Pat Robertson weighs in: Pardon everyone & shut Mueller down.

[Honeycombe8]

Anyway...he says that they probably will get Manafort on some technicality because it looks like he didn't register re the Foreign Agent thing. (Robertson minimizes the charges.) But this has nothing to do with Trump or the White House. Trump needs to just pardon everyone and shut the Mueller investigation down.

Previously, Robertson was upset when FBI agents armed with a warrant "broke into" Manafort's home.

Robertson called it a fishing expedition and believes the president should give permission for a special counsel to be appointed.

"Now he's empowering grand juries and having search warrants of distinguished Republican's homes, this is outrageous!"

1. I'm not going to bother watching.

Does it involve a flood, hurricane or earthquake? Thanks in advance.

[snooper2]

18. It was actually pretty funny- At the end, "He has got to shut this thing down, he has GOT TO!"

I hope this POS stays alive long enough to see drumpf goes to prison. He can kick the bucket the day after LOL.

[Honeycombe8]

24. No pretense of respect for the law. nt

[Blue Owl]

2. Let's just do away with the 10 commandments while we're at it

Might as well...

[berni_mccoy]

3. TRAITORS ARE OUT IN FORCE! LOCK THEM UP!

[Freethinker65]

4. And it is all Gods punishment because of abortions and gays and kneeling minority football players

[Mr. Ected]

5. Which is exactly what he said about Hillary, right?

Didn't think so.

God ain't smiling on you, Pat. In the afterlife you imagine, you will be a perpetual cinder.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

21. "In the afterlife you imagine, you will be a perpetual cinder".

Thanks for the visual! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.

[Honeycombe8]

25. Yep. Talk about selling your soul for own benefit. nt

[sunonmars]

6. That charlatan would praise satan himself if he threw a dollar in the bucket for him.

[Brother Buzz]

7. There's no proof Pat Robertson contracted syphilis from goats

So stop saying that!

[MontanaMama]

9. Some people are saying...

Goats?? Beautiful BB, just beautiful.

[Sneederbunk]

10. The goats need immunity before they bleat.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

17. Super funny

[Big_K]

30. If the goats have immunity

does that mean they don't have the syphilis they allegedly gave to Pat Robertson? Although again there is no DIRECT evidence he has an STD.

[Brother Buzz]

35. There is evidence he may have contracted a STD, just not from a goat

This is a good 'blast from the past' article that Pat Robertson doesn't want you to read. Enjoy.

A Lawsuit Over Pat Robertson's War Record Has Ex-Marine Pete Mccloskey Fighting Mad
BY WILLIAM PLUMMER AND DIRK MATHISON

14 MARCH, 1988


The newly minted officers aboard the U.S.S. Breckinridge didn’t know whether to take the affable young marine seriously or not. It was January 1951, and they were on their way to the fighting in Korea. In the ship’s wardroom, 20-year-old Marion G. “Pat” Robertson, a second lieutenant straight out of officer’s training at Quantico, Va., was telling them that his father, A. Willis Robertson, was a U.S. Senator from Virginia and that he was going to have Pat reassigned. Sure enough, when the First Marine Division docked in Kobe, Japan, Robertson, his college buddy Edwin Gaines and four other young officers were taken off the ship and detailed to Otsu—ostensibly to train soldiers coming off the front lines.

Such, at least, is the recollection of Paul “Pete” McCloskey, a former seven-term Republican Congressman from Northern California who was one of the young marines on the Breckinridge. “The most distinct memory I have of all this,” says McCloskey, 60, “is Pat standing on the dock at Kobe with this big grin on his face, saying, ‘So long, you guys—good luck.’ ” That memory was vividly revived years later when Robertson, by then a well-known TV evangelist, began making public reference to being a combat veteran. Says McCloskey, a decorated Marine officer who was wounded in action in Korea, “I don’t condemn Robertson for what he did 37 years ago, but I sure as hell don’t like him lying about it now.”

Last year, after McCloskey began sharing his recollections with the press, Robertson retaliated with a $35 million libel suit. The case was scheduled to begin before a Washington, D.C., judge on Super Tuesday, but last week, Robertson moved to dismiss the suit rather than have it open on the day of the presidential primaries in his southern strongholds.

For Robertson, the timing could hardly have been worse. With the electorate already primed to distrust TV preachers, Robertson conceded that his suit may have been “a bad idea” but insisted it was a matter of “personal honor.” A President’s duties include “the sending of boys into battle, sometimes to their death,” Robertson noted on the day he sued. “No man can serve in that capacity with an unresolved cloud over his own…military service.” In a pretrial deposition, Robertson said he never asked his father for any special consideration affecting his Marine Corps service. “There are things that are, in my estimation, dishonorable,” he said, “namely, getting favors to keep one out of combat. I wouldn’t have done it.”

Love it!

Thanks!

[Honeycombe8]

26. LOL. nt

29. BOB!

I think he or Auntie Pinko brought me to DU.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

8. Robertson

Is a total waste of oxygen.

[angstlessk]

14. From the looks of him, his oxygen wasting days are numbered!

Only the good die young!

[Honeycombe8]

27. I noticed...he's looking so frail. nt

[Thor_MN]

11. Why?

Who cares what that dried up piece gunk thinks? The flavor of his after-lunch pudding is more relevant than his thoughts.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Unamerican jackass

and phony baloney money grubbing preacher

[Permanut]

15. Slimy weasel..

Evil huckster. One third of the unholy alliance of billionaires, Bible thumpers and gun huggers.

[Turbineguy]

16. They should give that fucking guy

to ISIS to practice on.

[emulatorloo]

19. Yeah, that's just what Jesus would do. Protect the liars and punish the truth-seekers

(Sarcasm thingy)

[sprinkleeninow]

20. These are what ruin the notion of the Christian message.

These should keep their sanctimonious noses out of politics. "It is written!"

My righteous indignation is off the charts. 📈

[oasis]

22. Pat's decided to turn to the gospel of FoxNews. nt

[coolsandy]

23. Spoken like a true Christian, law abiding citizen.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. TEchnicality, eh? Isnt Manafort the one who helped Putin kill Ukrainians?

Pat, you are a disgrace

[muntrv]

31. Twittler cannot pardon state crimes, only federal.

[HopeAgain]

32. Question:

Is Pat doing all this politicking as a tax-exempt religious organization? If so, maybe we should open a few churches ourselves that lead the sheep in a different direction?

[MFM008]

33. Unless they are gay

or people of color...............then lock em up.

[BigDemVoter]

34. Good thing that nobody listens to this aging fascist. . . .

[Iggo]

36. Pardon them for what, Pat?

[Honeycombe8]

38. LOL. nt

[leon8822]

37. Old ass fool

[magicarpet]

39. Fascist Jesus and his deplorable disciples get a word in ....

.... edge wise. The US Constitution and the rule of law are spit on and shit on all by the decree of Jesus Christ All Mighty because he himself commands it so.

Why do these Fascist pseudo-Christian Dominionist/Reconstructionist charlatans hate America so ?

Drop dead Reverend Robertson.

[Roland99]

40. His BS show comes on after morning news on a local channel here

Heard about five min before I left for work

He's demented and deluded

[alphafemale]

41. Pardons are an admission of guilt.

Keep repeating that.

[Honeycombe8]

42. Apparently Robertson doesn't care about guilt. It's freeing Trump to continue feeding Robertson...

and his special interests.

[Hortensis]

43. Whackadoodles coming out of the woodwork. Lyndon Larouche

is still alive (who knew?!). He's still epitomizing where the far right and far left fall off the edge together, in this era apparently splatting in the trumpster.

He currently thinks Trump needs to fire "amoral legal assassin" Mueller and go after Hillary. And he has a PAC and would like us all to give him money.
