those Who Launched Mueller Investigation

Jerry Falwell, Jr., one of President Trump’s most enthusiastic evangelical boosters, appeared on Breitbart News Sunday and declared that Trump will get an even bigger percentage of the evangelical vote in 2020 than he did in 2016.

According to an exit-poll analysis by the Pew Research Center, 81 percent of “white, born-again/evangelical Christians” who voted in the 2016 presidential election cast their ballots for Trump.

-snip-

Falwell said that his recent tweet—retweeted by Trump—asserting that the president should get a two-year extension on his presidency due to the “corrupt failed coup” was “tongue-in-cheek,” but added that “somebody needs to pay” for the Mueller investigation. “Somebody needs to be prosecuted,” Falwell said.

Speaking of the two-year investigation that yielded the Mueller report, Falwell said that he hoped Attorney General William Barr will go after the people responsible for “probably the greatest scandal and abuse of power in American history.”

If these christianistas continue to involve themselves in politics, their tax-exempt status MUST be revoked.

I found out that 6 years olds have been taught (by mom and dad I presume) that the "bad S word" is not what I assumed it would be but is in fact "stupid". Stupid ME, thought it was "shit" all these years.

So, he wants to prosecute the Russians?
Actually, it's the pseudo-spiritual, right wing, fundamentalist anti-christians that Falwell represents who are really at fault.
They pulled the levers that put Trump in office, and they are the ones who should be investigated.
How can such loveless people claim to follow Jesus?

dig up McCain's corpse and put it on trial for handing the Dossier to the FBI.

put HRC on trial for... something... email server-ish.

put McCabe on trial for whatever it was he got fired for.

Trump's going to put on a circus that will compete with his Impeachment, and Barr joined to facilitate the final debasement of the DOJ and FBI. There's no bar to low.

Are you not entertained?

...But it's also pretty darn curious that Falwell Jr. recently admitted in court that he paid $1.8 million to a pool attendant at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau resort who had befriended the Falwell family...

...BuzzFeed News has previously reported that the real-estate transaction also had some odd potential ties to Michael Cohen, Trump's former "fixer" who was recently sentenced to three years in prison for illegally paying two porn stars to keep quiet about having sex with Trump...
